Janetta ran a campaign for student body president, and she really wanted to win. She gave election buttons to everyone and told

them how much she appreciated their friendship. Then Janetta told each person that she hoped for a vote. Are Janetta's actions altruistic? Yes, because she gave a gift and expressed her appreciation. No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her. Yes, because her kind compliments probably made others feel good. No, because running for president always means people are dishonest.

Answer:

No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her.

Explanation:

Altruism is when you do something for others and have very little expectation of getting something in return. In this case, Janetta expected something in return from her friends. We may not also be sure of the sincerity of Janetta appreciating friendship. From the above definition of altruism, we conclude that Janetta's actions are not altruistic because she hoped that people will vote for her.

Energy Transformation
Serjik [45]

Answer:

<em>K =400000 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy</u>

Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2000*20^2

Calculating:

K =400000 J

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 128 ​ft/second, then its height after t seconds is given by the follow
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity u= 128 ft/sec

Equation of height

h = 128t-32t^2....(I)

(a). We need to calculate the maximum height

Firstly we need to calculate the time

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0

From equation (I)

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=128-64t

128-64t=0

t=\dfrac{128}{64}

t=2\ sec

Now, for maximum height

Put the value of t in equation (I)

h =128\times2-32\times4

h=128\ ft

(b). The number of seconds it takes the object to hit the ground.

We know that, when the object reaches ground the height becomes zero

128t-32t^2=0

t(128-32t)=0

128=32t

t=4\ sec

Hence, The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature(T_i)=300 K

P_i=10 atm

P_f=2 atm

Work done in iso-thermal process=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}

P_i=initial pressure

P_f=Final Pressure

W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is=P\Delta V

V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L

V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L

\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J

\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J

\Delta U=0

In a lab, a student drags a shoe across the floor at constant speed. If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and
Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>

What is the difference between a free body diagram and a vector diagram?​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Free body diagrams are used to describe situations where several forces act on an object. On the other hand Vector diagrams are used to resolve (break down) a single force into two forces acting as right angles to eachother
