A baseball starts from rest and rolls 40.0 m down a hill in 10.0 seconds what is the acceleration

1 answer:

3 0

Acceleration is velocity over time. in order to find velocity, you divide distance over time
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{40}{10} = 4 \\ a = \frac{v}{t} = \frac{4}{10} = 0.4 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }$

A 1650 kg car accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s^2. How much force is the car's engine producing?

Westkost [7]

F = M A

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

= (1,650 kg) (4 m/s²) = 6,600 kg-m/s² = <em>6,600 Newtons</em>

Determine the specific heat of a certain metal if a 450 gram sample of it loses 34 500 Joules of heat as its temperature starts

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

c = 0.4356 J/gK

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 450 grams

Initial temperature, T1 = 150°C

Final temperature, T2 = 53°C

Quantity of heat = 34500 Joules

To find the specific heat capacity of the metal;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

$Q = mcdt$

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 53 - 150

dt = -97°C

Converting the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin, we have;

dt = 273 + (-97) = 176 Kelvin

Making c the subject of formula, we have;

$c = \frac {Q}{mdt}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$c = \frac {34500}{450*176}$

$c = \frac {34500}{79200}$

c = 0.4356 J/gK

The reflective quality of a surface is known as its

Brut [27]

<h2>Answer: Albedo </h2>

The <u>albedo</u> is an amount that expresses the percentage of radiation a surface reflects with respect to the incident radiation.

In other words:

This amount allows us to know the level of radiation that <u>reflects</u> a surface compared to the total <u>radiation it receives</u>.

According to this, light surfaces such as snow covered ground or white sand will have a higher albedo than dark surfaces such as carbon covered ground. It is also important to note, the albedo will be higher on glossy surfaces than on matte surfaces.

It should be noted that the albedo of the Earth is on average about $37\%$ , which means that part of the radiation received by the Sun is absorbed and another part reflected back to space.
