An object with a higher temperature can have less thermal energy than an object

1 answer:

4 0

It’s true, because it also depends on things like mass. Higher temperature but less mass< Lower temperature but more mass.

The half-life of caffeine is 5 hours. If you ingested a 30 oz Big Gulp, how many oz of caffeine is left after one half life? * Y

xeze [42]

Answer:

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to degenerate or decay to half of its original size.

The half life of caffeine is 5 hours. So ingesting a 30 oz, this would be reduced to half of its size after the first 5 hours.

So that:

After one half life of 5 hours, the value of caffeine that would be left is;

$\frac{30}{2}$ = 15 oz

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.

A 20-kilogram child is riding on a 10-kg sled over a frictionless icy surface at 8.0 meters per second. Calculate the kinetic en

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

K = 960 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child = 20 kg

Mass of a sled = 10 kg

Speed of child on sled = 8 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the sled with the child.

The total mass of child and the sled = 20 kg + 10 kg

= 30 kg

The formula for the kinetic energy of an object is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 30\times (8)^2\\\\K=960\ J$

Hence, the kinetic energy of the sled with the child is 960 J.

Suppose you are standing on top of a hemisphere of radius r and you kick a soccer ball horizontally such that it has velocity v.

Ksivusya [100]

$|v| =\sqrt{ G \cdot M / r}$ , where

$M$ the mass of the planet, and
$G$ the universal gravitation constant.

Explanation:

Minimizing the initial velocity of the soccer ball would minimize the amount of mechanical energy it has. It shall maintain a minimal gravitational potential possible at all time. It should therefore stay to the ground as close as possible. An elliptical trajectory would thus be unfavorable; the ball shall maintain a uniform circular motion as it orbits the planet.

Equation 1 (see below) relates net force the object experiences, $\Sigma F$ to its orbit velocity $v$ and its mass $m$ required for it to stay in orbit :

$\Sigma F = m \cdot v^{2} / r$ (equation 1)

The soccer ball shall experiences a combination of gravitational pull and air resistance (if any) as it orbits the planet. Assuming negligible air resistance, the net force $\Sigma F$ acting on the soccer ball shall equal to its weight, $W = m \cdot g$ where $g$ the gravitational acceleration constant. Thus

$\Sigma F = W = m \cdot g$ (equation 2)

Substitute equation 2 to the left hand side of equation 1 and solve for $v$ ; note how the mass of the soccer ball, $m$ , cancels out:

$m \cdot g = \Sigma F = m \cdot v^{2} / r \\ v^{2} = g \cdot r \\ |v| = \sqrt{g \cdot r} \; (|v| \ge 0)$ (equation 3)

Equation 4 gives the value of gravitational acceleration, $g$ , a point of negligible mass experiences at a distance $r$ from a planet of mass $M$ (assuming no other stellar object were present)
