Answer:

Total distance = 8.5 km

Explanation:

The question needs options for it to be answered properly. However, you should take note of the following explanation.

Distance is a scalar quantity and as such, it does not consider the object direction.

Having said that, the total distance moved by the train is calculated by adding up the distance moved in all directions.

i.e.

Total Distance = 5.2 km + 3.3 km

Total Distance = 8.5 km

Answer:

Final temperature, T2 = 314.9 Kelvin

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Mass = 0.9kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 10°C to Kelvin = 10 + 273 = 283K

Quantity of heat = 120,000 J

Specific heat capacity = 4182 j/kgK

To find the final temperature;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Making dt the subject of formula, we have;

dt = \frac {Q}{mc}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

dt = \frac {120000}{0.9*4182}

dt = \frac {120000}{3763.8}

dt = 31.9K

Now, the final temperature T2 is;

But, dt = T2 - T1

T2 = dt + T1

T2 = 31.9 + 283

T2 = 314.9 Kelvin

As a projectile falls, what happens to the components of velocity?
netineya [11]

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

An object when when projected at an angle, will have some horizontal velocity and vertical velocity such that,

v_x=v\cos\theta\ \text{and}\ v_y=v\sin\theta

\theta is the angle of projection

The horizontal component of the projectile remains the same because there is no horizontal motion. Vertical component changes at every point.

As a projectile falls, vertical velocity increases in magnitude, horizontal velocity stays the same .
