Answer:

1.96 J

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

ΔU + ΔK = 0  where ΔU = internal energy change and ΔK = kinetic energy change. We neglect potential energy change since we are not given any information about it.

ΔU = -ΔK

ΔK = K₂ - K₁ where  K₁ = initial kinetic energy and K₂ = final kinetic energy = 0 where  ΔU = 0.382K₁

     = 0.382mv²/2  where m = mass of spike = 0.71 kg and v = initial speed of spike = 3.8 m/s

     = 0.382 × 0.71 kg × (3.8 m/s)²/2

     = 1.96 J

as you sit on a dock, you notice a wave crest pass. you count another 16 wave crests in the next eight seconds. what is the freq
uysha [10]
The SI unit for frequency is Hertz (Hz), or simply, the reciprocal of a second. It measures how fast an object could be moving. In this case, the frequency would be 16 wave crests per 8 seconds (16/8 = 2). In simplified answer, the frequency is 2 per second, or 2 Hz.

Hi!


1. R-Value - a standardized rating for insulating materials

R value is essentially the measure of the resistance to the conductive flow of heat that is determined by the thickness of a material. Different materials are allocated different R values in accordance with the degree of insulation they offer, such as a window, or a wall. It can be said to be the degree of insulation a layer of material offers, and the greater the R value, the higher the resistance it offers to the flow of heat, meaning better the insulation


2. Thermal Equilibrium - when two materials in contact are at the same temperature

Thermal equilibrium is a state when there is no net flow of thermal energy between two materials that are in contact through a pathway that offers thermal conductivity, or in more simple terms permeable to heat. If the temperature of a system is temporally and spatially consistent, the system is said to be in a thermal equilibrium.


3. Insulation - any material that reduces loss of energy due to heat flow

Insulation is when a material prevents the flow or passage of thermal energy or stops heat flow by some degree from one environment to another. For instance, a blanket offers insulation to the body by impairing the flow of heat from the body to the surrounding air. The greater the insulation, the less would be the flow of heat or thermal energy from one place to another.

4. Thermal Conductivity - a physical property of materials that relates its ability to conduct thermal energy

Thermal conductivity is a property of a material that deals with its ability to conduct heat, or thermal energy. The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the greater would be the heat transfer within the material. For instance, a metal has a higher thermal conductivity that wood, meaning wood allows a lower transfer of heat through it. This is the reason why most cooking utensils such as spatula have a wooden base, instead of a metallic base.


Hope this helps!

2. Calculate the kinetic energy of a football being launched downfield by Patrick Mahomes. The football has a mass of .5 kg and
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

K.E = 156.25 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.5kg

Velocity = 25 m/s

To find the kinetic energy;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}0.5*25^{2}

K.E = 0.25 * 625

K.E = 156.25 Joules.
