We get heat on earth from the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through earths atmosphere to the earths surface. And since this warms the earth surface it creates heat.

You and a friend each hold a lump of wet clay. Each lump has a mass of 30 grams. You each toss your lump of clay into the air, w
Vesna [10]

Answer:

\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

u_1 = Velocity of one lump = 3x+3y-3z

u_2 = Velocity of the other lump = -4x+0y-4z

m = Mass of each lump = 30\ \text{g}

The collision is perfectly inelastic as the lumps stick to each other so we have the relation

mu_1+mu_2=(m+m)v\\\Rightarrow m(u_1+u_2)=2mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+u_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3x+3y-3z-4x+0y-4z}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.5x+1.5y-3.5z=\ \text{m/s}

The velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision is \ \text{m/s}.

Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the
Zina [86]
The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where 
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
\Delta h is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.

In the parallel spring system, the springs are positioned so that the 37 N weight stretches each spring equally. The spring cons
Reptile [31]

Answer:

x = 5.29 m

Explanation:

given,

weight of stretch = 37 N

left-hand spring constant (k₁)= 2.7 N/cm

right hand spring constant(k₂)= 4.3 N/ cm

spring are connected in parallel

F = F₁ + F₂

F = k₁x + k₂x

F = (k₁+ k₂)x

37= (4.3+ 2.7)x

7 x = 37

x = 5.29 m
