Answer:

The correct option is +9.81 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a vertical (up and down) plane depends on if the object is going up or down. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s/s or 9.81 m/s². When an object falls/comes down (vertically) without interference, the acceleration of such an object is same as acceleration due to gravity (+9.81 m/s²). However, when an object is thrown/goes up, the acceleration of such objects goes against the gravity (of earth) hence the acceleration is -9.81 m/s².

At the top/apex of a vertical up and down problem, the object will be pulled back down (because of gravity) and hence, it's acceleration becomes +9.81 m/s² (changing from negative while coming up to positive).

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Explanation:

Mass of rock = 25 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

Height = 42 m

Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN

The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Suppose you pour 0.250 kg of 20.0°C water into a 0.600 kg aluminum pan off the stove with a temperature of 173°C. Assume that th

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of water, $m_w=0.25\ kg$

initial temperature of water, $T_i_w=20^{\circ}C$

initial temperature of pan, $T_i_p=173^{\circ}C$

mass of pan, $m_p=0.6\ kg$

mass of water evapourated, $m_v=0.03\ kg$

specific heat of water, $c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of aluminium pan, $c_a=900\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

latent heat of vapourization, $L=2256000\ J.kg^{-1}$

Using the equation of heat:

Here, initially certain mass of water is vapourised first and then the remaining mass of water comes in thermal equilibrium with the pan.

$m_p.c_a.(T_{ip}-T_f)=m_v.L+(m_w-m_v).c_w.(T_f-T_{iw})$

$0.6\times 900\times (173-T_f)=0.03\times 2256000+(0.25-0.03)\times 4186\times (T_f-20)$

$T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C$

1. How can you explain the sound has energy?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.

What will happen if you place too many washers on the end of a shaded-pole motor shaft? A. The motor will become noisy. B. The r

iren [92.7K]

The answer is letter b, the rotor will jam. It is because if there are too many washers, it will be overcrowded, making the rotor to jam in it, where this will lead the motor to dysfunction or not function properly. It is best not to place too many washers in the end of the shaded pole motor shaft to prevent further complications.
