Answer:

The kinetic energy gained by the air molecules is 0.054313 J.                      

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a coffee filter, m = 1.4 g

Height from which it is dropped, h = 4 m

Speed at ground, v = 0.9 m/s

Initially, the coffee filter has potential energy. It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\P=1.4\times 10^{-3}\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 4\ m\\\\P=0.05488\ J

Finally, it will have kinetic energy. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.4\times 10^{-3}\times (0.9)^2\\\\E=0.000567\ J

The  kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is :

E=0.000567-0.05488=0.054313\ J

So, the kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is 0.054313 .

A block has a volume of 0.09 m3 and a density of 4,000 kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Density = (mass) / (volume)
4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)
(4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass
mass = 360 kg 
force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = (360 x 9.8)  kg-m<span>/s² </span><span>=   </span>3,528 newtons .

If the distance d (in meters) traveled by an object in time t (in seconds) is given by the formula d = A + Bt^2, the SI units of
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The SI units of the “A” is m (meters)

The SI units of the “B” is m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the distance = d meters.

Time taken to travel = t (seconds)

Function of the distance, d = A + Bt^2

Now we have given the above information and from the given distance function, we have to find the SI units of the A and B. Here, below are the SI units.

Thus, the SI units of the “A” is = m (meters)

The SI units of the “B” is = m/s^2
