Answer:

Adding heat makes the particles move faster so the particles have more kinetic energy when more thermal energy is added

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

$Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

$0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s$

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

$xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m$

and

$xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m$

the distance between them is given by:

$d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m$

To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a sp

Answer:

0.79 s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F_x:f_{max}=ma_x\\\sum F_y:N-mg=0$

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that $f_{max}=\mu N$

Now, we find the acceleration:

$\mu N=ma_x\\\mu mg=ma_x\\a_x=\mu g\\a_x=0.83(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\a_x=8.134\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

$x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\2x=a_xt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.2m)}{8.134\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=0.79 s$

The parking brake on a 1200kg automobile has broken, and the vehicle has reached a momentum of 7800kg.M/s. What is the velocity

AysviL [449]

Ok so the equation for momentum is:
v=p/m

So you would do:
7800/1200=6.5

So the answer is:
6.5 m/s

Hope this helps :)

The total amount of energy contained in an object

Elenna [48]

The total amount of energy stored in the particles of an object is called its internal energy. The internal energy of an object is made up of the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the particles and the potential energy due to the interactive forces among the particles.
