A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?​
morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.   As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.

A student measured the pH of four solutions. Which pH indicates the highest hydronium ion concentration? 3.2 7.0 9.1 12.4
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 3.2

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

pH=log\frac {1}{H_3O^+}

Thus as pH and H^+ are inversely related, a solution having lower pH will have more amount of H^+ concentration. And a solution having more pH will have less amount of H^+ concentration.

Thus the solution with lowest pH of 3.2 will have highest hydronium ion concentration.

Calculate the recoil speed of a 1.4 kg rifle shooting 0.006 kg bullets with muzzle speed of 800 m/a.3.43 m/s
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a) 3.43 m/s

Explanation:

Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the bullet - rifle system must be conserved.

The total momentum before the bullet is shot is zero, because they are both at rest, so:

p_i = 0

Instead the total momentum of the system after the shot is:

p_f = mv+MV

where:

m = 0.006 kg is the mass of the bullet

M = 1.4 kg is the mass of the rifle

v = 800 m/s is the velocity of the bullet

V is the recoil velocity of the rifle

The total momentum is conserved, therefore we can write:

p_i = p_f

Which means:

0=mv+MV

Solving for V, we can find the recoil velocity of the rifle:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.006)(800)}{1.4}=-3.43 m/s

where the negative sign indicates that the velocity is opposite to direction of the bullet: so the recoil speed is

a) 3.43 m/s

Explain how a ship made of materials that are much denser than water is able to float on water?
Helen [10]
It is because the weight is equal to each other and balances out. example war ships have tons of metal, but it spreads the weight on the water
