Neglecting air, what speed does a rock thrown straight up have to be to reach the edge of our atmosphere: say 100 km? Still negl

ecting air, after the rock falls back down, what speed will it have just before it hits the earth? Assume constant gravity g = 10 m/s 2 for earth’s gravity.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of movement description, specifically those that allow us to find speed and acceleration as a function of distance and not time.

Mathematically we have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

Where,

v_{f,i} = Final velocity and Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

From the description given there is no final speed (since it reaches the maximum point) but there is a required initial speed that is contingent on traveling a certain distance under the effects of gravity

0 - v_i^2 = 2(9.8)(100*10^3)

v_i = 14*10^2m/s

Therefore the speed which must a rock thrown straight up is 14*10^2m/s to reach the edge of our atmosphere.

The displacement and gravity traveled are the same, therefore the final speed will be the same but in the opposite vector direction (towards the earth), that is 14 * 10 ^ 2m / s

Answer:D) His Facial expressions when they spend time together

 

Explanation:

Eva's should carefully observe the normal verbal signs by her lover because facial expression gives the hint to listener or viewer that one is interested towards other.

Some common facial Expression are

  • Smiling Eyes:While smiling is, of course, an important expression when we speak, attempting to keep a constant  smile could make you look more like a trained sociopath than a happy, enthusiastic presenter. These enables other person to feel the good vibes out of you and left a positive impact of your presence.
  • Nod on: It is important to express interest in the feedback of your audience. No one likes an identity-centered snob. One way to show that you're actually engaged in the comments and questions they pose is by nodding while you're listening. Moving your head a little wider will help to express your attention as well.

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.

A jeweler working with a heated 47 g gold ring must lower the ring's temperature to make it safe to handle. If the ring is initi
Gelneren [198K]

Mass of gold m₁ = 47 g

Initial temperature of gold T₁ = 99 C

Specific heat of gold C₁ = 0.129 J/gC

final temperature T₂ = 38 C

Heat needed by the gold to cool down

Q =m₁ * C₁* ( T₁ - T₂)

Q = (47)(0.129)(99-38)

Q = 369.843 J

This heat will be given by the water

we need to find out mass of water m₂

and initial temperature of water is T₃ = 25 C

Specific heat of water C₂ = 4.184 J/gC

Q = m₂*C₂*(T₂ - T₃)

369.843 = m₂(4.184)(38-25)

m₂ = 6.8 g
