A speed boat travels from the dock to the first buoy a distance of 20 meters in 18 seconds it began the trip at a speed of 0 m/s
Lunna [17]

Answer:

1.11 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the boat is an example of accelerated motion, since the velocity is not constant. However, we don't need to find the acceleration, because we are only interested in the average velocity of the boat, which is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the total distance covered and t the time taken. In this problem, the boat covered a distance of d = 20 m and it takes t = 18 s, therefore the average velocity is

v=\frac{20 m}{18 s}=1.11 m/s

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

The pirate ship tie at the amusement park is a giant pendulum that riders sit in. It swings back and forth, with a maximum veloc
kkurt [141]

Here as we know that there is no loss of energy

so we can say that maximum kinetic energy will become gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So here we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

here we have

v = 20 m/s

m = 8000 kg

now from above equation we have

\frac{1}{2}(8000)(20^2) = (8000)(9.8)h

h = \frac{200}{9.8)

h = 20.4 m

so maximum height is 20.4 m

A 403.0-kg copper bar is melted in a smelter. The initial temperature of the copper is 320.0 K. How much heat must the smelter p
aleksklad [387]
The answer is 2.49 x 10^5 KJ. This was obtained (1) use the formula for specific heat to achieve Q or heat then (2) get the energy to melt the copper lastly (3) Subtract both work and the total energy required to completely melt the copper bar is achieved.
