a) Potential energy: 147 m [J]

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

U=mgh

where

m is its mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

In this problem,

h = 15 m

We call 'm' the mass of the ball, since we don't know it

So, the potential energy of the ball at the top of the hill is

U=(m)(9.8)(15)=147 m (J)

b) Velocity of the ball at the bottom of the hill: 17.1 m/s

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of friction all the potential energy of the ball is converted into kinetic energy as the ball reaches the bottom of the hill. Therefore we can write:

U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the final velocity of the ball

We know from part a) that

U = 147 m

Substituting into the equation above,

147 m = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

And re-arranging for v, we find the velocity:

v=\sqrt{2\cdot 147}=17.1 m/s

TRUE OR FALSE : Boyle’s law states that, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases.
sveta [45]

At first glance, this statement seems to be true.  But after about a
microsecond of further consideration, one realizes that the statement
would actually set Boyle spinning in his grave, and is false.

Boyle's law states that there is a firm relationship among the pressure,
temperature, and volume of an ideal gas, and that you can't say anything
about how any two of these quantities depend on each other, unless you
also say what's happening to the third one at the same time.

As the pressure of an ideal gas increases, the volume will decrease in
direct proportion to the volume, IF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS
REMAINS CONSTANT.

If you wanted to, you could increase the pressure AND the volume of an
ideal gas both at the same time.  You would just need to warm it enough
while you squeeze it.

How do i find the number of leptons in an atom??
Serjik [45]

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

Answer:

1. The density of the cube is 1.03 g/mL.

2. Dish soap

Explanation:

1. Determination of the density of the cube.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of cube = 21.7 g

Volume (V) of cube = 21 mL

Density (D) of cube =?

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume of the substance. Thus, density can be expressed mathematically as:

Density (D) = mass (m) / volume (V)

D = m / V

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the cube as follow:

Mass (m) of cube = 21.7 g

Volume (V) of cube = 21 mL

Density (D) of cube =?

D = m / V

D = 21.7 / 21

D = 1.03 g/mL

Thus, the density of the cube is 1.03 g/mL.

2. Determination of the layer of density the cube will settle in.

From the question given above,

Subtance >>>>>>>> Density

Vegetable oil >>>>> 0.91 g/mL

Grape juice >>>>>> 0.97 m/L

Water >>>>>>>>>>> 1 g/mL

Dish soap >>>>>>>> 1.03 g/mL

Maple syrup >>>>>> 1.37 g/mL

Comparing the density of the cube (i.e 1.03 g/mL) with those in the table able, we can conclude that the cube will settle in the DISH SOAP layer since they both have the same density.
