The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.

Answer: The correct answer is (c).

Explanation:

Thermometer is a device which measures the temperature.

Temperature is a measures of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance. It measures how the hot or cold an object is.

In the given problem, a thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. When the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases then the thermometer shows the drop in the temperature.

When the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases then the thermometer shows the rise in the temperature.

Therefore, the correct option is (c).

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2
MArishka [77]
From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
                = 2×9.81×0.43
                = 8.4366
            u = √8.4366
               =2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
 Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
              = 2.905/9.81
              = 0.296 seconds

(c) A moving train has a kinetic energy of 8.1 x 10(power of 6)J.
tamaranim1 [39]

the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Friction force is the force that opposes the motion between two bodies in contact.

To calculate the average friction force provided by the brakes, we apply the formula below.

Formula:

  • K.E = F'd............. Equation 1

Where:

  • K.E = Kinetic energy of the train
  • F' = Friction force provided by the brakes
  • d = distance

Make F' the subject of the equation

  • F' = K.E/d............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • K.E = 8.1×10⁶
  • d = 270 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • F' = (8.1 ×10⁶)/270
  • F' = 30000 N

Hence, the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N
