One of the major forms of energy driving the water cycle is geothermal energy. Heat is responsible for warming up water, which in turn evaporates, and then again returns to Earth's surface in the form of rain.

Which of the following is the most accurate statement of the law of conservation of momentum?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Every option is correct except option C.

Option A is the most accurate statement of the law

Explanation:

C is incorrect because momentum of the SYSTEM is conserved and not necessarily that of the individual objects in the System.

For option B, momentum is a vector quantity but it does not describe the principal of conservation of momentum. Option D is also correct but does not state anything about the conservation of momentum.

The temperature of a sample of silver increased by 24.0 °C when 269 J of heat was applied. What is the mass of the sample?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

Explanation:

We have given heat required to raise the temperature of silver by 24°C is 269 J , so \Delta T=24^{\circ}C

Specific heat of silver = 0.240 J/gram°C

We have to find the mass of silver

We know that heat required is given by

Q=mc\Delta T, here m is mass, c is specific heat of silver and \Delta T is rise in temperature

So 269=m\times 0.240\times 24

m = 46.70 gram

So mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

A 1 200-kg car traveling initially at vCi 5 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back of a 9 000-kg truck moving i
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car, m₁ = 1200 kg

Initial velocity of the car, v_{Ci}=25\ m/s

Mass of truck, m₂ = 9000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, v_{Ti}=20\ m/s

After the collision, velocity of the car, v_{Cf}=18\ m/s

Let v is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision. The momentum of the system remains conversed.

initial\ momentum=final\ momentum

1200\ kg\times 25\ m/s+9000\ kg\times 20\ m/s=1200\ kg\times 18+9000\ kg\times v

210000-21600=9000\ kg\times v

v=20.93\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after the collision is 20.93 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

11. You sit at the outer rim of a Ferris wheel that rotates 2 revolutions per minute (RPM). What would your rotational speed be
aalyn [17]
If you are instead clinging to a position halfway from the center to the outer rim of the Ferris wheel, YOUR ROTATIONAL SPEED WILL STILL BE 2 REVOLUTION PER MINUTE.
This is because, every part of the wheel is moving with the same speed, so it does not matter where you sit on the wheel, the rotation per minute will still be the same. It is just like travelling inside a motor car, it does not matter whether you are sitting in the front passenger seat or at the back, the speed of the car remains the same.
