Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other

An 87.6 g lead ball is dropped from rest from a height of 7.00 m. The collision between the ball and the ground is totally inela

bija089 [108]

Taking specific heat of lead as 0.128 J/gK = c

We have energy of ball at 7.00 meter height = mgh = $87.6*10^{-3}*9.81*7$

When leads gets heated by a temperature ΔT energy needed = mcΔT

= $87.6*10^{-3}*0.128*10^3$ ΔT

Comparing both the equations

$87.6*10^{-3}*9.81*7$ = $87.6*10^{-3}*0.128*10^3$ ΔT

ΔT = 0.536 K

Change in temperature same in degree and kelvin scale

So ΔT = 0.536 $^0C$

How does potential and kinetic energy change in to each other and back again?

PolarNik [594]

They can change because the law of conservation of energy allows it to happen, for example when you are sitting, your body is at a potential energy state, meaning you are inert, you are not moving, but when you get up and suddenly start walking or running, that energy is converted to kinetic energy, meaning that you are moving and can be changed back into potential energy if all of a sudden you stop running or walking to rest or sit down. This is just an example of how energy can are transferred multiple ways

Two objects of the same mass, but made of different materials, are initially at the same temperature. Equal amounts of heat are

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The final temperature of the two objects is the same.

Explanation:

The expression for the heat energy in terms of mass, specific heat and the change in the temperature is as follows:

$Q=mc(T_{f} -T_{i})$

Here, Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the object, c is the specific heat and $T_{f},T_{i}$ are the final temperature and initial temperature.

According to the given question, Two objects of the same mass, but made of different materials, are initially at the same temperature. Equal amounts of heat are added to each object.

$Q=mc(T_{f}-T_{i})$ ............(1)

$Q=mc(T'_{f}-T_{i})$ .............(2)

From (1) and (2),

$mc(T_{f}-T_{i})=mc(T'_{f}-T_{i})$

$T_{f}-T_{i}=T'_{f}-T_{i}$

$T_{f}=T'_{f}$

Therefore, the final temperature of the two objects is the same.

Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direc

Lerok [7]

Answer:

424.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q

The relative speed will be calculated by using pythagorean theorem

Relative speed = sqrt(300^2 + 300^2)

Relative speed = sqrt( 180000 )

Relative speed = 424.26 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q is 424.26 m/s
