<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. The meridian at which longitude is defined to be 0 degrees

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Longitudes are imaginary lines going from south pole to north pole. These lines are known as meridians. Zero degrees longitude is an imaginary line known as the Prime Meridian or the Greenwich meridi</u></em>an.
  • The Prime meridian acts as the starting point for measuring distance both east and west around the Earth. The meridian runs through Greenwich, England and is internationally accepted as the line of 0 degrees longitude.
  • The lines of all longitudes or meridians are great circles, unlike in the case of lines of latitude where only the equator is a great circle.

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from
UNO [17]
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

A projectile is fired at v 0 = 381.0 m/s at an angle of θ = 73.5 ∘ , with respect to the horizontal. Assume that air friction wi
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of projection, vo = 381 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 73.5°

The formula for the range is

R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

R=\frac{381^{2}Sin147 }{9.8}

R = 8067.4 m

Range in shorten by 34.1 %

So, the new range is

R' = 8067.4 - 34.1 x 8067.4/100

R' = 5316.4 m

The thermal energy in a heat engine is used to move a piston. Which best describes why this is possible?
Natali [406]

Answer:

The increase in thermal energy results in an increase in pressure.

Explanation:

  • The increase in entropy is directly related to the increase in temperature. So the thermal energy in heat engine increases the temperature of that surrounding.
  • Higher temperature means the kinetic energy of particles is also higher, their vibration is increasing. So it increases the pressure (ideal gas law).
  • In this way the increment in the thermal energy in heat engine moves piston by increasing the pressure.

What is the potential energy of a 30 Newton ball that is on the ground
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The potential energy of a 30N ball on the ground will be zero. With respect to height, h. Potential energy will be calculated like this. P=mgh. So if its on the ground relatively speaking the h=0. Thus inputting into the above formula. P=0.
