Answer:

We can easily find out the beginning point of the line by using dot representation. When it comes to position vector, it expresses the exact position of certain object from the starting point of the coordinate system. The vector is a straight line that has a certain end which is fixed to its body

If all this energy is added to 50 kg of water (the amount of water in a 165-lb person) at 37 ∘C, what is the final state of the

Reika [66]

Answer:

Vapors

Explanation:

We take into account that all the energy from the lightning has been transformed into steam.

$\Delta U = Q - W\\Q = mC \Delta T\\Q = mL$

We calculate the amount of energy required by water to convert into steam.

$Q_{water} = 50 \times \times 4180 \times (100-37)\\= 1.132 \times 10^7 \ J$

$Q_{change\ to\ steam} = 50 \times 2.256 \times 106 \\= 1.128 \times 10^8 \ J$

$Q_{total} = 1.132 \times 10^7 + 1.128 \times 10^8\\= 1.126 \times 10^8 \ J$

From the lightning we received $10^{10} \ J$ of energy, out of which $1.126 \times 10^8$ has been used to convert the water into steam.

Energy left = $10^{10} - 1.126 \times 10^8 = 9.88 \times 10^9 \ J$

We use this energy to convert steam into vapors.

$Q = \Delta E$

$Q = \Delta E = mc (T_{f} - T{i})\\T_{f} = \frac {\Delta E}{mc} + T_{i}\\ \\T_{f} = 100 + \frac{9.88 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1970}\\T_{f} = 100 + 10^8\\T_{f} = 10 ^{ \ 8} \ {^ \circ } C$

With this temperature, we can easily interpret that the vapors will be dissociated in hydrogen and oxygen particles.

Explain the following observations:

Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

Consider two carts, of masses m and 2m, at rest on an air track. if you first push one cart for 3 s and then the other for the s

Marrrta [24]

F = m₁ a₁ = m₂ a₂

if m₁ = m and m₂ = 2m :

F = ma₁ = 2m a₂ ⇒ a₁ = 2 a₂

since v = at + v₀ with t = 3, v₀ = 0 ⇒ v = 3a:

v₁ = 2 v₂

since p = vm with v₁ = 2v and v₂ = v :

p₁ = v₁m₁ = 2v ⁻ m
p₂ = v₂m₂ = v ⁻ 2m

p₁ = p₂

Answer:

$\theta \approx 59.036^{\circ}$ , $T_{2} \approx 23.324\,N$

Explanation:

First we build the Free Body Diagram (please see first image for further details) associated with the mass, we notice that system consist of a three forces that form a right triangle (please see second image for further details): (i) The weight of the mass, (ii) two tensions.

The requested tension and angle can be found by the following trigonometrical and geometrical expressions:

$\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{W}{T_{2}}$ (1)
