A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?

Answer:

Concrete and Asphalt are much rougher surfaces and have a higher coefficient of friction because they generate more resistance to an object in motion. Ice has less friction and less energy is lost to heat, causing the puck to slide much further.

When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.

A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron
Ket [755]

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

m_2 = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

v_1 = Velocity of astronaut

v_2 = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds

4. How much work is done when you lift a 25 N box up to a 2 m shelf?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

<h2>50 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question

force = 25 N

distance = 2 m

We have

workdone = 25 × 2 = 50

We have the final answer as

<h3>50 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The answer would be 735J

Explanation:

PE=mgh

=(mass)(force of gravity)(height)

=(25kg)(9.8m/s^2)(3m)

=735J

We need to convert the given temperature to Kelvin. We need to add 273 to have the Kelvin of the temperature from Celsius.

T1= 20 + 273 = 293 K

T2= 120 + 273 = 393 K

With this we have the pressure ration of 393/293.

So,F120 = 1.34 APa
