Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

During an avalanche, the gravitational potential

energy of the snow on the mountain is converted into

kinetic energy as the snow cascades down.

The potential energy stored by the snow collected high in the mountain under the gravitational field created by our Earth, breaks loose and as it comes down acquiring velocity, it is converted into kinetic energy due to its accelerated motion

A water balloon is thrown at 20 m/s from the top of a 20 m high building, what is its speed when it hits the ground? Does the an

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The final velocity is 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle of projection matters

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water balloon, u = 20 m/s

height of the building, h = 20 m

let the final speed of the ball when it hits the ground = v

The final speed is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = (20)² + 2(9.8)(20)

v² = 400 + 392

v² = 792

v = √792

v = 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle matters, if the balloon had been dropped at a certain angle, the final velocity would have been estimated using the following formula;

$v_y^2 = u_y^2 sin^2(\theta) + 2gh_y$

where;

θ is the angle of projection, which accounts for the vertical component of the velocity.

Why is magnesium the limiting reactant in this experiment

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium is being oxidized by the oxygen in the air to magnesium oxide. This is a highly exothermic combustion reaction, giving off intense heat and light. The reaction of the combustion of magnesium in oxygen is given below:

2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)

The stoichiometric factor is 2 moles of magnesium are burned for every 1 mole of oxygen (2mol Mg/1mol O2). If the magnesium strip weighs 1 gram, then there is 0.04 mol of magnesium (1 gram divided by 24.3 grams/mol Mg) available in the reaction. The amount of oxygen required to completely react with the magnesium strip is:

0.04 mol Mg x (1 mol O2 / 2 mol Mg) = 0.02 mol O2 x 16 g/mol O2 = 0.32 gram O2.

The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.

Which organism in the food web above is sometimes a first-level consumer and sometimes a second-level consumer?Explain

scoray [572]

The answer is: Mouse/Herbivore.

First organism is always a producer (plant) such as grass.
The 2nd organism is the first level or primary consumer. Ex. Mouse - It eats the producer, so it is a herbivore.

Elis [28]

Answer:

(a) 25 m

(b) 75 m

Explanation:

Given that the jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds.

So, the speed of the jogger,
