Answer:

h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)

Explanation:

This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the numbers = \frac{1}{2}(4.0)(8^{2})

Solve = 2(64) = 128 J

Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.

Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)

Kinetic energy = Potential Energy

128 J = 39.2h

h = 3.26 m

h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)

PolarNik [594]

 Step by step solution :

standard deviation is given by :

\sigma = \sqrt\dfrac{{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}}{n}

where, \sigma is standard deviation

\bar{x} is mean of given data

n is number of observations

From the above data, \bar{x}=24.88

Now, if x=24.8, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.0064

If  x=23.9, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.9604

if x=26.1, then (x-\bar{x})^2=1.4884

If x=25.1, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.0484

If x=24.5, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.1444

so, \sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =\frac{0.0064+0.9604+1.4884+0.0484+0.1444}{5}

\sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =2.648

\sqrt{\sum \frac{(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}

\sigma =0.7277

No, Joe's value does not agree with the accepted value of 25.9 seconds. This shows a lots of errors.

Two particles in a high-energy accelerator experiment are approaching each other head-on, each with a speed of 0.9520c as measur
Over [174]

Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Velocities of the two particles = 0.9520c

Using Lorentz transformation

Let relative velocity be W, so

v_r = ( u + v ) / ( 1 + ( uv / c²) )

since each particle travels with the same speed,

u = v

so

v_r = ( u + u ) / ( 1 + ( u×u / c²) )  

v_r = 2(0.9520c) / ( 1 + ( 0.9520c )² / c²) )  

we substitute

v_r = 1.904c / ( 1 + ( (0.906304 × c² ) / c²) )  

v_r = 1.904c / ( 1 + 0.906304 )

v_r = 1.904c / 1.906304

v_r = 0.9988c

Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

Can you please answer these ASAP!
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Let's explain this briefly.

Suppose that we have a piece of ice (this is, solid water) now we give energy to the piece of ice, so the temperature of the ice increases. There is a point where the piece of ice will start a change of phase, at this point the temperature of the ice stops increasing because all the energy we give to the ice is used in the change of phase.

Once we have a complete change of phase, the temperature can increase again, and now we will have liquid water.

If we keep increasing the temperature we will see this happen again, when we have the transition from liquid to gas.

(and a similar thing happen when we have a material in a given phase and we remove heat from the material).

In the images we can see the different changes of phase of water.

1) In the first image we can see the circle in a part where the temperature is constant, so the temperature does not change in this part, which means that there is a change of phase happening.

2) Here we have the circle in a diagonal line, so here the temperature is changing, meaning that we have an increase of temperature in this region.

3) Here we want to know what the x-axis represents, this should rerpesent the energy that is being given to the material (so in some parts we see that the temperature increases and in other parts we see that the material changes of phase)

Then here the correct option is heat over time.

4) The freezing point is the temperature in which the change of phase from liquid to solid happens (or solid to liquid).

In the graph we can see that this change of phase happens at the temperature T = -210°C

Then the correct option is -210°C (The last option)
