Answer:

v = -10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of asteroid,v' = 100 m/s

mass of superman = m

mass of asteroid,M = 1000 m

recoil velocity of superman,v= ?

using conservation of momentum.

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

initial velocity of asteroid and superman is equal to  zero

 0 + 0 = m v + 1000 m x 100

m v = -100000 m

    v = -10⁵ m/s

superman's velocity after throwing the asteroid is equal to v = -10⁵ m/s

A spherical snowball is melting in such a way that its diameter is decreasing at a rate of 0.3cm per minute. At what rate in cub
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: 12.15π cm³/min

Explanation:

Given,

Diameter, d = 9 cm

Volume of a sphere, v = 4/3.π.r³

dD/dt = -0.3 cm/min (the negative sign is because it is decreasing)

Volume = 4/3.π.(d/2)³

Volume = 4/3.π.(d³/8)

Volume = 1/3.π.(d³/2)

Volume = 1/6.π.d³

dV/dt = 1/2.π.d².(dD/dt), substituting the value of dD/dt onto this, we have

dV/dt = 1/2.π.9².(-0.3)

dV/dt = 1/2.π.81.-0.3

dV/dt = 1/2.π.-24.3

dV/dt = -12.15π cm³/min

Thus, the volume of the snowball is changing at 12.15π cm³/min

How to find out the heat capacity of a material?​
DochEvi [55]

\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C  \triangle   T}

\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}

\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}

\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}

\leadsto When the \bm{heat} is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in \bm{temperature} , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Only electrons

Explanation:

When a current flows through a metal wire, the moving charges are electrons since electric current is the flow of electric charge in an electric circuit. This electric charge are therefore electrons.
