Answer: c. Forest fires release the seeds stored in Jack pine cones.

Fire ecology is a scientific discipline that deals with the natural processes that involves fire in an ecosystem and in the ecological effects. Fire in the ecosystem either generates naturally or intentionally by humans. The fire generated naturally is useful in the forests ecosystem, especially forests with coniferous trees. The trees exhibit special adaptation, which involves the release of seeds from the cones by the aid of fire. The naturally generated fires melts the resin covering the cones and helps in the release of seeds from these cones of coniferous trees such as pine.

Hence, forest fires release the seeds stored in Jack pine cones is the correct option.

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. The projectile reaches maxi
Alchen [17]

Answer:

x ≈ 56 m

Explanation:

vertical initial velocity =v_{0y}(t) = 25 m/s* sin(30°)= 12.5 m/s

height = h

h =v_{0y}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2} \\\\65m = 12.5m/s*t + \frac{9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}}{2} \\\\t=2.584 s

t- time is found solving quadratic equation.

horizontal velocity = v_{0x}=25m/s*cos(30^{o})=21.65 m/s

Horizontal velocity is constant, so distance x=v_{0x}*t =21.65 m/s *2.584 s=55.9 = 56 m

A balloon contains 2.3 mol of helium at 1.0 atm , initially at 240 ∘C. What's the initial volume? What's the volume after the ga
pashok25 [27]
A) initial volume
We can calculate the initial volume of the gas by using the ideal gas law:
p_i V_i = nRT_i
where
p_i=1.0 atm=1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa is the initial pressure of the gas
V_i is the initial volume of the gas
n=2.3 mol is the number of moles
R=8.31 J/K mol is the gas constant
T_i=240^{\circ}C=513 K is the initial temperature of the gas

By re-arranging this equation, we can find V_i:
V_i =  \frac{nRT_i}{p_i} = \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/mol K)(513 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa}=0.097 m^3

2) Now the gas cools down to a temperature of
T_f = 14^{\circ}C=287 K
while the pressure is kept constant: p_f = p_i = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa, so we can use again the ideal gas law to find the new volume of the gas
V_f =  \frac{nRT_f}{p_f}= \frac{(2.3 mol)(8.31 J/molK)(287 K)}{1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa} = 0.054 m^3

3) In a process at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is equal to the product between the pressure and the difference of volume:
W=p \Delta V= p(V_f -V_i)
by using the data we found at point 1) and 2), we find
W=p(V_f -V_i)=(1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.054 m^3-0.097 m^3)=-4343 J
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.

A 115 g hockey puck sent sliding over ice is stopped in 15.1 m by the frictional force on it from the ice.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

(a) Ff = 0.128 N

(b μk = 0.1135

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because the hockey puck  moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf=v₀+a*t Formula (1)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s

Calculation of the acceleration of the  hockey puck

We apply the Formula (1)

vf=v₀+a*t      v₀=5.8 m/s ,  vf=0

0=5.8+a*t

-5.8 = a*t

a= -5.8/t   Equation (1)

We replace a= -5.8/t in the Formula (2)

d= v₀*t+ (1/2)*a*t²   ,  d=15.1 m ,  v₀=5.8 m/s

15.1 = 5.8*t+ (1/2)*(-5.8/t)*t²  

15.1= 5.8*t-2.9*t

15.1= 2.9*t

t = 15.1 / 2.9

t= 5.2 s

We replace t= 5.2 s in the equation (1)

a= -5.8/5.2

a= -1.115 m/s²

(a) Calculation of the  frictional force (Ff)

We apply Newton's second law

∑F = m*a    Formula (3)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Look at the free body diagram of the  hockey puck in the attached graphic

∑Fx = m*a     m= 115g * 10⁻³ Kg/g = 0.115g    ,  a= -1.12 m/s²

-Ff = 0.115*(-1.115)  We multiply by (-1 ) on both sides of the equation

Ff = 0.128 N

(b) Calculation of the coefficient of friction (μk)

N: Normal Force (N)

W=m*g= 0.115*9.8= 1.127 N : hockey puck  Weight

g: acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s²

∑Fy = 0

N-W=0

N = W

N =  1.127 N

μk = Ff/N

μk = 0.128/1.127

μk = 0.1135
