Answer:

the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter = 0.5 mm

so radius r = 0.25 mm

first we determine the volume of the ball using the following equation;

V = 4/3×πr³

we substitute

V = 4/3×π(0.25)³

V = 0.06544 mm³

Now form table 1.1 "Grain sizes" a metal with grain size number of 12 has about 4,200,000 grains/mm³

so;

Number of grains N = 0.06544 × 4,200,000

N = 274,848 grains

Therefore, the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Answer:

R=3818Km

Explanation:

Take a look at the picture. Point A is when you start the stopwatch. Then you stand, the planet rotates an angle α and you are standing at point B.

Since you travel 2π radians in 24H, the angle can be calculated as:

$\alpha =\frac{2*\pi *t}{24H}$ t being expressed in hours.

$\alpha =\frac{2*\pi *11.9s*1H/3600s}{24H}=0.000865rad$

From the triangle formed by A,B and the center of the planet, we know that:

$cos(\alpha )=\frac{r}{r+H}$ Solving for r, we get:

$r=\frac{H*cos(\alpha) }{1-cos(\alpha) } =3818Km$

Hello!

For the explanation of this energy conservation exercise, where we'll use energy conservation law, let's see what this principle proposes.

How you should know, mechanical energy conserves in every point, that is to say mechanical energy is same in A point like B point. (Mechanical energy will be represented by "Me")

Once time we know that, let's take the 220 Joules momentum like A point, and when 55 Joules momentum like B point.

Then, let's use the energy conservation principle:

Me(A) = Me(B)

We know Mechanical energy in A point, so just lets replace according to our data:

220 J = Me(B)

In B point, we know kinetic energy, but we dont know gravitational potential energy, so lets descompose Mechanical energy, into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

220 J = Ke + Gpe

We know kinetic energy value, so lets replace it:

220 J = 55 J + Gpe

Finally, just clean Gpe and resolve it:

Gpe = 220 J - 55 J = 165 J

Gravitational potential energy is of One hundred sixty five Joules (165 J).

Answer:

When the heat is heated it will be melted of ice, why it still remain at a constant temperature of 0◦ C.

Explanation:

Solution

The heat given by the heater will be used in melting of the ice, therefore the temperature will remain the same at the degree of 0◦ C.

After the ice is fully melted, the temperature of water will begin to increase with time.
