Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

(b) During one day, 250 kg of water is pumped through

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: The energy incident on the solar panel during that day is $9.24 \times 10^{7} J$ .

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 250 kg

Initial temperature = $16^{o}C$

Final temperature = $38^{o}C$

Specific heat capacity = 4200 $J/kg^{o}C$

Formula used to calculate the energy is as follows.

$q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})$

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity

$T_{1}$ = initial temperature

$T_{2}$ = final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$q = 250 kg \times 4200 J/kg^{o}C \times (38 - 16)^{o}C\\= 250 kg \times 4200 J/kg^{o}C \times 22^{o}C$

As it is given that water absorbs 25% of the energy incident on the solar panel. Hence, energy incident on the solar panel can be calculated as follows.

$\frac{25}{100} \times q = 250 kg \times 4200 J/kg^{o}C \times 22^{o}C\\q = 9.24 \times 10^{7} J$

Thus, we can conclude that the energy incident on the solar panel during that day is $9.24 \times 10^{7} J$ .

A hiker, caught in a rainstorm might absorb 1 liter of water in her clothing. if it is windy so that this amount of water is eva

NeTakaya

Water evaporates at 100⁰C

So change in temperature = 100-20 = 80⁰C

Amount of water to be evaporated = 1 liter = 1L*1kg/liter = 1 kg

Specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram ⁰C = 4.186 joule/gram =4186 J/kg

So heat required E = mcΔT = 1 * 4186 *80= 334880 J =334.88 kJ

So amount of heat require to evaporate water = 334.88 kJ

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

$mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f$

$V_1+3V_2=4V_f$ and making $V_f$ the subject then

$V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4}$ and since $V_1$ is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, $V_2$ is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and $v_f$ is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

$V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s$

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ$

Final kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ$

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J$

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)
