We have the equation of motion s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2, where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here s = 300 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting

   300 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2 = 300\\ \\ t =7.82 seconds

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Here u = 0 m/s, a= 9.81 m/s^2 and t = 7.82 seconds

Substituting

     v = 0+9.8*7.82 = 76.68 m/s

The speed with which the penny strikes the ground = 76.68 m/s.

A group of campers travels to a cabin which has no electrical power. In order to provide for a heater and lights, which device w
larisa [96]

Answer:A generator is the appropriate device to be used.

Explanation:

A generator is a device which transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy.

The different parts of a generator includes:

- Engine, alternator, fuel system, voltage regulator, lubricating system, cooling and exhaust system, Battery charger and control panel.

The generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction which states that

that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Therefore, the use of a generator is the best device for the campers to provide electrical power source for their heaters and light in the cabin.

As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Becomes older

Explanation:

As sea floor spreading occurs at divergent margins, the oceanic plate becomes older. Younger plate margin are the closest to the margin whereas the older plates bushes backward away from the spreading centers.

  • The idea that the sea floor spreads was postulated by Harry Hess shortly after the second world war around the 1960's.
  • At divergent margins new crust materials from the mantle are brought to the surface.
  • They crystallize and settle at the flanks of plate margins.
  • Older ones are pushed backward away from the margin into far away subduction zones.

When a hot and cold object are placed in contact, the hot one loses energy. Does this violate energy conservation? Why or why no
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

This does not violate the conservation of energy.

Explanation:

This does not violate the conservation of energy because the hot body gives energy in the form of heat to the colder body, this second absorbs energy. This will be the case until both bodies reach the same temperature, reaching thermal equilibrium and reducing the transfer of thermal energy. In this way the energy was only transferred from one body to another but the total energy of the system (body 1 plus body 2) will be the same as in the beginning, respecting the principle of conservation of energy or also called the first principle of thermodynamics .

The part of physics that studies these processes is in turn called heat transfer or heat transfer or thermal transfer. Heat transfer occurs whenever there is a thermal gradient or when two systems with different temperatures come into contact. The process persists until thermal equilibrium is reached, that is, until temperatures are equalized. When there is a temperature difference between two objects or regions close enough, the heat transfer cannot be stopped, it can only be slowed down.
