city of 21 cm/s. If the collision lasts 0.45 seconds, what is the ball's acceleration?
A.+9 cm/s2
B.20 cm/s2 to the right

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Acceleration = rate of change in velocity

a = (21-12)/(0.45) = 20cm/s^2

Why do the planets appear in different locations in the night sky while the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same?
Goshia [24]
I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly.  At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed.  The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.

The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that. 

That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.

To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion.  The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things. 
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.

This all makes me feel small.  How about you ?

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

\Delta U = Q-W

\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)

Where

\dot{m} = Mass flow

h_1 =Specific Enthalpy (IN)

h_2 = Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

g = Gravity

z_{1,2} = Heigth state (In, OUT)

V_{1,2} =Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

T_i = 10\°C

P_1 = 100kPa

\dot{m} = 5kg/s

z_2 = 20m

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

h_1 = h_2

V_1 = V_2

Then we have that our equation now is,

\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}

\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}

\dot{W} = -0.98kW

When friction slows a sliding block___
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

When friction slows a sliding block, <u>the kinetic energy of the block is transformed into internal energy .</u>

<em>The frictional movement of two surfaces over one another leads to the conversion of some of their kinetic energies to another energy - heat or thermal energy. Hence, the temperatures of the objects are raised in the process. </em>

<u>Therefore, when a sliding block is slowed down due to friction, some of the kinetic energy of the block would be transformed into internal energy in the form of heat.</u>

The correct option is A.
