Answer:

work = 1125 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember the definition of power, which is defined as the relationship between work and time. The power can be calculated using the following equation:

Power = work/time

Power = 12.5 [w]

work = joules [J]

time = 1.5 [min] = 90 [s]

work = 12.5*90

work = 1125 [J]

Drag each tile to the correct box. Arrange the steps in order to describe what happens to a gas when it cools. The particles of

vredina [299]

Answer:

Ok, as the gas starts to cool down, the kinetic energy of the particles starts to decrease, so the first thing that happens is:

"the gas loses thermal energy" (as the gas cools down, the temperature decreases, so it loses thermal energy)

Now, the kinetic energy must decrease, so now:

"the particles of gas move slower".

Then, as the particles start to move slower, they start to get closer to eachother, then we have:

"The space between the gas particles decreases."

As the particles start to get close to eachother, the density of the gas starts to increase, until a point where we get to the condensation point, here we have a change of phase and the gas changes to a liquid, so here we have:

"The gas changes to a liquid."

A ball is hit 1 meter above the ground with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If the ball is hit at an angle of 30 above the horizonta

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$t_t=4.131\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

height above the horizontal form where the ball is hit, $y=1\ m$

angle of projectile above the horizontal, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

initial speed of the projectile, $u=40\ m.s^{-1}$

Firstly we find the vertical component of the initial velocity:

$u_y=u.\sin\theta$

$u_y=40\times \sin30^{\circ}$

$u_y=20\ m.s^{-1}$

During the course of ascend in height of the ball when it reaches the maximum height then its vertical component of the velocity becomes zero.

So final vertical velocity during the course of ascend:

$v_y=0\ m.s^{-1}$

Using eq. of motion:

$v_y^2=u_y^2-2g.h$ (-ve sign means that the direction of velocity is opposite to the direction of acceleration)

$0^2=20^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

$h=20.4082\ m$ (from the height where it is thrown)

Now we find the time taken to ascend to this height:

$v_y=u_y-g.t$

$0=20-9.8t$

$t=2.041\ s$

Time taken to descent the total height:

we've total height, $h'=h+y$ $=20.4082+1$

$h'=u_y'.t'+\frac{1}{2} g.t'^2$

during the course of descend its initial vertical velocity is zero because it is at the top height, so $u_y'=0\ m.s^{-1}$

$21.4082=0+4.9t'^2$

$t'=2.09\ s$

Now the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground:

$t_t=t'+t$

$t_t=2.09+2.041$

$t_t=4.131\ s$

When water change into ice it contracts or expand plz answer fast..

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:Yes, water indeed expands when it changes form from liquid to solid. And this is because water has a property called “hydrogen bonds”, and these bonds occur between each water molecule. But when water is in a liquid form these hydrogen bonds break more easily and occur less frequently. When the temperature drops the kinetic energy also drops, which in turn makes hydrogen bonds form more frequently. So the water molecules form a lattice, which is less dense than regular liquid water.
