Answer:

t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec   (time to swim horizontally across river)

S = 129 sec * V     where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream

The problem does not specify V the speed of the river

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

a) the distance(D) showing how dar downstream he will land can be computed as follows:

Assuming the current of the river = 0.2 m/s

D = \dfrac{180 \ m \times 0.2 \ m/s}{1.4 \ m/s}

D = 36 m ÷ 1.4

D = 25.71 m

The required time (t) to reach the other side is:

time (t) = 180 m/ 1.4 m/s

time (t) = 128.57 seconds

135g of an unknown substance gains 9133 J of heat as it is heated from 25⁰C to 100⁰C. Using the chart below, determine the ident
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The unknown substance is Aluminum.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the change in the temperature of substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 ⁰C

Final temperature (T₂) = 100 ⁰C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 100 – 25

ΔT = 75 ⁰C

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 75 ⁰C

Mass of the substance (M) = 135 g

Heat (Q) gained = 9133 J

Specific heat capacity (C) of substance =?

Q = MCΔT

9133 = 135 × C × 75

9133 = 10125 × C

Divide both side by 10125

C = 9133 / 10125

C = 0.902 J/gºC

Thus, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.902 J/gºC

Comparing the specific heat capacity (i.e 0.902 J/gºC) of substance to those given in the table above, we can see clearly that the unknown substance is aluminum.

A friend claims that throwing a baseball up towards the school roof illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The Statement is wrong because the reverse is the case as it is the  kinetic energy that is being transformed to gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

As your friend throws  the baseball into the air the ball gains an initial velocity (u) and this makes the Kinetic energy to be equal to

                    KE = \frac{1}{2} mu^2

Here  m is the mass of the baseball

       Now as this ball moves further upward the that velocity it gained reduce due to the gravitational force and this in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the ball and this kinetic energy lost is being converted to gravitational potential energy which is mathematically represented as (m×g×h)

as energy can not be destroyed but converted to a different form according to the first law of thermodynamics

Looking a the formula for gravitational potential energy we see that the higher the ball goes the grater the gravitational potential energy.
