Energy = mc (delta T) where m is the mass in kg, c is the specific heat capacity, and delta T is the change in temperature.

450 = (45x10^-3)c (78-22)

450 = (0.045)c (56)

c = 178.57 J/kgK

A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is $v = 2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed is $u = 2.05 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

$T__{E}} = KE__{i}} + KE__{e}}$

Here $KE_i$ is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * m * u^2$

=> $KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * m * (2.05 *10^{4})^2$

=> $KE_i = 2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J$

And $KE_e$ is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

$KE_e = \frac{1}{2} * m * v_e^2$

Here $v_e$ is the escape velocity from earth which has a value $v_e = 11.2 *10^{3} \ m/s$

=> $KE_e = \frac{1}{2} * m * (11.3 *10^{3})^2$

=> $KE_e = 6.272 *10^{7} \ \ m \ \ J$

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

$KE_p = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

$T__{E}} = KE_p$

So

$2.101 *10^{8} m + 6.272 *10^{7} m = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

=> $5.4564 *10^{8} = v^2$

=> $v = \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}$

=> $v = 2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s$

Communication with submerged submarines via radio waves is difﬁcult because seawater is conductive and absorbselectromagnetic wa

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

D. 4000 km

Explanation:

f = Frequency of wave that is being transmitted = 76 Hz

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of wave that is being transmitted

v = The velocity of electromagnetic waves through air = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Velocity of a wave is given by

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{76}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3947368.42105\ m=3947.36842105 km\approx 4000\ km$

Hence, the approximate wavelength of the waves is 4000 km

A car has a mass of 1.00 × 103 kilograms, and it has an acceleration of 4.5 meters/second2. What is the net force on the car?

aksik [14]

ANSWER

C. $F=4.5 \times10^3$ . newtons

EXPLANATION

According to Newton's second law,

$F_{net}=ma$ , where

$m=1.00\times 10^3kg$ is the mass measured in kilograms.

and

$a=4.5ms^{2}$ is the acceleration in metres per second square.

We substitute these values to obtain,

$F=1.00\times10^3 \times 4.5$ .

We rearrange to get,

$F=1.00\times4.5 \times10^3$ .

We multiply out the first two numbers and leave our answer in standard form to get,

$F=4.5 \times10^3 N$ .

The correct answer is C
