Which describes an object in projectile motion? Check all that apply.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Gravity acts to pull the object down.

The object’s inertia carries it forward.

The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, where the velocity is constant; since there are no forces along this direction, the velocity does not change, and so the object continues its motion for inertia --> so, the statement  "The object’s inertia carries it forward" is true.

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with a constant downward acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity). So, the vertical velocity changes, due to the presence of the gravity that acts to pull the object down.

- As a result of the combination of these two motions, the object follows a curved path (in particular, it is a parabolic path).

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

Atmospheric conditions near a mountain range are such that a cloud at an altitude of 2.00 km contains 3.20 ✕ 10^7 kg of water va
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

time required is 6.72 years

Explanation:

Given data

mass m = 3.20 ✕ 10^7 kg

height h = 2.00 km = 2 × 10^3 m

power p = 2.96 kW  =2.96 × 10^3 J/s

to find out

time period

solution

we know work is mass × gravity force × height

and power is work / time

so we say that power =  mass  gravity force × height / time

now put all value and find time period

power =  mass × gravity force × height / time

2.96 × 10^3 =  3.20 ✕ 10^7  × 9.81× 2 × 10^3  / time

time =  62.784 × 10^10 / 2.96 × 10^3

time = 21.21081081 × 10^7 sec

time = 58.91891892 × 10^3 hours

time = 6.72 years

so time required is 6.72 years
