<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the one with the highest specific heat

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C or 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance.
<em><u>A metal with the highest specific heat will cause the greatest increase in temperature of water in a calorimeter because the metal would hold more heat, and then transfer the greater quantity of heat to the water.</u></em>

A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron

Ket [755]

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of astronaut

$v_2$ = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s$

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s$

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds

To win the game, a placekicker must kick a football from a point 44 m (48.1184 yd) from the goal, and the ball must clear the cr

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 44 m

Speed = 24 m/s

Angle = 31°

Height = 3.05 m

We need to calculate the horizontal velocity

Using formula of horizontal velocity

$u_{x}=u\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$u_{x}=24\cos(31)$

$u_{x}=20.5\ m/s$

We need to calculate the vertical velocity

Using formula of vertical velocity

$u_{y}=u\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$u_{y}=24\sin(31)$

$u_{y}=12.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{u_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{44}{20.5}$

$t=2.1\ sec$

We need to calculate the vertical height

Using equation of motion

$h=u_{y}t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put the value into the formula

$h=12.3\times2.1-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.1)^2$

$h=4.2\ m$

We need to calculate the distance by the ball clear the crossbar

Using formula for vertical distance

$d=h-3.05$

Put the value of h

$d=4.2-3.05$

$d=1.15\ m$

Hence, The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m
