Their 'degrees' are the same size. The difference between the Celsius
and Kelvin scales is their zero-point. Zero Kelvin is the absolute zero of
nature and Physics. Zero Celsius is the melting/freezing point of water,
273.15 higher than absolute zero.
Answer:
c. 1600J
Explanation:
The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:
where
m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)
Substituting, we find
Answer:
5.1 hours
Explanation:
The only fact we need to know about such a question is that when gazing down at the north pole, the earth spins longitudinally at 360 degrees / day in the clockwise direction.
The planet would have to spin an additional 77 ° to strike the asteroid at 25° E. If the earth rotates in 24 hours 360 degrees, then it must it rotates in 5.1 h at 77 degrees.
