A copper sphere was moving at 40 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f

or the copper sphere. If the specific heat capacity of copper is 387 J/(kg ⋅ C°), what was the increase in temperature?
0.23 C°
0.81 C°
1.3 C°
2.1 C°

Answer:

Temperature increase = 2.1 [C]

Explanation:

We need to identify the initial data of the problem.

v = velocity of the copper sphere = 40 [m/s]

Cp = heat capacity = 387 [J/kg*C]

The most important data given is the fact that when the shock occurs kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, therefore it will have to be:

E_{k}=Q\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]\\Q=thermal energy [J]\\Re-employment values and equalizing equations\\\\\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*C_{p}*dT  \\The masses are canceled \\\\dT=\frac{v^{2}}{C_{p} *2} \\dT=2.1 [C]

Please help !!
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Just as the angles of the sun, moon and Earth affect tidal heights over the course of a lunar month, so do their distances to one another. Because the moon follows an elliptical path around the Earth, the distance between them varies by about 31,000 miles over the course of a month.

Hope this helped, have a nice rest of your day!

Explain why a moving object can be in equilibrium
Ivanshal [37]
Well, an equilibrium means that no force are changing an object's inertia (current state of motion).

A bullet leaves a rifle with a muzzle velocity of 521 m/s. while accelerating through the barrel of the rifle, the bullet moves
iVinArrow [24]
velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\
velocity*time=distance\\\\
time=\frac{distance}{velocity}\\\\
time=\frac{0,840m}{521\frac{m}{s}}=0,0016s\\\\
acceleration=\frac{velocity}{time}=\frac{521}{0,0016}=325625\frac{m}{s^2}
