Answer:

When an apple falls from the tree to the ground, its energy of position (stored as gravitational potential energy) is converted to kinetic energy, the energy of motion, as it falls. When the apple hits the ground, kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy.

In an experiment the mass of a calorimeter is 36.35 g . Express in micrometer ,millimetre and kg.

Andru [333]

Answer:

1. 36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer.

II. 36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre.

III. 36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass of calorimeter = 36.35 grams

To convert the mass in grams (g) to;

I. Micrometer

Conversion:

1 g = 1 exp 15 um

36.35 g = X um

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 exp 15 = 36.35 exp 15 um

36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer

II. Millimetre

Conversion:

1 g = 1 milliliter

36.35 g = X milliliter

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 = 36.35 milliliter

Next, we would convert milliliter to millimetre;

1 milliliter = 10 millimetre

36.35 milliliter = X millimetre

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 10 = 363.5 millimetre

36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre

III. Kilogram

Conversion:

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

36.35 g = X kilogram

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X * 1000 = 36.35 * 1

Dividing both sides by 1000, we have;

X = 36.35/1000 = 0.03635 kilogram

36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram

Note:

g is the symbol for grams.
Exp (E) means exponential = 10
um is the symbol for micrometer.

1. Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere

atroni [7]

1. Earth's moon has no atmosphere because the moon's gravity is too weak to hold onto gas molecules.
2. On the moon, maria are low flat plains. The word maria comes from the Latin word mare, which means sea.

An important thing to consider when responding to a driver in front of you that stops suddenly is:a. the mental state of the oth

Gre4nikov [31]

The correct answer is option A. i.e. An important thing to consider when responding to a driver in front of you that stops suddenly is: the mental state of the other driver.

Our talk or discussion can disrturb the balance of the driver or he can get distracted. So, we must try not to speak much while the driver is driving because by doing this we are putting the life of ourselves in danger. Any distrcaction of driver can cause accident.

What is the tangential velocity of a record player which makes 11 revolutions in 20 seconds?

slava [35]

Answer:

The tangential velocity of a rotating object is:

v = r*w

where r is the radius, and w is the angular velocity.

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency.

We know that the record plater does 11 revolutions in 20 seconds, then it does:

11 rev/20s = 0.55 rev/s = f

then we have:

w = 2*pi*0.55 s^-1 = 2*3.14*0.55 s^-1 = 3.454 s^-1

The radius of a record player is really variable, it is around 10 inches, so i will use r = 10in, which is the rotating part of the record player.

then the tangential velocity is:

v = 10in*3.454 s^-1 = 34.54 in/s
