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

I'm completely lost in physics, the Kinematics and dynamics units.. My exam is coming up.. If a biker travelling at 6.4m/s sees
Alexeev081 [22]
D=rt
when biker A catches biker B, the time they've been riding is the same, so 
t=t, or d/r=d/r
the rates are 6.4 and 4.7, so
d/6.4=d/4.7
biker B is 34m ahead, so 
(d+34)/6.4=d/4.7
multiply both sides by 6.4*4.7:
4.7(d+34)=6.4d
4.7d+=6.4d+159.8
1.7d=159.8
d=94 meters

Another way to think of it is that biker A gains 1.7 meters on B every second (6.4-4.7=1.5), so the time it'll take for him to gain 34 meters is 34/1.7=20 seconds. In that time, biker B travels 4.7*20=94 meters

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
