Answer:

Explanation:

<em>These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.</em>

Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What i

Molodets [167]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels

Crank

Answer:

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }$

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

$v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}$

And in the case of vertical $v_{avg}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

where $y_{tot}$ is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height $H$ with initial velocity $v_0$ is given by:

$y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2$

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when $y'(t)=0$ , and it is

$t=\frac{v_0}{g}$

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

$y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2$

$y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}$

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

$y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

$y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}$

$y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

$\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}$

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

$t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},$

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another $t_0$ to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

$t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0$

where $t_0$ is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

$H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2$

we solve for $t_0$ using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

$t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

Therefore the total time is

$t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

$\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}}$

Now the average velocity is

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }$

$\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }$

Why are atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone together in nature?

nikdorinn [45]

atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone in nature because t<span>hey have only one electron in their outer most shell which makes them very reactive and they react with other atoms thats why. I hope this can help you</span>
