Derek designed an experiment to demonstrate interactions between Earth systems. He cleared a patch of land in his backyard and p

oured a glass of water from a height of 12 inches above the ground. A depression was formed on the land at the spot where the water hit the ground. What does Derek's experiment best demonstrate?

Derek's experiment best demonstrates the effects of gravity, that force made the water go down and  hit the ground, the effect of that was a depression.

The definition of Hydrosphere is all the water of earth surface, so the water represents Hydrosphere.

The definition of Geosphere is the surface of Earth, when the water fell down and touched the ground it caused an interaction between Hydrosphere and Geosphere.

A boxer can hit a heavy bag with great force. Why can't he hit a piece of tissue paper in midair with the same amount of force?
12345 [234]

Answer:

This is due to impulse

Explanation:

Impulse equal to mΔv and FΔt

You can set these equal as mΔv = FΔt

When a boxer punches a tissue, it is like punching a cushion or a pillow. The time that the hit takes is much grater than if they were to hit something solid. In addition, the change in velocity of the boxer's arm would be much greater when they hit a punching bag. In this equation, the greater the time, the less force that is needed.

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²

s = 0 + 0(15) + ½(6)(15²)

s = 675 m

Not sure what the free fall acceleration is needed for, but if the object is dropped from a high enough point, it will travel in 15 seconds

s = ½10(15²) = 2250 m  if air resistance is ignored

Question 2
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Approximately 73\; {\rm N}, assuming that the acceleration of this ball is constant during the descent.

Explanation:

Assume that the acceleration of this ball, a, is constant during the entire descent.

Let x denote the displacement of this ball and let t denote the duration of the descent. The SUVAT equation x = (1/2)\, a\, t^{2} would apply.

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for the acceleration, a, of this ball:

\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{2\, x}{t^{2}}\end{aligned}.

Note that x = 11\; {\rm m} and t = 1.5\; {\rm s} in this question. Thus:

\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{2\, x}{t^{2}} \\ &= \frac{2 \times 11\; {\rm m}}{(1.5\; {\rm s})^{2}} \\ &\approx 9.78\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this ball. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, if the acceleration of this ball is a, the net external force on this ball would be m\, a.

Since m = 7.5\; {\rm kg} and a \approx 9.78\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, the net external force on this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} (\text{net force}) &= m\, a \\ &\approx 7.5\; {\rm kg} \times 9.78\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} \\ &\approx 73\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} \\ &= 73\; {\rm N} && (1\; {\rm N} = 1\; {\rm kg \cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}) \end{aligned}.

the current flowing in an appliance connected to a 120V source is 2A. How many kilowatt-hours of electrical energy does the appl
skad [1K]

Answer:

0.96 kWh

Explanation:

First of all, we can find the power of the appliance using the formula:

P=VI

where

V = 120 V is the voltage of the source

I = 2 A is the current

Substituting,

P(120 V)(2 A)=240 W = 0.24 kW

Now we want to find the amount of energy used by the applied in a time of

t = 4 h

The amount of energy is given by

E=Pt

where

P = 0.24 kW

t = 4 g

Substituting,

E=(0.24 kW)(4 h)=0.96 kWh
