The Thermal energy from the fire moves to the water in the forms of heat.

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat which generated by the movements of tiny particles of an obejct. The faster the particles move, the more heat energy it will generates

Hope this help you out

A small block with a mass of 0.0600 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Figur

pogonyaev

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that mass of block=0.0600 kg

Initial speed of block=0.63 m/s

Distance of block from the hole when the block is revolved=0.47 m

Final speed=3.29 m/s

Distance of block from the hole when the block is revolved= $9\times 10^{-2}m$

a.We have to find the tension in the cord in the original situation when the block has speed = $v_0=0.63 m/s$

$T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Because tension is equal to centripetal force

Substitute the values

$T=\frac{0.06\times (0.63)^2}{0.47}=0.05 N$

b. $v=3.29 m/s$

$T=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{0.06\times (3.29)^2}{0.09}=7.2 N$

c.Work don=Final K.E-Initial K.E

$W=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-v^2_0)$

$W=\frac{1}{2}(0.06)((3.29)^2-(0.63)^2)$

$W=0.31 J$

Suppose that you hear a clap of thunder 16 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. How far are you from the lightning st

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

$d=5.376km$

Explanation:

Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that $v=d/t$ , we can write $d=vt=(336m/s)(16s)=5376m=5.376km$

Two piano strings produce beats. Frequencies of the strings are 1560 Hz. and 1563 Hz. Choose the correct frequency of the beats.

kakasveta [241]

Beat frequency is given by the difference of two frequencies played together

$f_{beat} = |f_1 - f_2|$

given that

$f_1 = 1560 Hz$

$f_2 = 1563 Hz$

Now

$f_{beat} = |1560- 1563| Hz$

$f_{beat} = 3 Hz$

Four capacitors with capacitance 3.0 pF, 2.0 pF, 5.0 pF and X pF are connected in series to each other. If the equivalent capaci

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Explanation:

If unknown capacitance C1, C2, C3 and C4 are connected in series to one another, their equivalent capacitance of the circuit will be expressed as shown

$\frac{1}{C_t} = \frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2} +\frac{1}{C_3} +\frac{1}{C_4} \\$

Given the capacitance's 3.0 pF, 2.0 pF, 5.0 pF and X pF connected in series to each other. If the equivalent capacitance of the circuit is 0.83 pF, then to get X, we will apply the formula above;

$\frac{1}{0.83} = \frac{1}{3.0} +\frac{1}{2.0} +\frac{1}{5.0} +\frac{1}{C_4} \\\\\\1.205 = 0.333+0.5+0.2+\frac{1}{C_4} \\\\1.205 = 1.033 + \frac{1}{C_4} \\\\\frac{1}{C_4} = 1.205-1.033\\\\\frac{1}{C_4} = 0.172\\\\C_4 = \frac{1}{0.172}\\ \\C_4 = 5.8pF\\\\$

C₄ ≈ 6pF

Hence the value of the X capacitor is approximately 6pF
