Physics
1 answer:
Trava [24]3 years ago
6 0

The answer is:


1. Cure disease

2. Improve livelihoods

3. Understand nature and themselves.


1. Disease has plagued humans since the first man. Therefore, man has always used science to seek a cure for any emerging disease such as cancer today

2. Humans use science to improve livelihoods such as means of faster traveling and increasing yields in the fields

3. Science has been used to understand humans and the environment in which they live. This is evident with the numerous scientific probes that explore the earth and space collecting and analyzing data.

A cylinder that is 20 cm tall is filled with water. If a hole is made in the side of the cylinder 5 cm below the top level, how
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

See description

Explanation:

This is an example where we need Tornicelli's law, which states that the horizontal speed of a fluid that starts falling from an orifice is the same speed that an object acquires from free-falling.

v = \sqrt{2gh}

we are given:

h_{cilinder} = 0.2 [m]\\h = 0.05 [m]\\d=0.15[m]

the horizontal velocity of the water at the start is:

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(0.05)}=0.989949 [m/s]=1[m/s]

now we need to find the time for the water drops to fall d:

as the gravity is the only force interacting with the water we have:

y(t) = \frac{1}{2} g*t^2

replace for y = d

0.15 = \frac{1}{2} g*t^2=>t=\sqrt{\frac{2*0.15}{9.8}}=0.1749[s]

now that we have t we notice that there are no horizontal forces interacting with the water, so the horizontal position is given by:

x(t)=v*t

Finally, we replace v and t:

x(2.45) = 1*0.1749 = 0.1749 [m]=17.49[cm]

A coffee filter of mass 1.4 grams dropped from a height of 4 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.9 m/s. How much kinetic ener
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The kinetic energy gained by the air molecules is 0.054313 J.                      

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a coffee filter, m = 1.4 g

Height from which it is dropped, h = 4 m

Speed at ground, v = 0.9 m/s

Initially, the coffee filter has potential energy. It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\P=1.4\times 10^{-3}\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 4\ m\\\\P=0.05488\ J

Finally, it will have kinetic energy. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.4\times 10^{-3}\times (0.9)^2\\\\E=0.000567\ J

The  kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is :

E=0.000567-0.05488=0.054313\ J

So, the kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is 0.054313 .

An ice-skater with a mass of 80kg is holding a bowling ball with a mass of 8 kg. Suppose that the skater tosses the bowling ball
musickatia [10]

Answer:

0.6 m/s

Explanation:

The details of the masses and velocities are;

The mass of the ice skater, m₁ = 80 kg

The mass of the ball, m₂ = 8 kg

The speed with which the skater tosses the ball forward, v₂ = 6 m/s

Therefore;

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m₁·v₁ = m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The skater's reactive velocity

Therefore, we get;

80 kg × v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s

v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s/(80 kg) = 0.6 m/s

The skater's reactive velocity, v₁ = 0.6 m/s.

Define newton's first law and provide an example​
Lynna [10]

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Explanation:

When an athlete tries to stop his career, it takes several meters to stop completely, due to the inertia produced.

When trying to push a car, at first it is very difficult, because, due to inertia, the car tends to remain still.  But once it is put into motion, the effort is much less to be done, since then inertia causes it to keep moving.

What is the power through a device with a resistance of 100 ohms if a current of 8 A is running through it?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

6400 W (or) 6.4 KW

Explanation:

Formula we use,

→ P = I²R

Let's solve for the power of device,

→ P = I²R

→ P = (8)² × 100

→ P = 64 × 100

→ [ P = 6400 W ]

Hence, the power is 6400 W.
