Answer:

Explanation:

There's an easy way to answer this and then an easier way. I'll do both since I'm not sure what you're doing this for: physics or calculus. Calculus is the easier way, btw.

Going with the physics version first, here's what we know:

a = -9.8 m/s/s

v₀ = 3.75 m/s

t = ??

That's not a whole lot...at least not enough to directly solve the problem. What we have to remember here is that at the max height of a parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. So we can add that to our info:

v = 0 m/s. Use the one-dimensional equation that utilizes all that info and allows us to solve for time:

v = v₀ +at and filling in:

0 = 3.75 + (-9.8)t and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = .38 seconds. This is how long it takes to get to its max height. Another thing we need to remember (which is why calculus is so much easier!) is that at the halfway point of a parabolic path (the max height), the object has traveled half the time it takes to make the whole trip. In other words, if .38 is how long it takes to go halfway, then 2(.38) is how long the whole trip takes:

2(.38) = .76 seconds. Now onto the calculus way:

The position function is

s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.75t The first derivative of this is the velocity function and, knowing that when the velocity is 0, the time is halfway gone, we will find the velocity function and then set it equal to 0 and solve for t:

v(t) = -9.8t + 3.75 and

0 = -9.8t + 3.75 and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = ,38 and multiply that by 2 to find the time the whole trip took:

2(.38) = .76 seconds.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ

Compute the kinetic energy of a proton (mass 1.67×10−27kg ) using both the nonrelativistic and relativistic expressions for spee
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of proton m=1.67\times10^{-27}\ kg

Speed v= 9.00\times10^{7}\ m/s

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for non relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

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

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times(9.00\times10^{7})^2

K.E=6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=mc^2(\sqrt{(\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}})}-1)

K.E=1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^{2}\cdot\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\frac{\left(9.00\times10^{7}\right)^{2}}{(3\times10^{8})^{2}}}}-1\right)

K.E=7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Hence, The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Answer:

10

Explanation:

This is tough. The last number  0.2 has only one significant figure. So while the sum of all the numbers is 12.3, you must only leave one sig figure. Rounding to the tenths gives 10.

True/False: Paraphrasing Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, gravity "handprint" makes an "indentation" in the fabric of sp
Y_Kistochka [10]
B.False

Einstein's vision of GR is NOT that somehow Gravity comes along and alters (indents?) some existing structure.
It is that Gravity (with its four possible sources) actually determines the entire global structure of Space-Time in which such sources are extant.
