Physics
1 answer:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a and c are both correct

Explanation:

The Greek Philosophers had to reject many existing explanations (mostly from the babylonians and the egyptians) because of possible religion bias. <u>They resorted to logic and reason to provide understanding for the world around them</u>. The first set of Greek Philosophers were the Milesian thinkers; <u>whom aside from logic and reason also placed value on Observation in understanding the world</u>.

There are generally no evidence to support the use of experiment to support the claims of the Greek philosophers

What will be the average velocity of a body falling in free fall on Earth for 3 s?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

29.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 3s

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      v  = u + gt

v is the average velocity

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

So;

        v  = 0 + (9.8 x 3)  = 29.4m/s

Why does the hood of a car heat up after the car has been running for a while? A) According to the fourth law of thermodynamics,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

C) According to the second law of thermodynamics, not all energy from the burnt fuel is used to do work on the piston. It also produces heat which warms other parts of the car.  

Explanation:

A) According to the fourth law of thermodynamics, the temperature of the other parts of the car increases due to the coolant used for the engine.  

B) According to the first law of thermodynamics, the hood of the car heats up using heat from the surroundings in-order to achieve thermal equilibrium with the engine.  

C) According to the second law of thermodynamics, not all energy from the burnt fuel is used to do work on the piston. It also produces heat which warms other parts of the car.  

D) According to the third law of thermodynamics, the increase in the velocity of the car changes the entropy of the tires. To balance this change, the temperature of the other parts is increased.

What are the differences between glaciers and geysers
liq [111]

A glacier is frozen and a geyser has boiling water coming from it. A glacier is usually still but it sometimes breaks and a geyser erupts. Also geysers are mostly rare and glaciers aren't.

The 1.19 kg head of a hammer has a speed of 8.4 m/s just before it strikes a nail (Fig. 14-13) and is brought to rest. Estimate
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The temperature rise is 143.9\ K.

Explanation:

Given the mass of the hammer (m) is 1.19 kg.

And the speed of the hammer (v) is 8.4 m/s.

We need to find the temperature change of iron nail having 20 hammer blows.

First, we will find the kinetic energy of the each blow of hammer.

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.19\times 8.4^2=41.99\ J

For 20 such blows, the kinetic energy will be

20\times K.E=20\times 41.99=839.8\ J

Let us assume that the nail absorbs all the kinetic energy. So, this 839.8 J will be converted into heat energy (Q).

Now,

Q=839.8\ J

Also, we know that

Q=mc\Delta_T

Where,

m is the mass of the nail, which is 13\ g=\frac{13}{1000}=0.013\ kg

c is the specific heat capacity of iron, which is 449 J/kg.K

\Delta_T is the change in temperature.

Plug these value we get,

Q=mc\Delta_T\\839.8\ J=(0.013\ kg)(449\ J/kg.K)\times\Delta_T\\\Delta_T=\frac{839.8}{0.013\times 449}\\\\\Delta_T=143.9\ K

We can see the temperature rise is 143.9 K.
