Cindy saw her mother heating a wet pan on the stove. As the pan got hotter, the water on the outside began to dry. Why?

Answer:

As the temperature of materials increase, the objects find a phenomenon called change of phase.

This means that if you give enough heat to a liquid, this can change of state from liquid state to gas state (the water evaporates)

So the water in the pan reaches the evaporation temperature (around 100°C) and it starts to evaporate, this is why the water on the outside begins to "dry"

Starting from rest, a 2.3x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts

Harman [31]

Answer:

3.13 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Since the flea spring started from rest,

Ek = W................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the flea spring, W = work done on the flea spring.

But,

Ek = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the flea spring, v = flea's speed when it leaves the ground.

substitute equation 2 into equation 1

1/2mv² = W.................... Equation 3

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2W/m)................. Equation 4

Given: W = 3.6×10⁻⁴ J, m = 2.3×10⁻⁴ kg

Substitute into equation 4

v = √[2×3.6×10⁻⁴ )/2.3×10⁻⁴]

v = 7.2/2.3

v = 3.13 m/s

Hence the flea's speed when it leaves the ground = 3.13 m/s

A car accelerates uniformly from rest at a speed of 1.67 ft s^2 over a distance of 5 yards.What is the acceleration of a car?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a= 17.69 m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 23 m/s

u= 0m/s

v= 23m/s

distance= 30m

Step two:

We know that

acceleration= velocity/time

also,

velocity= distance/time

23= 30/t

t= 30/23

t= 1.30 seconds

hence

acceleration= 23/1.30

accelaration= 17.69 m/s^2

A student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 24 m/

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a) Vf = 27.13 m/s

b) It would have been the same

Explanation:

On the y-axis:

$Y=-Vo*sin\theta*t-1/2*g*t^2$

$-8=-24*sin(21)*t-1/2*10*t^2$

Solving for t:

t1 = 0.67s t2= -2.4s

Discarding the negative value and using the positive one to calculate the velocity:

$Vf_y = -Vo*sin\theta-g*t$

$Vf_y = -15.3m/s$

So, the module of the velocity will be:

$Vf=\sqrt{(-15.3)^2+(24*cos(21))^2}$

$Vf=27.13m/s$

If you throw it above horizontal, it would go up first, and when it reached the initial height, the velocity would be the same at the throwing instant. And starting then, the movement will be the same.
