Answer:

1000 cm.

Explanation:

To obtain the estimated tree height :

(Height of rod / length of rod shadow) = (height of tree / length of tree shadow)

Substituting values into the formula :

(150cm / 120 cm) = (height of tree / 800 cm)

Using cross multiplication :

Height of tree * 120 = 150 * 800

Height of tree = (150 * 800) / 120

Height of tree = 120,000 / 120

Height of tree = 1000

Hence, estimate height of tree = 1000 cm

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.
Monica [59]
If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

What is the force of gravity (from the Earth) on the 700kg satellite if it’s 10km above the Earths surface?
joja [24]

Answer:

The force of gravity on a 700 kg satellite if its 10 km above Earth's surface is given by

    = {\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}N. m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg) }{(10\times10^3)^2} = 3984378 m / s^{2}

Explanation:

The force of gravity on a 700 kg satellite if its 10 km above Earth's surface is given by

    = {\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}N. m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg) }{(10\times10^3)^2} = 3984378 m / s^{2}

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 12.8 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 2.90 atm . Wate
exis [7]

Answer:

The velocity of water at the bottom, v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

Given:

Height of water in the tank, h = 12.8 m

Gauge pressure of water, P_{gauge} = 2.90 atm

Solution:

Now,

Atmospheric pressue, P_{atm} = 1 atm = 1.01\tiems 10^{5} Pa

At the top, the absolute pressure, P_{t} = P_{gauge} + P_{atm} = 2.90 + 1 = 3.90 atm = 3.94\times 10^{5} Pa

Now, the pressure at the bottom will be equal to the atmopheric pressure, P_{b} = 1 atm = 1.01\times 10^{5} Pa

The velocity at the top, v_{top} = 0 m/s, l;et the bottom velocity, be v_{b}.

Now, by Bernoulli's eqn:

P_{t} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{t}^{2} + \rho g h_{t} = P_{b} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{b}^{2} + \rho g h_{b}

where

h_{t} -  h_{b} = 12.8 m

Density of sea water, \rho = 1030 kg/m^{3}

\sqrt{\frac{2(P_{t} - P_{b} + \rho g(h_{t} - h_{b}))}{\rho}} =  v_{b}

\sqrt{\frac{2(3.94\times 10^{5} - 1.01\times 10^{5} + 1030\times 9.8\times 12.8}{1030}} =  v_{b}

v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

E_e = E_k

kx^2/2 = mv^2/2

120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2

15 = 0.75v^2

v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20

v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s
