Answer:

19.6m/s

Explanation:

A Rock falling off a cliff can be modeled as an object starting with  zero velocity moves with constant acceleration for certain period of time, for such motion following equation of motion can be used.

v(t) = v_{0} +at

here in our case v_{0} =0 because object starts off from rest and a = g =9.8m/s^2 is acceleration because of gravity ( Motion under gravity).

and of course t = 2 second.

Now by substituting all this information in equation of motion we get.

v(2s) = 0+9.8m/s^2 *2s = 19.6m/s

that would be the velocity of rock as it would hit the ground.

Note! We have assumed that there is no air resistance.

Calculate the total energy transferred when 200 g of ice cubes at 0°C are changed to steam at 100°C.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

604000\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of ice = 200 g

\Delta T = Temperature change of water = (100-0)^{\circ}\text{C}

c = Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg °C

L_f = Specific latent heat of fusion = 340 kJ/kg

L_v = Specific latent heat of vaporisation = 2260 kJ/kg

Heat required to convert ice to water = mL_f

Heat required to raise the temperature of water to boiling point = mc\Delta T

Heat required to convert water to steam = mL_v

Total heat required

q=mL_f+mc\Delta T+mL_v\\\Rightarrow q=m(L_f+c\Delta T+L_v)\\\Rightarrow q=0.2(340\times 10^3+4200(100-0)+2260\times 10^3)\\\Rightarrow q=604000\ \text{J}

Heat required to convert the given amount of ice to steam at the required temperature is 604000\ \text{J}.

Looking for some help with the left side of the table and the questions followed :)
Inessa [10]

Answer:

(1). Going in the order: Gas, Liquid, Solid.

    Particle separation: Very large; large; small.

    Strength of forces between particles: very weak; weak; strong.

(2). a. The change of state is condensation.

     b. The density of the substance is increasing as particles move closer together.  

(3). a. The liquid's temperature decreases until it reaches solidification (freezing) point, and then the temperature will remain constant until all of the liquid has solidified.

     b. The particles move with less and less energy until they have low enough energy to come together and solidify, then they will release more energy when they come together to form bonds, and vibrate about their equilibrium positions once they are part of a  molecular bond.

Additional explanation:

(1). The particle separation in a gas is very large because the gas has a very low density, and since particles are not that close together,<em> the strength of forces between particles is very weak</em>.

The liquid is somewhat more denser than the gas and therefore the particle separation is large but less than that in a gas,<em> The strength of forces between particles is still weak but greater  than in a gas. </em>

Finally, particle separation in a solid is small because the solid is still more denser than the liquid, and the strength of forces between particles is strong because it's these forces that give a solid its rigid shape.

(2). a.The change of state of a substance in which particles slow down and move close together is called condensation.

    b. As the particles move close together, they are occupying less and less volume; therefore, the density is increasing.

(3). The explanation is already given in the answer.

The position of a car at time t is given by the function p(t)=t2 2t−4. What is the velocity when p(t)=11? assume t≥0
AysviL [449]

The velocity when function p(t)=11 is 8 .

According to the question

The position of a car at time t  represented by function :

p(t)=t^{2} +2t-4

Now,

When  function p(t) = 11 , t will be

p(t)=t^{2} +2t-4

11 = t²+2t-4

0 = t² + 2t - 15

or

t² +2t-15 = 0

t² +(5-3)t-15 = 0

t² +5t-3t-15 = 0

t(t+5)-3(t+5) = 0

(t-3)(t+5) = 0  

t = 3 , -5  

as t cannot be -ve as given ( t≥0)

so,

t = 3

Now,

the velocity when p(t)=11

As we know velocity = \frac{position}{time}

therefore to get the value of velocity from  function p(t)

we have to differentiate the function with respect to time

\frac{d(p(t))}{dt} =\frac{d}{dt} (t^{2} +2t-4)

v(t) = 2t + 2  

where v(t) = velocity at that time

as t = 3 for  p(t)=11  

so ,

v(t) = 2t + 2  

v(t) = 2*3 + 2  

v(t) = 8

Hence, the velocity when function p(t)=11 is 8 .

A concrete block is hung from an ideal spring that has a force constant of 100 N/m . The spring stretches 0.129 m .A- What is th
madam [21]

Answer:

1.31498 kg

0.72050 s

0.72050 s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

k = Spring constant = 100 N/M

x = Displacement = 0.129 m

The force balance is

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{kx}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{100\times 0.129}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31498\ kg

The mass of the block is 1.31498 kg

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{1.31498}{100}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.72050\ s

The period of oscillations is 0.72050 s

The time period does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. It varies with the mass and the spring constant.

Hence, the time period would be the same
