Answer:

$ 0.48

Explanation:

We can calculate this quantity easily using successive products and taking into account the units.

$\frac{0.08}{kw*h}*2[kw]*3[hr]\\ \\=0.48$

The amount is $ 0.48

The temperature of the liquid in a container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Juliette [100K]

The correct response that will be used to describe this particular element would be the third option, since all of the other options are incorrect and apply to different elements in their groups. The element is a metal and will react with a non metal.

A package is dropped from an air balloon two times. In the first trial the distance between the balloon and the surface is Hand

enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:

$v=gt$

And the distance traveled downwards is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Replacing into the first equation:

$\displaystyle v=g\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Rationalizing:

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{2gy}$

Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_1=\sqrt{2gH}$

Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_2=\sqrt{2g(4H)}$

Taking out the square root of 4:

$\displaystyle v_2=2\sqrt{2gH}$

Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=\frac{2\sqrt{2gH}}{\sqrt{2gH}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=2$

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.
