Answer: the golf ball with smooth surface would hit the ground first.


Jusitification:


An analysis of forces show two vertical forces acting on the golf balls.


1) one force is the weight (mg) which is vertical downward


2) the other force is the drag force exerted by the air on the golf balls, and it is vertical upward.


3) the drag force opposes the weight, so the acceleration downward is determined by the difference of the weiight and the drag force, until the balls reach the terminal speed (when the drag force equals the weight).


4) the drag force depends on the shape and area of the object falling. Being the surface of one ball smooth implies that the drag force will be less than the one on the other ball.


5) less drag force implies that the terminal velocity of the smooth ball will he higher, ant then it will hit the ground first.

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.
kaheart [24]

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be  372.77 m/s

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.

For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula

V= √F/μ

where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string

F is the tension in the string of piano

μ is the mass per unit length of the string

As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be

μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)

μ = 0.0041739 kg/m

By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity

V= √F/μ

V=√(580/0.0041739)

V =  372.77 m/s

Thus,  the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be  372.77 m/s

What is the density of a block with a mass of 36 g and a volume of 9 cm3?.
pshichka [43]
Density= how much mass is in a certain volume 
Therefore, you do (mass/volume).
density of the block is
36g/9cm3
or
4g/cm3
Meaning that there is 4 grams of mass in each cm3.

A sample of copper with a mass of 1.80 kg, initially at a temperature of 150.0°C, is in a well-insulated container. Water at a t
user100 [1]

Answer:

the mass of water is 0.3 Kg

Explanation:

since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:

Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Q water = - Q copper

since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature

and denoting w as water and co as copper :

m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) =  m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)

m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C

if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)

m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

m w= 1.80 kg *  0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))

m w= 0.3 kg

A 5.00 g bullet traveling 355 m/s is stopped by lodging in the side of a building. The heat produced is shared between the build
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bullet m=5\ gm

speed of bullet v=355\ m/s

bullet is stopped by building and heat produced is shared between building and bullet

Kinetic Energy of bullet is converted into Thermal energy

Kinetic Energy of bullet K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K=0.5\times 5\times 10^{-3}\times (355)^2

K=315.06\ J

So 315.06 J of Energy is converted in to thermal energy
