The average kinetic energy K.E(av) is measured by:

K.E(av)=3/2RT

the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature .

When water freezes, the temperature decreases and therefore, the average kinetic energy will also decreases as well.

Consider the following statements about Newton's 2nd law in general. Select all of the statements that are true. Note, there may

Art [367]

Answer:

1. True

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law states that the net force exerted on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$ (1)

where

$\sum F$ is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is the acceleration

Furthermore, we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity:

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$

So let's now analyize the three statements:

1. A net force causes velocity to change: TRUE. Net force (means non-zero) causes a non-zero acceleration, which means that the velocity of the object must change.

2. If an object has a velocity, then we can conclude that there is a net force on the object: FALSE. The fact that the object has a velocity does not imply anything about its acceleration: in fact, if its velocity is constant, then its acceleration is zero, which would mean that the net force on the object is zero. So this statement is not necessarly true.

3. Accelerations are caused by the presence of a net force: TRUE. This is directly implied by eq.(1): the presence of the net force results in the object having a non-zero acceleration.

A huge tank of glycerine with a density of 1.260 g/cm3 is vertically stationed on a platform which is 15 m above the ground. The

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The tank is losing $4.976*10^{-4} m^3/s$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$

Explanation:

According to the Bernoulli’s equation:

$P_1 + 1 \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho gh_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2 + \rho gh_2$

We are being informed that both the tank and the hole is being exposed to air :

∴ P₁ = P₂

Also as the tank is voluminous ; we take the initial volume $v_1$ ≅ 0 ;

then $v_2$ can be determined as: $\sqrt{[2g (h_1- h_2)]$

h₁ = 5 + 15 = 20 m;

h₂ = 15 m

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(20 - 15)]$

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(5)]$

$v_2= 9.9 \ m/s$ as it leaves the hole at the base.

radius r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2.0 mm

(a) From the law of continuity; its equation can be expressed as:

J = $A_1v_2$

J = πr² $v_2$

J = $\pi *(2*10^{-3})^{2}*9.9$

J = $1.244*10^{-4} m^3/s$

How fast is the water from the hole moving just as it reaches the ground?

In order to determine that; we use the relation of the velocity from the equation of motion which says:

v² = u² + 2gh ₂

v² = 9.9² + 2×9.81×15

v² = 392.31

The velocity of how fast the water from the hole is moving just as it reaches the ground is : $v_g = \sqrt{392.31}$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$

At what speed does a 1,248 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 18,777 kg truck going 26 km/h?

notka56 [123]

The speed of car is 100.8km/h

$KE = \frac{1}{2} m(v \: truck ) {}^{2}$

$= 0.5 \times 18777 \times \frac{26}{3.6} \times \frac{26}{3.6}$

$= 489708.79j$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times 1248 \times( v \: car) {}^{2}$

$= 624v {}^{2}$

$so \: v {}^{2} = \frac{489708.7}{624}$

$= 784$

$v = \sqrt{784}$

$v = 28m/s$

v car= 28×3.6

=100.8km/h

Hence, the speed of the car is 100.8km/h

Please HEEEEELPPPP !!!!!

stepladder [879]

When you rub a balloon on a sweater, for example, some electrons come off and end up on the balloon. The fibers have lost electrons giving them a positive charge. The rubber gained electrons giving it a negative charge. ... The positively charged fibers are now attracted to the negatively charged balloon.
