If no work is done, the total energy is not changed. In that situation, if the kinetic energy changes, what must happen to the p

Answer:

the potential energy will also change

Explanation:

kinetic energy and potential energy are inversely proportional to each other, so if kinetic energy changes, potential energy will also change..

Which of the following is not an example of a chemical reaction? Rust, Photosynthesis, Melting Ice, Heat from Fire?

FinnZ [79.3K]

Rust, photosynthesis, and heat from fire are all chemical reactions <span>because </span>new substances are formed and the chemical formula is changed. By doing this, bonds are broken and formed in the making of the new substance. Melting ice is physical change the molecules are still water molecules, it just changed physical form.

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

Tasya [4]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L$ (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz$
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L = \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2$

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) t = 3.81 s

b) vf = 37.4 m/s

Explanation:

Data

height = 71.3 m = 234 feet

t = 0 m/s

vf = ?

vo = 0 m/s

Formula

h = vot + 1/2gt²

vf = vo + gt

Process

a)

h = vot + 1/2gt²

71.3 = 0t + 1/2(9.81)t²

2(71.3) = 9,81t²

t² = 2(71.3)/9.81

t² = 14.53

t = 3.81 s

b)

vf = 0 + (9.81)(3.81)

vf = 37.4 m/s

A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the car

dusya [7]

Answer: $32.77\ mi/hr$

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is $31,500\ miles$

Final reading on the odometer is $31,713\ miles$

Time taken is $t=6.5\ hr$

average velocity $=\dfrac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{31713-31500}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{213}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=32.77\ mi/hr$

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is $32.77\ mi/hr$
