Answer:

It's important for scientists to know the properties of matter because all things are made up of matter. Each type of matter has different physical characteristics and scientists need to know and understand these characteristics to make calculations. The main phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The pole stores elastic potential energy when the pole is bent because its shape is change from its natural shape and it will want to go back to its original form, just like a spring or stretched elastic material.

Calculate the energy released by the electron-capture decay of 5727Co. Consider only the energy of the nuclei (ignore the energy

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

⁵⁷Co₂₇ + e⁻¹ = ²⁷Fe₂₆

mass defect = 56.936296 + .00055 - 56.935399

= .001447 u

equivalent energy

= 931.5 x .001447 MeV

= 1.3479 MeV .

= 1.35 MeV

energy of gamma ray photons = .14 + .017

= .157 MeV .

Rest of the energy goes to neutrino .

energy going to neutrino .

= 1.35 - .157

= 1.193 MeV.

A bowling ball is launched from the top of a building at an angle of 35° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 15 m/s. T

Mamont248 [21]

Let $y_0$ be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when $y=0$ after $t=2.9\,\mathrm s$ . Solve for $y_0$ :

$0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m$

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass

vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s$

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/ $Sec^{2}$

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u= 13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

$0^{2} = 13^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46$

a = -1.47 m/ $Sec^{2}$ (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/ $Sec^{2}$ (since same friction force is applied)

$v^{2} = 29^{2} - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S$

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m
