1. The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. Measuring the temperature increase of water from doing work by stirring it is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule.
2.  Joule's experiment directly shows that heat is a form of energy. He wanted to make a different way of measuring energy.

Answer 1: The correct answer is: 'measuring the temperature increase of water from doing work stirring it'.

Answer 2: The correct answer is :'Heat is a form of energy'.

Explanation:

In his experiment he took three fluids : water, oil, mercury in an insulating container with stirrer agitated in the fluid.

He measured the amount of work done by the rotating stirrer in the fluid and the temperature rise in the fluid due to the rotation of the stirrer was also observed.

From his observation he concluded that the heat possessed by the fluid and work done on the fluid is directly linked to each other. Which he put down is simple words "heat is a form of energy"

Answer:

Weight = 8.162 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.2 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 3.71 N/kg

To find the weight of the textbook;

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 2.2 * 3.71

Weight = 8.162 N

Therefore, the weight of the science textbook in mars is 8.162 Newton.

Christina drives his moped 7 kilometers North. She stops for lunch and then drives 5 kilometers East. What distance did she cove
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Christina drives his moped 7 kilometers North and stop for lunch and then drive 5 km east.

We need to calculate the total distance

Using formula of distance

d=d_{1}+d_{2}

Put the value into the formula

d=7+5

d=12\ km

We need to calculate the magnitude of displacement

Using formula of displacement

D=xi+yj

D=5i+7j

D=\sqrt{5^2+7^2}

D= 8.6\ km

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Hence, She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Q. At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most kinetic energy ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with  decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall

A driver with a 0.80-s reaction time applies the brakes, causing the car to have acceleration opposite the direction of motion.
jeka94

Answer:

a) During the reaction time, the car travels 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car travels 48 m before coming to stop

Explanation:

The equation for the position of a straight movement with variable speed is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x: position at time t

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

When the speed is constant (as before applying the brake), the equation would be:

x = x0 + v t

a)Before applying the brake, the car travels at constant speed. In 0.80 s the car will travel:

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 0.80 s = <u>21 m  </u>

b) After applying the brake, the car has an acceleration of -7.0 m/s². Using the equation for velocity, we can calculate how much time it takes the car to stop (v = 0):

v = v0 + a* t

0 = 26 m/s + (-7.0 m/s²) * t

-26 m/s / - 7.0 m/s² = t

t = 3.7 s

With this time, we can calculate how far the car traveled during the deacceleration.

x = x0 +v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 3.7 s - 1/2 * 7.0m/s² * (3.7 s)² = <u>48 m</u>
