A skier is gliding down a slope at a constant speed. what energy transformation is taking place?

1 answer:

7 0

In this process, gravitational potential energy is converting into heat/thermal energy.

In fact, the skier starts at a certain height h, so it has gravitational potential energy equal to
$U=mgh$
as he slides down, he loses this energy. However, the problem says that the speed of the skier remains constant during the motion, so this energy is not converting into kinetic energy, which remains constant. The only possibility is that a frictional force between the skier and the ice is acting on the skier. When the friction acts, the energy of the skier is converted into motion of the molecules of the ice, heating it, so into thermal energy.

The object that represents an uncharged molecule is : Image C
The object the will not move when in an electric fied is : Image C

<h3>Different types of charges molecules</h3>

A negatively charged molecule move inwards when placed in an electric field while positively charged molecule placed in a electric field will move outwards the electric field.

A neutral/uncharged molecule will remains still when placd in an elctric field due to the absence of charges.

ou are out stargazing with your 13.4-cm telescope. You point your telescope at an interesting formation in the sky, which you th

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

θ = 4.716 10⁻⁶ rad

Explanation:

In order for the releases to be considered separate, they must meet the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that the maximum diffraction of one star must coincide with the first minimum of the diffraction pattern of the second star.

We use the diffraction equation for a slit

a sin θ = m λ

The minimum occurs at m = 1

sin θ = λ / a

Since the angles in these systems are very small, we can approximate the sine to its angle in radians

θ = λ / a

The telescope has a circular aperture whereby polar cords should be used, which introduces a constant number

θ = 1.22 λ / a

Let's calculate

θ = 1.22 518 10⁻⁹ / 13.4 10⁻²

θ = 4.716 10⁻⁶ rad

To make 2 molecules of water, you need 2 molecules of hydrogen plus 1 molecule of oxygen. If I have unlimited amounts of oxygen

Semenov [28]

Hey there,

So first we need to know how much molecules are there in 4 grams of hydrogen right?
In one gram of hydrogen there are 6.0221415 multiplied by 10^25 molecules right?(this number is known as avagadors constant )

And to make one molecule of water u need two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen.
And oxygen is unlimited right?

So when we have 6.0221415 grams of hydrogen tow if these are required to make one water.
So divide that by two and you get 3.0110704 multiplied by 10^25.
So the answer is you can make the above number of water molecules.

Hope this helps!!!

If the temperature at the surface of Earth (at sea level) is 100°F, what is the temperature at 2000 feet if the average lapse ra

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

107 °F

Explanation:

Given that

The temperature at sea level = 100°F

height ,h= 2000 feet

The average lapse rate = 3.5°F/1000 feet

Given that rise in temperature 3.5°F per 1000 feet.

1000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F

Given that 2000 feet

2000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F x 2 +100°F

2000 feet ⇒ 107 °F

Therefore the temperature will be 107 °F .
