8 0

Answer:

(a) 0 J

(b) 828.96 J

(c) 828.96 J

(d) 828.96 J

(e) 0 J

(f) 828.96 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the rock is, m=3.18\ kg

Initial height of the rock is, h_{i}=26.6\ m

Final height of the rock is, h_f=0\ m

Initial velocity of the rock is, v_i=0\ m/s(Rest)

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

(a)

Initial kinetic energy is given as:

K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

Plug in the given values and solve for 'K_i'. This gives,

K_i=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.18\times 0^2=0

Therefore, initial kinetic energy is 0 J.

(b)

Initial potential energy is given as:

U_i=mgh_i\\U_i=3.18\times 9.8\times 26.6=828.96\ J

Therefore, initial potential energy is 828.96 J.

(c)

Mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy. It is always a constant value. Therefore,

ME=K_i+P_i\\ME=0+828.96=828.96\ J

Therefore, mechanical energy at 26.6 m is 828.96 J.

(d)

Now, at the final height of 0 m, the decrease in potential energy will be equal to the increase in the kinetic energy. In other words, the potential energy at the start will be converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.

Therefore, kinetic energy at the 0 m is given as:

K_f=U_i=828.96\ J

(e)

Potential energy at the final height is given as:

P_f=mgh_f=3.18\times 9.8\times 0=0\ J

Therefore, final potential energy is 0 J.

(f)

Total mechanical energy is a constant and doesn't depend on the height.

So, total mechanical energy at 0 m is same as that at 26.6 m.

Total mechanical energy is 828.96 J.

A plane travels at a speed of 205mph in still air. Flying with a tailwind, the plane is clocked over a distance of 1000 miles. F
vaieri [72.5K]

While plane is moving under tailwind condition it took time "t"

so here we will have

t = \frac{d}{v_{net}}

here net speed of the plane will be given as

v_{net} = v + v_w

t = \frac{1000}{205 + v_w}

similarly when it moves under the condition of headwind its net speed is given as

v_{net} = v - v_w

now time taken to cover the distance is 2 hours more

t + 2 = \frac{1000}{205 - v_w}

now solving two equations

\frac{1000}{205 + v_w} + 2 = \frac{1000}{205 - v_w}

solving above for v_w we got

v_w = 40.4 mph

A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?
ASHA 777 [7]

The complete question is: A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?

A) The drawing is wrong because there are more chemicals on the products side.

B) The drawing is correct because there are 12 compounds on each side of the arrow.

C) The drawing is wrong because there are different compounds on each side of the arrow.

D) The drawing is correct because there are 12 atoms of each type on each side of the arrow.

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

In the diagram attached below, it can be seen that there are 12 atoms of element which combine with 12 atoms of another element forming a compound. For the drawing to be correct, there should be 12 atoms of each type of element on both the reactants as well as product side, which is the case. There cannot be imbalance in the number of atoms of different elements on the two sides for a chemical reaction to occur.

Hence, option D is correct.

Un automóvil se mueve 80 m en 40 s con una velocidad constante. ¿Cuál es la velocidad del automóvil? Ayuda plissssssssssssssssss
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Velocidad = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Dados los siguientes datos;

Distancia = 80 m

Tiempo = 40 s

Para encontrar la velocidad del automóvil;

La velocidad se puede definir como la tasa de cambio en el desplazamiento (distancia) con el tiempo.

La velocidad es una cantidad vectorial y, como tal, tiene magnitud y dirección.

Matemáticamente, la velocidad viene dada por la ecuación;

Velocidad = \frac {distancia} {tiempo}

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

Velocidad = 80/40

Velocidad = 2 m/s
