Answer:

C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}$

Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.

Beaker A contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 25 °C. Beaker B contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 60 °C. Which

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Only option A is correct. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Beaker 1 has a volume of 100 mL at 25 °C

Beaker B has a volume of 100 mL at 60 °C

Thermal energy = m*c*T

Thermal energy beaker A = 100 grams*4.184 * 25°C

Thermal energy beaker B = 100 grams *4.184*60°C

⇒ Since both beakers contain the same amount of water, the thermal energy depends on the temperature.

Since beaker B has a higher temperature, it has a higher thermal energy than beaker A

When we heat a substance, its temperature rises and causes an increase in the kinetic energy of its constituent molecules. Temperature is, in fact, a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules.

This means beaker B has a higher kinetic energy than beaker A

Potential energy doesn't depend on temperature. this means the potential energy of beaker A and beaker B is the same.

a. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B. This is correct.

b. Beaker A has higher thermal energy than beaker B. This is false.

c. Beaker A has higher potential energy than beaker B. This is false.

d. Beaker A has lower potential energy than beaker B. This is false

e. Beaker A has higher kinetic energy than beaker B. This is false.

Properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance

Zolol [24]

The complete statement is "chemical properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance".

It states a key concept in chemistry.

A chemical property is the ability of a substance, element or compound, to <em>transform</em> into other substances either <em>by decomposing or by combining</em> with one or more substances.

This transformation is defined as chemical reaction.

During chemical reactions some chemical bonds are broken and others are formed leading to the formation of one or more different substances called products.

Some examples of chemical properties are: reactivity with oxygen, reactivity with water, acidity, basicity, oxidation, reduction. The only way to tell if a substance has certain chemical property is by letting it react and so observe the change of the original substance into one or more different substances.

In 1994, Leroy Burrell of the United States set what was then a new world record for the men’s 100 m run. He ran the 1.00  102

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

61.33 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Velocity =?

Velocity = Distance / time

Velocity = 1×10² / 9.5

Velocity = 10.53 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Velocity (v) = 10.53 m/s

Mass (m) =?

KE = ½mv²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 10.53²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 110.8809

3.40×10³ = m × 55.44045

Divide both side by 55.44045

m = 3.40×10³ / 55.44045

m = 61.33 Kg

Thus, the mass of Leroy Burrell is 61.33 Kg

A uranium nucleus is traveling at 0.94 c in the positive direction relative to the laboratory when it suddenly splits into two p

Anettt [7]

Answer:

A u = 0.36c B u = 0.961c

Explanation:

In special relativity the transformation of velocities is carried out using the Lorentz equations, if the movement in the x direction remains

u ’= (u-v) / (1- uv / c²)

Where u’ is the speed with respect to the mobile system, in this case the initial nucleus of uranium, u the speed with respect to the fixed system (the observer in the laboratory) and v the speed of the mobile system with respect to the laboratory

The data give is u ’= 0.43c and the initial core velocity v = 0.94c

Let's clear the speed with respect to the observer (u)

u’ (1- u v / c²) = u -v

u + u ’uv / c² = v - u’

u (1 + u ’v / c²) = v - u’

u = (v-u ’) / (1+ u’ v / c²)

Let's calculate

u = (0.94 c - 0.43c) / (1+ 0.43c 0.94 c / c²)

u = 0.51c / (1 + 0.4042)

u = 0.36c

We repeat the calculation for the other piece

In this case u ’= - 0.35c

We calculate

u = (0.94c + 0.35c) / (1 - 0.35c 0.94c / c²)

u = 1.29c / (1- 0.329)

u = 0.961c

We are going to focus on the gravitational force between Earth and our Moon. The Earth has a mass of about 6 x 10/24 kg and the

Answer

Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface. If you were to weigh yourself on a scale on Earth and then on the moon, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight
