A 1.5 kg bird is gliding at a height of 12 m with a speed of 3.8m/s. The kinetic energy of the bird is 10.83 joules.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as,The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that the object possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic energy can be calculated by using formula,

Kinetic Energy: KE = 1/2 (mv 2)

Where, m = Mass, v = Velocity.

Here in this case the bird mass is 1.5kg and is gliding with velocity 3.8m/s

hence, KE= 1/2*(1.5)×(3.8)^2

                   =0.5×1.5×3.8×3.8

                   =10.83Joules

notka56 [123]

Explanation:

A metal such as copper is a <u>conductor</u> because it provides a pathway for electric charges to move easily. A material such as rubber is an <u>insulator</u> because it <u>resists</u> the flow of electric charges. A material that partially conducts electric current is a <u>semiconductor</u>. These materials include <u>group 3 and group 5</u> elements.

k) A stream of warm water is produced in a steady-flow mixing process by combining 1.0 kg s-1of cool water at 25°C with 0.8 kg s
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

T_ww = 43,23°C

Explanation:

To solve this question, we use energy balance and we state that the energy that enters the systems equals the energy that leaves the system plus losses. Mathematically, we will have that:

E_in=E_out+E_loss

The energy associated to a current of fluid can be defined as:

E=m*C_p*T_f

So, applying the energy balance to the system described:

m_CW*C_p*T_CW+m_HW*C_p*T_HW=m_WW*C_p*T_WW+E_loss

Replacing the values given on the statement, we have:

1.0 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*25°C+0.8  kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*75°C=1.8 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*T_WW+30  kJ/s

Solving for the temperature Tww, we have:

(1.0 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*25°C+0.8 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*75°C-30 kJ/s)/(1.8 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C))=T_WW

T_WW=43,23 °C

Have a nice day! :D

A blue-green photon (λ = 488 nm ) is absorbed by a free hydrogen atom, initially at rest. What is the recoil speed of the hydrog
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The recoil speed is 2.207\times 10^{4} m/s

Solution:

Wavelength of a blue-green photon, \lambda_{BG} = 488 nm = 488\times 10^{- 9} m

Now, the energy associated with the blue-green photon:

E_{BG} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{BG}}

where

h = Planck's constant

C = speed of light ion vacuum

E_{BG} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{488\times 10^{- 9}}

E_{BG} = 4.07\times 10^{- 19} J

Also, we know that the recoil speed can be calculated by the KInetic energy which is equal to the Energy of the blue-green photon:

KE_{H} =\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{H}

where

v_{H} = velocity of Hydrogen atom

m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg = mass of H-atom

Now,

KE_{H} =\frac{1}{2}m_{p}(v_{H})^{2}

4.07\times 10^{- 19} =\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (v_{H})^{2}

v_{H} = \sqrt(4.87\times 10^{8}) = 2.207\times 10^{4} m/s
