Answer:

look at explanation

Explanation:

If heat rises, then why is it so cold at the top of a mountain? Heat does indeed rise. More specifically, a mass of air that is warmer than the air around it expands, becomes less dense, and will therefore float atop the cooler air. ... So when warm air rises, it cools off.

There is a refrigerator running in a room, the heat flowing into the refrigerator from the outside is 40 J/s, and the refrigerat

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator $=heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec$

(b) Total heat absorbed =140 j/sec $=140\times 3600=504000j/hour$

Let the temperature be $\Delta T$

Heat absorbed per hour =504000 $[tex]=400\times 10^3\times \Delta T$

So $\Delta T=\frac{504000}{400000}=1.26K$

A football punter accelerates a .55 kg football

Ronch [10]

Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum of the football

$\Delta t=0.25 s$ is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we find the force exerted on the ball:

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N$
