Answer:

<u>E. Hydrogen</u>

Explanation:

It is important to note that since Hydrogen is categorized as the lightest known element in the universe today. <u>It is therefore the </u><u>only </u><u>gas molecules among the listed option that would be most likely be moving at a speed high enough to escape the earth's atmosphere.</u>

Because Hydrogen has just a single proton and a single electron this makes it easy to acquire enough energy to pull the earth's gravity.

A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the stri
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

T = 8.55 N

Explanation:

When string makes an angle 40 degree with the vertical then it will have two forces on it

1) gravitational force (mg)

2) Tension force in string (T)

now we know that net force towards the center of the path is known as centripetal force and it is given as

T - mg cos40 = F_c

T - (0.40\times 9.8)cos40 = \frac{mv^2}{L}

T = 3 + \frac{0.40\times 5^2}{1.8}

T = 3 + 5.55

T = 8.55 N

In an experiment, 108 J of work was done on a closed system. During this phase of the experiment, 79 J of heat energy was added
amid [387]

Answer:

187 J

Explanation:

First Law of Thermodynamics :

ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU

ΔQ : Heat. If it added to system then positive and if it is rejected by system then negative.

ΔW : Work. If it done by the system then positive and if it is done on system then negative.

ΔU : Internal Energy. If it positive then temperature of system increased and if it is negative then temperature of system decreased.

ΔQ = 79 J

ΔW = - 108 J

ΔU = ?

substituting the value in the equation:

79 = -108 + ΔU

∴ ΔU = 187 J

A basketball player jumps 76cm to get a rebound. How much time does he spend in the top 15cm of the jump (ascent and descent)?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The time for final 15 cm of the jump equals 0.1423 seconds.

Explanation:

The initial velocity required by the basketball player to be able to jump 76 cm can be found using the third equation of kinematics as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final velocity of the player

'u' is the initial velocity of the player

'a' is acceleration due to gravity

's' is the height the player jumps

Since the final velocity at the maximum height should be 0 thus applying the values in the above equation we get

0^2=u^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.76\\\\\therefore u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.76}=3.86m/s

Now the veocity of the palyer after he cover'sthe initial 61 cm of his journey can be similarly found as

v^{2}=3.86^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.66\\\\\therefore v=\sqrt{3.86^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.66}=1.3966m/s

Thus the time for the final 15 cm of the jump can be found by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at

where symbols have the usual meaning

Applying the given values we get

t=\frac{v-u}{g}\\\\t=\frac{0-1.3966}{-9.81}=0.1423seconds
