Liquid water is essential for life to exist. Water can occur in a liquid state only within a specific temperature range, so knowing the temperature range on a planet will help astronomers predict whether life exists on that planet. I hope that this helps

Because it gives us the abilitity to find planets that have decent temperatures relative to earths temp so we can determine if the planet even has a possiblilty to sustain life hope this helps

A spring has a natural length of 0.5 m and was stretched by 0.02 m. if the spring had a resultant energy of 0.5 j what is the sp

Anna71 [15]

$\textbf{2500 }\dfrac{\textbf{kg}}{\textbf{s}^{\textbf{2}}}$

Explanation:

Natural length of a spring is $0.5\text{ }m$ . The spring is streched by $0.02\text{ }m$ . The resultant energy of the spring is $0.5\text{ }J$ .

The potential energy of an ideal spring with spring constant $k$ and elongation $x$ is given by $\dfrac{1}{2}kx^{2}$ .

So, in the current problem, the natural length of the spring is not required to find the spring constant $k$ .

$\text{Potential Energy in the spring = }\dfrac{1}{2}kx^{2}\\0.5\text{ }J\text{ }=\text{ }\dfrac{1}{2}k(0.02\text{ }m)^{2}\\k\times0.0004\text{ }m^{2}\text{ }=\text{ }1\text{ }J\text{ }=\text{ }1\text{ }kg\frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}\\k\text{ }=\text{ }\dfrac{1\text{ }kg\dfrac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}}{0.0004\text{ }m^{2}}\text{ }=\text{ }2500\text{ }\frac{kg}{s^{2}}$

∴ The spring constant of the spring = $2500\text{ }\frac{kg}{s^{2}}$

A golfer hits her tee-shot due north towards the fairway. Her shot has an initial velocity of 60 m/s. A 15 m/s wind is blowing i

vovangra [49]

Answer:

$c=71.4m/s$

$\theta=8.54\textdegree$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Initial velocity of 60 m/s

Wind speed $V_w= 15 m/s \angle 45 \textdegree$

Generally Resolving vector mathematically

$sin(45\textdegree)15=10.6\\cos(45\textdegree)15=10.6$

Generally the equation Pythagoras theorem is given mathematically by

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

$c^2=10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2$

$c=\sqrt{10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2}$

Therefore Resultant velocity (m/s)

$c=71.4m/s$

b)Resultant direction

Generally the equation for solving Resultant direction

$\theta=tan^-1(\frac{y}{x})$

Therefore

$\theta=tan^-1(\frac{10.6}{70.6})$

$\theta=8.54\textdegree$

An electron in a television tube is accelerated uniformly from rest to a speed of 8.4\times 10^7~\text{m/s}8.4×10 7 m/s over

stich3 [128]

Answer:

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

Explanation:

From the kinematics of motion with constant acceleration we know that :

vf^2=vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

Where :

• vf , vi, are the the final and the initial velocity of the electron

• a is the acceleration of the electron

• xf , xi are the final and the initial position of the electron .

Strategy for solving the problem : at first from the given information we calculate the acceleration of the electron.

Givens: vf = 8.4 x 10^7 m/s , vi, = 0 m/s , xf = 0.025 m and xi = 0 m

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2-vi^2=2*a(xf-xi)

2*a(xf-xi)= vf^2-vi^2

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

Pluging known information to get :

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

= 1.411 × 10^17

From the acceleration and the previous Eq. we can calculate the final velocity of the electron but a new position xf = 0.01 m

so,

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2 =5.312× 10^7

From the following Eq. we can calculate the time elapsed in this motion .

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

t=√2(xf-xi)/a

t=3.765×10^-10 s

now we can use the power P Eq.

P=W/Δt => ΔK/Δt

Where: the work done W change the kinetic energy K of the electron ,

ΔK=Kf-Ki=>1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2

P=1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2/Δt

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

How much time does it take a rhino running at 40 m/s to run 250 m?

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Rhinoceroses are odd-toed ungulates native to sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia, though all five living species have hugely contracted in range and number due to the influence of humans. Despite their titanic, tank-like bulk, rhinos can be amazingly swift: The fastest may reach at least 50 kilometers per hour (31 mph).

A student performs a reaction twice. In the second trial, she raises the temperature by 20¨¬C and notices that the reaction take

Lerok [7]

Answer: She is incorrect to conclude that the reaction is endothermic.

As in the second trial, the temperature has increased by 20 °C , that means the heat has been released and energy is released in exothermic reactions.

Exothermic reactions: The reactions in which the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, and the excess energy is released as heat.

Endothermic reactions: The reactions in which the energy of the products is more than the energy of the reactants, and the excess energy is absorbed as heat.
