Answer:

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J

(c) Q= -4.26×10⁴J

Explanation:

Given that student does 1.20×10⁴J work

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

Work done by student,so positive sign

During the process, his internal energy decreases by 5.46×10⁴J.

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J.

As the Energy decreases therefore negative sign

For (c) Q

We know the formula

Q=W+U\\Q=1.2*10^{4}+(-5.46*10^{4} )\\ Q=-4.26*10^{4}J

How much time does it take a person to walk 12km north at the velocity at a velocity of 6.5 km/hrs?
alukav5142 [94]

"6.5 km/hr" is not a velocity.  It's just a speed, so
we don't know what direction he's walking.

If he happens to be walking north, then it takes him

               (12 km) / (6.5 km/hr)  =  1.846... hours  (rounded) .

If he's walking in any other direction, it takes him longer than that.

If the angle between north and the direction he's walking is
90 degrees or more, then he can never cover any northward
distance, no matter how long he walks.

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon
Katarina [22]

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}

force of gravity = - mg

F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}

                        = \dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg

                        = m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)

                        =9 x 29.067

                        = 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N

For a conclusion to be accepted by the scientific community, the data must be accurate, free from error, and
Setler79 [48]
The data must be reproducible: it means that the data will be reliable and representative and not that this data would lead to one conclusion and another data would lead to another.

Data being varied, unique or surprising does not have anything to do with acceptability of the conclusion.
