Answer: C. Remaining liquid over a wide temperature range

Explanation: Water has a high specific heat i.e it requires a large amount of heat to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water through $1^0C$ . This is because the molecules of water are associated through strong hydrogen bonds.

It is also an universal solvent as it can dissolve most of the substances in it due to its high dielectric constant.

The freezing point of water is $0^0C$ , that is liquid water converts to solid form at $0^0C$ and the boiling point of water is $100^0C$ , that is liquid water converts to gaseous form at $100^0C$ . Thus it can remain in liquid form over the temperature range of $0^0C$ to $100^0C.$

Water has a high surface tension as the molecules of water are held together by strong hydrogen bonds.

Sasha lifts a couch 8.2 meters from the ground floor of her house to the attic. If the couch has a mass of 120 kg, what is the g

gavmur [86]

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

$U = mgH$

here we have

m = mass = 120 kg

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

h = height = 8.2 m

now from above formula

$U = 120kg (9.81 m/s^2) (8.2 m)$

$U = 9653.04 J$

so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch

Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters

amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

$a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)$

$a = 7.36 m/s^2$

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

$y = 10 m$

now by kinematics we have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2$

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

now the distance moved by it

$x = v_x t$

$x = 24.5 (1.65)$

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

final velocity in Y direction

$v_y = v_i + at$

$v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)$

$v_y = 12.14 m/s$

now magnitude of velocity is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}$

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}$

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$
