In the absence of air resistance ...

-- The ball has no horizontal acceleration at any point in its flight.

-- The ball's vertical acceleration is 9.8 meters per second-squared downward
at every point its flight, from the moment it leaves the toe of the kicker until it hits
the ground.

Why does the hood of a car heat up after the car has been running for a while? A) According to the fourth law of thermodynamics,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

C) According to the second law of thermodynamics, not all energy from the burnt fuel is used to do work on the piston. It also produces heat which warms other parts of the car.  

Explanation:

A) According to the fourth law of thermodynamics, the temperature of the other parts of the car increases due to the coolant used for the engine.  

B) According to the first law of thermodynamics, the hood of the car heats up using heat from the surroundings in-order to achieve thermal equilibrium with the engine.  

C) According to the second law of thermodynamics, not all energy from the burnt fuel is used to do work on the piston. It also produces heat which warms other parts of the car.  

D) According to the third law of thermodynamics, the increase in the velocity of the car changes the entropy of the tires. To balance this change, the temperature of the other parts is increased.

Definition These are the components of the reservoirs of oxygen that are exchanged in our environment.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Oxygen cycle

Explanation:

The components of the reservoirs of oxygen that are exchange in our environment is the oxygen cycle

It suggests the movement of oxygen between the living and non-living parts.

  • The cycle does not account for oxygen that is trapped and cannot be exchanged in nature.
  • Oxygen is important component of the atmosphere.
  • Gaseous exchange between living organisms and atmosphere involves oxygen to a very large extent.

A 0.500-kg glider, attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant undergoes shm with an amplitude of 0.040 m. comput
Nikitich [7]
There is a missing data in the text of the problem (found on internet):
"with force constant<span> k=</span>450N/<span>m"

a) the maximum speed of the glider

The total mechanical energy of the mass-spring system is constant, and it is given by the sum of the potential and kinetic energy:
</span>E=U+K=  \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2
<span>where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the glider with respect to the spring equilibrium position
m is the glider mass
v is the speed of the glider at position x

When the glider crosses the equilibrium position, x=0 and the potential energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy and the speed of the glider is maximum:
</span>E=K_{max} =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2
<span>Vice-versa, when the glider is at maximum displacement (x=A, where A is the amplitude of the motion), its speed is zero (v=0), therefore the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy:
</span>E=U_{max}= \frac{1}{2}k A^2
<span>
Since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write
</span>\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 =  \frac{1}{2}kA^2
<span>from which we find the maximum speed
</span>v_{max}= \sqrt{ \frac{kA^2}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(450 N/m)(0.040 m)^2}{0.500 kg} }=  1.2 m/s
<span>
b) </span><span> the </span>speed<span> of the </span>glider<span> when it is at x= -0.015</span><span>m

We can still use the conservation of energy to solve this part. 
The total mechanical energy is:
</span>E=K_{max}=  \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J
<span>
At x=-0.015 m, there are both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is
</span>U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(450 N/m)(-0.015 m)^2=0.05 J
<span>And since 
</span>E=U+K
<span>we find the kinetic energy when the glider is at this position:
</span>K=E-U=0.36 J - 0.05 J = 0.31 J
<span>And then we can find the corresponding velocity:
</span>K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
v=  \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.31 J}{0.500 kg} }=1.11 m/s
<span>
c) </span><span>the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider;
</span>
For a simple harmonic motion, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is given by
a_{max} = \omega^2 A
where \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} } is the angular frequency, and A is the amplitude.
The angular frequency is:
\omega =  \sqrt{ \frac{450 N/m}{0.500 kg} }=30 rad/s
and so the maximum acceleration is
a_{max} = \omega^2 A = (30 rad/s)^2 (0.040 m) =36 m/s^2

d) <span>the </span>acceleration<span> of the </span>glider<span> at x= -0.015</span><span>m

For a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is given by
</span>a(t)=\omega^2 x(t)
<span>where x(t) is the position of the mass-spring system. If we substitute x(t)=-0.015 m, we find 
</span>a=(30 rad/s)^2 (-0.015 m)=-13.5 m/s^2
<span>
e) </span><span>the total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion. </span><span>

we have already calculated it at point b), and it is given by
</span>E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J
