IrinaK [193]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(a) 5142.86 m

(b) 317.5 m/s

(c) 49.3 degree C

Explanation:

m = 100 kg, Q = 1200 kcal = 1200 x 1000 x 4.2 = 504 x 10^4 J

(a) Let the altitude be h

Q = m x g x h

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 9.8 x h

h = 5142.86 m

(b) Let v be the speed

Q = 1/2 m v^2

504 x 10^4 =  1/2 x 100 x v^2

v = 317.5 m/s

(c) The temperature of normal human body, T1 = 37 degree C

Let the final temperature is T2.

Q = m x c x (T2 - T1)

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 4.1 x 1000 x (T2 - 37)

T2 = 49.3 degree C

A golf ball is struck with a five iron on level ground. it lands 100.0 m away 4.60 s later. what was the magnitude and direction
finlep [7]

consider the motion in x-direction

v_{ox} = initial velocity in x-direction = ?

X = horizontal distance traveled = 100 m

a_{x} = acceleration along x-direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

X = v_{ox} t + (0.5) a_{x} t²

100 =  v_{ox} (4.60)

v_{ox} = 21.7 m/s


consider the motion along y-direction

v_{oy} = initial velocity in y-direction = ?

Y = vertical displacement  = 0 m

a_{y} = acceleration along x-direction = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.60 sec

Using the equation

Y = v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t²

0 = v_{oy} (4.60) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.60)²

v_{oy} = 22.54 m/s

initial velocity is given as

v_{o} = sqrt((v_{ox})² + (v_{oy})²)

v_{o} = sqrt((21.7)² + (22.54)²) = 31.3 m/s

direction: θ = tan⁻¹(22.54/21.7) = 46.12 deg

How does an NASCAR works?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

It works by adding an engine, a transmission, car batteries, an extra strong frame in case of a crash, and much more needed things. When it races, The rubber often burns a lot, because of the high speeds that it goes, so that is why they so often change the tires. They give it a full tank of gas, which is basically like the car's idea of food and water. A NASCAR must have a trong engine to go so fast in order to win a race.

Explanation:

Just think of it like building a lego car just hot gluing the legos together and seeing if it breaks.

algol13
The values of these two forces are equal. Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you. When you and the Earth fall toward each other, your acceleration is greater than the Earth's acceleration, because your mass is less than the Earth's mass.
