On a hot day, a concrete sidewalk feels hotter than the water in a small swimming pool. And a sandy beach feels hotter than the

lake or ocean. What do these observations tell you about temperature changes when different materials are heated?

Answer:

Each type of substance or material has a different capacity to support an energy supply without raising its temperature much. Water is the substance that, when receiving energy, raises its temperature less and also when losing energy, it lowers its temperature less.

Rocks, metals, and solids in general, tend to increase the temperature greatly when receiving energy. For this reason on a hot day, the sand on the beach or the concrete sidewalk will tend to be much hotter than the water in the pool or the sea that will be warm.

A 10 kg migratory swan cruises at 20m/s. A calculation that takes into ac-count the necessary forces shows that this motion requ
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

A person is pulling a freight cart with a force of 58 pounds. how much work is done in moving the cart 70 feet if the cart's han
Kobotan [32]

<span>The person is dragging with a force of 58 lbs at an angle of 27 degrees relating to the ground. We want to use cosine function to look for the horizontal force component. And then we can compute for W = (Horizontal Force) x (Distance). We want the horizontal force component since that is the component that is parallel to the direction the cart is moving. </span><span>

(cos 27 degrees)(58 lbs) = 51.69 lbs (This is the horizontal force component.) 
W = (51.69 lbs) x (70 ft) = 3618.3 ft*lbs</span>

Put the following words in order from smallest to largest: atoms, matter, elements
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Matter, atoms, elements.

Explanation:

Matter is just a name for anything that has mass and takes up space. Therefore, atoms are larger than matter. Atoms are the smallest bits of an element that <em>are</em><em> </em><em>still</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>element</em>, so, elements would be bigger than the atoms that come together to create them!

Hope this helps!

In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects
ipn [44]

Both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

- In a collision between two or more objects, if there are no external forces acting on the system (isolated system), the total momentum of the objects is always conserved. This is called principle of conservation of momentum, and can be written as follows:

mu+MU = mv+MV

where

m, M are the masses of the two objects

u, U are the initial velocities of the two objects

v, V are the final velocities of the two objects

- The total kinetic energy, however, is not always conserved. In fact, we have two types of collision:

1) In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This means that we can write the following equation:

\frac{1}{2}mu^2 + \frac{1}{2}MU^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2

2) In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the object is NOT conserved. This means that part of the total kinetic energy is "lost", converted into other forms of energy (mainly thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces within the system). The most extreme case is called perfectly inelastic collision, in which the two objects stick together after the collision, and there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy.
