A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho

ut rolling). The slope makes an angle θ with the horizontal. Using conservation of energy, find the maximum vertical height hmax to which the ball will climb.

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.
Neko [114]
In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1}  T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289}  =42.21 psi

How can we produce energy by turning a turbine?​
maw [93]
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

A 2.0 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expands isothermally from state a to state b, Pa = 600 Pa, Va = 3.0 m3, and Vb = 9.0 m3.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) Pb= 200 PA

b).work done= -3600 joules

c).3600joules

D).the system works under isothermal condition so no heat was transferred

Explanation:

2.0 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expands isothermally from state a to state b, Pa = 600 Pa, Va = 3.0 m3, and Vb = 9.0 m3.

a). PbVb= PaVa

Pb= (PaVa)/VB

Pb= (600*3)/9

Pb= 1800/9

Pb= 200 PA

b). work done= n(Pb-Pa)(Vb-Va)

Work done= 2*(200-600)(9-3)

Work done= -600(6)

Work done=- 3600 Pam³

work done= -3600 joules

C). Change in internal energy I the work done on the system

= 3600joules

D).the system works under isothermal condition so no heat was transferred

1. Cam Newton can sprint 40 meters in 5.79 seconds! How fast can he run?
Vesnalui [34]

This is a Physics question where we need to figure out how many meters Cam can run per second. To figure this out we divide the distance by the change in time.

40/5.79 = 6.9 meters per second approximately.
