You are rolling on a skateboard with a constant velocity of 12 m/s. As you are moving you toss a baseball straight up into the a

ir with a vertical speed of 25 m/s. How long will it take the ball to land back in your hand? How high will the ball go before it falls back down?

Ick! Word problems! They suck. Okay so first of all you want to narrow it dow the equation.


Step 1. What are the numbers? (In this case 12 m/s and 25 m/s)

Step 2. Are you multiplying, dividing? (In this case your dividing)

Step 3. Divide.

I hope that helps.

Grain is pouring into a silo to be stored for later use. Due to the friction between pieces of grain as they rub against each ot
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The electric force between them if the pieces of grain are 2 cm apart is 3.15\times 10^{-11}\textrm{ N}.

Explanation:

Given:

Charge on one grain, Q_{1}=6\times 10^{-10}\textrm{ C}

Charge on another grain, Q_{2}=2.3\times 10^{-15}\textrm{ C}

Separation between them, d=2\textrm{ cm}=0.02\textrm{ m}

Electric force acting between two charges Q_{1}\textrm{ and }Q_{2} separated by a distance d is given as:

F_{elec}=\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{d^2}

Where, k is Coulomb's constant equal to 9\times 10^9\textrm{ }Nm^2/C^2.

Now, plug in all the values and solve for F{elec}.

F{elec}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 6.0\times 10^{-10}\times 2.3\times 10^{-15}}{(0.02)^2}\\\\F_{elec}=3.15\times 10^{-11}\textrm{ N}

Therefore, the electric force between them if the pieces of grain are 2 cm apart is 3.15\times 10^{-11}\textrm{ N}.

What is the flow of energy from the falling water to the steam?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The flow of energy from falling water to the steam is;

a) Mechanical → Mechanical → Electrical → Thermal → Thermal

Explanation:

1) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water in the pipe before it falls possesses potential energy which it converts into kinetic energy as it falls from height

2) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water falling from the pipe stream unto the turbine wheel transfers its kinetic (mechanical) energy due to its motion on to the turbine wheel to give the wheel rotational motion

3) Mechanical → Electrical

The kinetic (mechanical) energy from the rotating turbine wheel is converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator which transported through the electrical circuit

4) Electrical → Thermal

The electrical energy from the electric current is then converted into thermal energy as the current passes through the resistors in the heating filament

5) Thermal → Thermal

The heated filament transfers thermal energy to the the water in the beaker by conduction which raises the temperature of the water such that as the water acquires more thermal energy it turns into steam

Therefore, we have the flow of energy from the falling water to steam as follows;

1) Mechanical 2) Mechanical 3) Electrical 4) Thermal 5) Thermal

How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?
lyudmila [28]
By looking at the acceleration of the object.
In fact, Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass m of the object and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma

So, when static friction is acting on the object, if the object is still not moving we know that all the forces are balanced: in fact, since the object is stationary, its acceleration is zero, and so the resultant of the forces (left term in the formula) must be zero as well (i.e. the forces are balanced).

A 5000kg car traveling at 40m/s crashes into a wall and comes to a complete stop in 10ms. What was the force on the wall?​
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

20,000,000 N

Explanation:

First find the acceleration:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 − 40 m/s) / 0.010 s

a = -4000 m/s²

Next use Newton's second law to find the force on the car:

F = ma

F = (5000 kg) (-4000 m/s²)

F = -20,000,000 N

According to Newton's third law, the force on the wall is equal and opposite the force on the car.

F = 20,000,000 N

what happens to the average molecular speed in an ideal gas if you triple the volume and keep the same temperature ?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

If you hold the temperature of an ideal gas constant, what happens to its volume when you triple the pressure? For T fixed, P is proportional to 1/V or V is proportional to 1/P. Tripling P reduces V to 1/3. ... If T is constant, the speeds of the average speeds and kinetic energy of the atomic particles remain constant.

I hope this helps!
