acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic? a. displacement b. position c. velocity d. time

How do you think scientists figure out what they think the population will be in 2050?

laila [671]

They would most likely use statistics on the increase/decrease in population from previous decades and centuries. In addition to these statistics, they could use the birth and death rate and ultimately predict the increase within these next 30 years. They must also take climate change and other environmental factors into consideration when formulating such a bold prediction.

Define potentiol energy , kenetic energy.

Pani-rosa [81]

Potential energy is stored energy. For example, if a bowling ball is on top of a giant hill, we say it has potential energy because it has the potential to do work which is to roll down the hill.

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement so once that ball rolls down that hill, that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

The melting point of potassium thiocyanate determined by a student in the laboratory turned out to be 174.5 oC. The accepted val

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|

= |174.5 - 173.2|

= |1.3|

Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100

= (1.3 / 173.2)×100

= 0.75 %

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%

A 46.8-g golf ball is driven from the tee with an initial speed of 58.8 m/s and rises to a height of 24.7 m. (a) Neglect air res

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

a) the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of golf ball m = 46.8 g = 0.0468 kg

initial speed of the ball v₁ = 58.8 m/s

height h = 24.7 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point = ?

from the conservation of energy;

Kinetic energy at the highest point will be;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEf + PEf

now the Initial potential energy of the ball P.Ei = 0 J

so

1/2mv² + 0 J = KEf + mgh

K.Ef = 1/2mv² - mgh

we substitute

K.Ef = [1/2 × 0.0468 × (58.8 )²] - [0.0468 × 9.8 × 24.7]

K.Ef = 80.904 - 11.3284

K.Ef = 69.58 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) when the ball is 8.11 m below the highest point, speed = ?

so our raw height h' will be ( 24.7 m - 8.11 m) = 16.59 m

so our velocity will be v₂

also using the principle of energy conservation;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEh + PEh

1/2mv² + 0 J = 1/2mv₂² + mgh'

1/2mv₂² = 1/2mv² - mgh'

multiply through by 2/m

v₂² = v² - 2gh'

v₂ = √( v² - 2gh' )

we substitute

v₂ = √( (58.8)² - 2×9.8×16.59 )

v₂ = √( 3457.44 - 325.164 )

v₂ = √( 3132.276 )

v₂ = 55.97 m/s

Therefore, its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

How many earths can fit on the moon

liberstina [14]

Hello My Dear Friend!

Do you mean Sun or actually Moon?

If Moon is what you're looking for...then that is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE, due to that the Earth is WAY bigger than the Moon, therefore, not even HALF of the Earth would fit into the Moon since it's too small XD.

But if it's Sun...well then, the Answer is that it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill up the Sun. That's a lot of Earths LOL XD

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in $Brainly.$ We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)
