<span>A. kinetic energy. </span>

Friction converts kinetic energy into heat, and so it represents a net loss of mechanical energy. When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into heat. As demonstrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to start a fire, kinetic energy is converted to heat whenever motion with friction occurs. The friction produced by brake pads in a car must generate a quantity of heat equal to the kinetic energy of the car and as a result, the brakes get quite hot.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 54.0 s. The

timama [110]

Answer:

a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s

c)λ= 36m

d)v=3.6m/s

e)amplitude, cannot be determined

Explanation:

Complete question is:

Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.

Given:

number of wave crests 'n'= 5

pass in a time't' 54.0s

distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m

a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have

f=n/t

f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz

b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore,

T=1/f

T=1/0.1

T=10 sec.

c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m

Therefore, λ= 36m

d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength

v= fλ => 0.1 x 36

v=3.6m/s

e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4orbits}$

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km/Orbit$

Explanation:

Given Data:

Numbers of times Telescope cycled around the earth in 6 years=37,000 times

Total Distance traveled in 6 years by the Hubble Space Telescope=1,280,000,000 Km

Find:

Kilometers in one Orbit=?

Solution:

Kilometers in 37,000 Orbits=1,280,000,000 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=1,280,000,000/37,000

In Scientific Notation:

$Kilometers\ in\ 3.7*10^4\ Orbits=1.28*10^9 Km$

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4 orbits}$

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=34594.594 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit in Scientific notation:

$Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km$

A car travels from Boston to Hartford in 4 hours. The two cities are 240 kilometers apart. What was the average speed of the car

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hour

Explanation:

When we need to calculate average speed, we use this equation:

$V = \frac{x_{f} - x_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}}$

Where: $x_{o} = 0 km$ position at the beginning

$x_{f} = 240 km$ at the end

$t_{o} = 0 hours$

$t_{f} = 4 hours$

Then: $V = \frac{240 km - 0 km}{4 hours - 0 hours}$

$V = \frac{240 km}{4 hours}$

Finally V = 60 km/hour

The Coriolis effect is the result of which of these?

Anarel [89]

The coriolis effect was discovered in the 19th century by Gaspard. C. Coriolis. It simply relates to anything that moves freely on the surface of the earth including apparent curvature global winds and ocean currents.
This curvature is mainly due to the rotation of the earth around its axis.

What happened to the balloon when it was placed on the bottle with the baking soda and vinegar and why.

user100 [1]

Answer:

The ballon would be inflated. The reason is that the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda reacts with acetic acid in vinegar to produce gas.

Explanation:

The main component of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, ${\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}$ .

Vinegar is mostly a solution of acetic acid ${\rm CH_{3}COOH}$ in water.

Acids such as acetic acid react with carbonate salts. One of the products of such reactions is carbon dioxide ${\rm CO_{2}}$ , a gas.

In this question, when the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the following reaction would occur:

$\begin{aligned}& {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COOH}\, (aq) \\ &\to 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COONa}\, (aq) + {\rm CO_{2}}\, (g)\end{aligned}$ .

The ${\rm CO_{2}}$ produced would then inflate the ballon placed on the opening of the bottle.
