The maximum height that is reached by an object thrown or jumped at a certain initial velocity can be calculated through the equation,

   2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Vf is zero (0) in this equation because this is the point at the velocity at the maximum height of the object.

Substituting the known values,
  2(a)(-16) = 0 - (3.6)²

The value of a from the equation is 0.405 m/s².

<em>Answer: 0.405 m/s²</em>

How much energy has 4×10^10m^3 of water collected in a reservoir at a hight of 100 m from the power house ?What kind of energy i
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

PE = 3.92x10^16J

potential energy

Explanation:

PE = m*g*h

mass of water = 1000kg/m³

(4*10^10m³)*1000kg = 4*10^13kg

PE = (4*10^13kg)*(9.81m/s²)*(100m)

PE = 3.92x10^16J

Which of the following changes will always increase the efficiency of a thermodynamic engine? Choose all correct statements.
Ilya [14]

Answer:B,C,D

Explanation:

Thermodynamic  efficiency is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_C}{T-H}

\eta efficiency can be increased by Keeping _c constant and increasing T_H

Keeping T_H constant and decreasing T_c

by increasing \Delta T=T_H-T_c

by decreasing \frac{T_C}{T_H} ratio

What is the length of an aluminum rod at 65°C if its length at 15°C is 1.2 meters? A. 0.00180 meter B. 1.201386 meters C. 1.2
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Thermal expansion

            \Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T

L = 1.2 meter

ΔT = 65 - 15 = 50°C

Thermal Expansion Coefficient for aluminum, α = 24 x 10⁻⁶/°C

We have change in length

          \Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T=1.2\times 24\times 10^{-6}\times 50=1.44\times 10^{-3}m

New length = 1.2 + 1.44 x 10⁻³ = 1.2014 m

Option B is the correct answer.
