A rock is thrown from the edge of the top of a 51 m tall building at some unknown angle above the horizontal. The rock strikes t

he ground a horizontal distance of 74 m from the base of the building 8 s after being thrown. Assume that the ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical. Determine the speed with which the rock was thrown.

Answer:

The speed of projection is 34 m/s.

Explanation:

Height of building, h = 51 m

horizontal distance, d = 74 m

time, t = 8 s

Let the angle is A and the speed is u.

d = u cos A x t

74 = u cos A x 8

u cos A = 9.25 .... (1)

Use second equation of motion

h = u sin A t - 0.5 gt^2\\\\-51 = u sinA \times 8 - 0.5\times 9.8\times8\times 8\\\\u sin A = 32.8 .... (2)

Squaring and adding both the equations

u^2 = 9.25^2 + 32.8^2 \\\\u = 34 m/s

Suppose 8.41 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expand adiabatically, and its temperature decreases from 395 to 279 K. Determine (a)
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) W=12166.20876 J

b) U= -12166.20876 J

Explanation:

No. of moles, n = 8.41

Change of temperature, ΔT = T1 - T2

                                         = 395 - 279

                                         = 116 K

For monatomic gas, γ = 5/3

γ -1 = 2 /3

Solution:

(a)

Work done,W= \frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_1-T_2)

plugging values we get

W= \frac{8.314\times8.41}{2/3}(116)

Ans:   12166.20876 J

Work done, W = + 12166.20876 J

(b)

From first law of thermodynamics, dQ = U + W

but, dQ = 0 ( adiabatic process)

Hence, U = - W

                 = - 12166.20876 J

Ans:

Change in internal energy, U = - 12166.20876 J

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

According to the answer, the speed of light is being achieved.

Explanation:

The velocity of the light is:

C=\frac{E}{P}

Where E = energy = 3.03x10⁻¹⁹J

P = momentum = 1.01x10⁻²⁷kgm/s

Replacing:

C=\frac{3.03x10^{-19} }{1.01x10^{-27} } =3x10^{8} m/s

If you had a friend who was struggling with their weight what are three healthy weight loss strategies that you would suggest an
Gennadij [26K]
Portion control- they would still be able to eat the foods that they like just in a smaller portion.
Gym membership- they could get a gym membership and work out a couple of times in a week, exercise is key to weight loss.
Seek a nutritionist- a nutritionist is very knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition so they would be able to help the friend out so they know what foods they can eat and what foods they should stay away from.
