Answer:

d) The box’s initial potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and

thermal energy.

Explanation:

Let us analyze the situation first. Initially we have a box at rest placed at some height on a ramp. So, the three energies associated with the box will be:

Kinetic Energy = 0 (due to zero velocity)

Thermal Energy = 0 (due to not temperature change)

Potential Energy = Greater than zero value (due to height)

Now, when the box is released to slide down the ramp with friction, the energies become:

Kinetic Energy = Increasing (due to increase in velocity)

Thermal Energy = Increasing (due to increase in temperature, because of friction)

Potential Energy = Decreasing (due to decrease in height)

So, from Law of Conservation of Energy, we can write:

Loss of Potential Energy = Gain in Kinetic Energy + Gain in Thermal Energy

So, the correct option is:

d) <u>The box’s initial potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and  thermal energy.</u>

Answer:

1)t=2.26\: s

2)S=33.9\: m

3)v=26.77\: m/s

4)\alpha=55.92

Explanation:

1)

We can use the following equation:

y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{iy}t-0.5*g*t^{2}

Here, the initial velocity in the y-direction is zero, the final y position is zero and the initial y position is 25 m.

0=25-0.5*9.81*t^{2}

t=2.26\: s

2)

The equation of the motion in the x-direction is:

v_{ix}=\frac{S}{t}

15=\frac{S}{2.26}

S=33.9\: m

3)

The velocity in the y-direction of the stone will be:

v_{fy}=v_{iy}-gt

v_{fy}=0-(9.81*2.26)

v_{fy}=-22.17\: m/s

Now, the velocity in the x-direction is 15 m/s then the velocity will be:

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{fy}^{2}}=\sqrt{15^{2}+(-22.17)^{2}}

v=26.77\: m/s

4)

The angle of this velocity is:

tan(\alpha)=\frac{22.17}{15}

\alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{22.17}{15})

\alpha=55.92

Then α=55.92° negative from the x-direction.

I hope it helps you!

How can i tell the difference between a one element and another?
dybincka [34]


Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is the defining feature of an atom. It's what makes one element different from another

A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this, we start by using one of the equations of motion. The very first one, in fact

1

V = U + at.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 3.4 = 2.72 m/s.

2.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 4.3 = 3.44 m/s.

3.

d = ½ * 0.8 * 4.3² + 3.44 * 12.9

d = 7.396 + 44.376

d = 51.77 m.

4.

d = 62 - 51.77 = 10.23 m. = Distance

traveled during deceleration.

a = (V² - Vo²) / 2d.

a = (0² - 3.44²) / 20.46

a = -11.8336 / 20.46 = -0.58 m/s²

5.

t = (V - Vo)/a =(0 - 3.44) / -0.58

t = -3.44/-.58 = 5.93 s

= Stop time.

T = 4.3 + 12.9 + 5.93 = 23.13 s. = Total

time the hare was moving.

6.

d = Vo * t + ½ * a * t² = 62 m.

0 + 0.5 * (23.13)² * a = 61

267.5a = 61

a = 61/267.5

a = 0.23 m/s²

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added to pure water (H2O). Which most likely were the pH values of the water before and after the so
Anastaziya [24]
Before 7 after 9. A pH smaller than 7 indicates acidity with 0 being completely acidic. A pH greater than 7 shows alkalinity with 14 being completely alkaline. 7 is neutral. Since NaOH is alkaline, adding it to a neutral substance would increase the pH and it would increase from 7 to 9.

Which event would be impossible to explain by using john dalton’s model of the atom?
Troyanec [42]

Answer: An iron atom emits particles when it is struck by light (by the photoelectric effect)

Explanation:

The first atomic model was the one proposed by Jhon Dalton, according to which it is postulated that:

"Matter is made up of indivisible, indestructible and extremely small particles called atoms."

That is, <u>the atom is a solid and indivisible mass. </u>

However, the fenomenom by which an iron atom emits particles when it is struck by light (known as the photoelectric effect) can not be explaind by this<u> indivisible atom</u> model.

To understand it better:

The <u>photoelectric effect</u> consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

This is possible by considering light as a stream of photons, where each of them has energy. <u>This energy is be able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy.  </u>This means the atom is not indivisible, but it is a composition of different particles.

In fact, currently it is known that each atom is composed of a nucleus and one or more electrons attached to the nucleus, which is composed of one or more protons and typically a similar number of neutrons.
