A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?

1 answer:

8 0

A classic puzzle...

She either kicked it at a wall exactly 10 foot in front of her, where the ball rebounded off the wall.

Or, she kicked the ball straight up, vertically, at a 90 degree angle, where due to the law of gravity, which states that anything that goes up must come down, when the soccer ball reaches exactly 10 feet, it falls back down.
(Note: This is nearly impossible to achieve -- exactly 10 feet.)

How much heat is evolved when 1234 g of water condenses to a liquid at 100.°c?

lbvjy [14]

During the phase transition vapour --> liquid water, the temperature of the water does not change; the molecules of water release heat and the amounf of heat released is equal to
$Q=mL_e$
where
m is the mass of the water
$L_e$ is the latent heat of evaporation.

For water, the latent heat of evaporation is $L=2257 kJ/kg$ , while the mass of the water is
$m=1234 g=1.234 kg$

so, the amount of heat released in the process is
$Q=mL_e = (1.234 kg)(2257 kJ/kg)=2785 kJ$

Which of the following provides evidence that earth is rotating? The sun rises and sets, The plane of a foucault pendulum appear

bagirrra123 [75]

The answer would be 'The plane of a Foucault pendulum appears to shift its orientation' because it is an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the earth.

Hope this helps.
