In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.42 m. The mug

slides off the counter and strikes the floor 2.00 m from the base of the counter. (a) With what velocity did the mug leave the counter? m/s (b) What was the direction of the mug's velocity just before it hit the floor? °

Answer:

a) V_{x}=3.72m/s, b) ∠=-54.83°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must start with a drawing of the situation, this will help us visualize the problem better. (See picture attached).

a)

Now, the idea is that the beer mug has a horizontal speed and no vertical speed at initial conditions. So knowing this, we can start finding the initial velocity of the mug.

In order to do so, we need to find the time it takes for the mug to reach the ground. We can find it by using the following equation:

y=y_{0}+V_{y0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}

We can see from the drawing that y and the initial velocity in y are zero, so we can simplify our formula:

0=y_{0}+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}

so we can solve for t, so we get:

t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)y_{0}}{a}}

so now we can substitute the known values, so we get:

t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)(1.42)}{-9.8}}

which yields:

t=0.538s

So we can use this value to find the velocity in x:

V_{x}=\frac{x}{t}

When substituting we get:

V_{x}=\frac{2m}{0.538s}

which yields:

V_{x}=3.72m/s

b)

In order to solve part b, we need to find the y-component of the velocity, for which we can use the following formula:

\Delta y=\frac{V_{f}^{2}-V_{0}^{2}}{2a}

We know that V_{0} is zero, so we can simplify the expression:

\Delta y=\frac{V_{yf}^{2}}{2a}

So we can solve the equation for V_{yf}^{2} so we get:

V_{yf}=\sqrt{2\Delta y a}

and when substituting the known values we get:

V_{yf}=\sqrt{2(-1.42m)(-9.8m/s^{2})}

which yields:

V_{yf}=-5.28m/s

Once we got the final velocity in y, we can use it together with the velocity in x to find the angle.

So we can use the following formula:

tan \theta =\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}}

when solving for theta we get:

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}})

We can substitute so we get:

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.28m/s}{3.72m/s})

which yields:

\theta = -54.83^{o}

Explain how we measure temperatures in our daily lives.
AnnyKZ [126]

Many devices have been invented to accurately measure temperature. It all started with the establishment of a temperature scale. This scale transformed the measurement of temperature into meaningful numbers.

In the early years of the eighteenth century, Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) created the Fahrenheit scale. He set the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees. These two points formed the anchors for his scale.


Later in that century, around 1743, Anders Celsius (1701-1744) invented the Celsius scale. Using the same anchor points, he determined the freezing temperature for water to be 0 degree and the boiling temperature 100 degrees. The Celsius scale is known as a Universal System Unit. It is used throughout science and in most countries.


There is a limit to how cold something can be. The Kelvin scale is designed to go to zero at this minimum temperature. The relationships between the different temperature scales are:



oK = 273.15 + oC        oC = (5/9)*(oF-32)        oF = (9/5)*oC+32


 oF oC oK

Water boils 212 100 373

Room Temperature 72 23 296

Water Freezes 32 0 273

Absolute Zero -460 -273 0

At a temperature of Absolute Zero there is no motion and no heat. Absolute zero is where all atomic and molecular motion stops and is the lowest temperature possible. Absolute Zero occurs at 0 degrees Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius or at -460 degrees Fahrenheit. All objects emit thermal energy or heat unless they have a temperature of absolute zero.


If we want to understand what temperature means on the molecular level, we should remember that temperature is the average energy of the molecules that composes a substance. The atoms and molecules in a substance do not always travel at the same speed. This means that there is a range of energy (the energy of motion) among the molecules. In a gas, for example, the molecules are traveling in random directions at a variety of speeds - some are fast and some are slow. Sometimes these molecules collide with each other. When this happens the higher speed molecule transfers some of its energy to the slower molecule causing the slower molecule to speed up and the faster molecule to slow down. If more energy is put into the system, the average speed of the molecules will increase and more thermal energy or heat will be produced. So, higher temperatures mean a substance has higher average molecular motion. We do not feel or detect a bunch of different temperatures for each molecule which has a different speed. What we measure as the temperature is always related to the average speed of the molecules in a system

Which is not part of nuclear chemistry? A. Strong nuclear force B. Double-replacement reactions C. Radioactivity D. Nuclear deca
ziro4ka [17]

The correct choice is

B. Double-replacement reactions

in this type of reaction , two ionic compounds react and swaps their cations or anions giving two new compounds in the product. hence the double replacement reactions does not deal with the nucleus. all other terms like strong nuclear forces, radioactivity and nuclear decay deal with the nucleus.

What is the relationship between power and voltage
FrozenT [24]

Answer

Voltage is how fast the electrons flow. Power is a use of voltage times the volumes of electrons. The higher the voltage the more power you have with the same current.
