Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.
Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).
At the start:
ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J
Answer:
0.625 c
Explanation:
Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.
In the context,
The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :
Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :
Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c
Answer:
The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg
Explanation:
Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water
Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C
To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.
Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C
Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg
Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C
Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m
Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J
543600 m = 36627.5
m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.
D. According to the hierarchy of needs the body and mind must be taken care of first and foremost.
