A4 kg bowling ball begins rolling down a at bowling alloy at 6 m/s . When it strikes the pins, it is estimated to be moving at 5

Paul [167]

Answer:

Energy lost due to friction is 22 J

Explanation:

Mass of the ball m = 4 kg

Initially velocity of ball v = 6 m/sec

So kinetic energy of the ball $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6^2=72J$

Now due to friction velocity decreases to 5 m/sec

Kinetic energy become

$KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 5^2=50J$

Therefore energy lost due to friction = 72 -50 = 22 J

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by $2.8^{o}C$ every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is $1.60\times 10^{5}kg$ will require

$0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ$

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

$\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s$

Which of the following accurately describes the behavior of water when subject to temperature change? A. The volume of water wil

nata0808 [166]

Choices 'C' and 'D' are both correct.

(Except in 'C', changing the temperature from 1°C to 3°C is not usually
described as 'cooling', and it's not the water's 'mass' that changes. But
water does contract in volume during that change.)

If a car goes down Lake at 30 miles per hour how far will it go in 0.25 hours?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

7.5 miles

Explanation:

0.25 hours=15minutes.

So you do

30 miles=60minutes
