Internal energy cannot be transferred whereas, thermal energy is the energy due to temperature difference

Internal energy is the total potential and kinetic energies in a substance, and thermal energy is the part of internal energy that can be transferred to another substance. The answer on edge would be C.

A container of hydrogen gas has a volume of 2.3m³. What is the mass of hydrogen contained? The density of hydrogen = 90kg/m³.

Solnce55 [7]

Mass= volume x density
Mass= 90kg/m^3 x 2.3m^3

Therefore, Mass= 207 kg

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo

BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s$

We need to find $\frac{d\theta}{dt}$ when $x=8ft$

The equation that relates x and $\theta$ can be written as,

$\frac{x}{6} tan\theta$

$x = 6tan\theta$

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$

Replacing the value of the velocity

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta$

The value of $cos \theta$ could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

$cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}$

Define Dissociation and Ionization?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Dissociation- disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions, and identity.

Ionization- the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

v = 8.09 m/s

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the work done by the friction force plus the potential energy equals the change in the body's energy.

Let's calculate the energy

starting point. Higher

Em₀ = U = m gh

final point. To go down the slope

Em_f = K = ½ m v²

The work of the friction force is

W = fr L cos 180

to find the friction force let's use Newton's second law

Axis y

N - W_y = 0

N = W_y

X axis

Wₓ - fr = ma

let's use trigonometry

sin θ = y / L

sin θ = 11/110 = 0.1

θ = sin⁻¹ 0.1

θ = 5.74º

sin 5.74 = Wₓ / W

cos 5.74 = W_y / W

Wₓ = W sin 5.74

W_y = W cos 5.74

the formula for the friction force is

fr = μ N

fr = μ W cos θ

Work is friction force is

W_fr = - μ W L cos θ

Let's use the relationship of work with energy

W + ΔU = ΔK

-μ mg L cos 5.74 + (mgh - 0) = 0 - ½ m v²

v² = - 2 μ g L cos 5.74 +2 (gh)

v² = 2gh - 2 μ gL cos 5.74

let's calculate

v² = 2 9.8 11 - 2 0.07 9.8 110 cos 5.74

v² = 215.6 -150.16

v = √65.44

v = 8.09 m/s
