Answer:

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

Explanation:

Find:

Mass of water (M) = 200 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15°C

Specific heat of water (C) = 1 cal/g°C

Find:

Heat energy required (Q) = ?

Computation:

Q = M × ΔT × C

Heat energy required (Q) = Mass of water (M) × Change in temperature (ΔT) × Specific heat of water (C)

Heat energy required (Q) = 200 g × 15°C × 1 cal/g°C

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: $x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m$ .

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

Which of these words describes humans

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Human are eurkaryotic. Eukaryotes are organisms that have cells with a nucleus. Prokayotes are cells without a nucleus. Protists are eukaryotic but they are usually single cellular. Also, human are not fungus. Fungus cannot move and have to get food from its surrounding area.

Homer Agin leads the Varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, Homer hit a 34.5 m/s sinking curve ball head on, sending it of

Aneli [31]

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.

Is (kr) an element a compound or a mixture?

Xelga [282]

Krypton ... symbol Kr ... is an element. It's element number 36, because
there are 36 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Krypton.

Krypton has nothing to do with Superman, except that about 75 years ago,
the creators of Superman thought it was a cool-sounding scientific word,
so they chose it for the name of his home planet.
