An unlit match is held near (not touching) a Bunsen flame. The match doesn't get hot enough to light because

The answer is option D)
this is because the heat radiated by the flame is mostly absorbed by the air surrounding it, so the air becomes hot and its density decreases (because of expansion), therefore it goes up and it is replaced by cooler air. since all of the hot air flies up, non goes side ways to heat up the match stick, hence it remains cool and does not light up.

option A) also sounds correct, but it isn't. this is because the flame IS hot enough to burn the match stick, it's just that the match stick is positioned the wrong way

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projectile be v and angle of throw be θ.

The projectile takes 5 s to touch the ground during which period it falls vertically by 100 m

considering its vertical displacement

h = - ut +1/2 g t²

100 = - vsinθ x 5 + .5 x 9.8 x 5²

5vsinθ =  222.5

vsinθ = 44.5

It covers 160 horizontally in 5 s

vcosθ x 5 = 160

v cosθ = 32

squaring and adding

v²sin²θ +v² cos²θ = 44.4² + 32²

v² = 1971.36 + 1024

v = 54.73 m /s

You can use the impulse momentum theorem and just subtract the two momenta.
P1 - P2 = (16-1.2)(11.5e4)=1702000Ns
If you first worked out the force and integrated it over time the result is the same

Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 60m high
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Potential energy is U=mgh

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.

Potential energy  U=mgh

In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.

But we know the values of g and h

g=9.81m/s^2

h=60m

So, the potential energy

U=m(9.81m/s^2)(60m)\\\\U=588.6*m

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.
