On his honeymoon, James Joule attempted to explore the relationships between various forms of energy by measuring the rise of te

mperature of water which had fallen down a waterfall on Mount Blanc.
What maximum temperature rise would one expect for a waterfall with a vertical drop of 20 m? The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ain K. 32)

A) 0.071 C° B) 0.053C° C) 0.047 C° D) 0.064 C°

Answer:

The maximum temperature rise = 0.047 °C

Explanation:

Potential Energy, P = mgh

Energy transfered, Q=mcΔT

Potential energy  = Energy transfered

mgh = mcΔT

gh = cΔT

ΔT = gh/c

ΔT = (9.81 * 20) / 4186

ΔT = 0.047 °C

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 — off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5 m horizontally
emmainna [20.7K]

Complete Question

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of   4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The  pumpkin's vertical displacement  is  H = 27 .67 \ m

The  pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is  v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  horizontal speed is  v_h  =  4 m/s

    The horizontal distance traveled is  d =  9.5 \ m

The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

           S =  v_h * t

Where t is the time taken

substituting values

          9.5 =  4 * t

   =>     t =  \frac{9.5}{4}

            t = 2.38 \ sec

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

        H  =  v_v t  +  \frac{1}{2} a_v t^2

now the vertical velocity before the throw is  zero

    So

          H =  0 +  \frac{1}{2} (9.8) * (2.375)^2

          H = 27 .67 \ m

Now the final vertical velocity  is mathematically represented as

          v_v__{f}} =  v_v + at

  substituting values

             v_v__{f}} =  0 + (9.8)* (2.375)

            v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \  m/s

If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these
insens350 [35]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.

By definition the intensity is given by the equation

\beta = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_0})

Where,

I = Intensity of Sound

I_0= Intensity of Reference

At this case we have that 15 engines produces 15 times the reference intensity, that is

I= 15I_0

And the total mutual intensity is 100 dB, so we should

\beta = 100-10*log(\frac{15I_0}{I_0})

\beta = 100-10*log(15)

\beta = 100-11.76

\beta = 88.23dB

Therefore each one of these engines produce D. 88dB.

How could I tell if an egg is hard boiled or raw explain using Newton's law of motion
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's 2 nd law of motion tells that when equal torque is applied on object having higher moment of inertia , it will rotate slower .

Moment of inertia of boiled egg is higher because the whole egg rotates as s solid unit . Hence it will rotate slower or it rolls slower on an inclined surface .

In this way by applying Newton's law , we can identify raw or boiled egg .
