Here's a formula that's so useful, you should memorize it:

Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time squared)

On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

Height of the bridge over the canyon =

Distance the truck falls = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (33 sec)²

Distance = (4.9 m/s²) · (1,089 sec²)

Distance = 5,336 meters

How much energy is needed to melt 5 g of ice? The specific latent heat of melting for water is 334000 J/kg.
Katen [24]

Answer:

The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ice = 5 g

Specific latent heat = 334000 J/kg

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of energy

Q=mL

Where, m = mass

L = latent heat

Put the value into the formula

Q=5\times10^{-3}\times334000

Q=1670\ J

Hence, The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be \frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So Q=450j

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency \eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine =\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171

Efficiency of Carnot engine is \eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Why wil an ice cube melt if it is compressed even if it remains at the same temp
Gnoma [55]
No, it will only melt if the temperature is lowered. If you compress it, it will change the shape, but it will not change the state it is in (i.e. solid).

Determine the position in the oscillation where an object in simple harmonic motion: (Be very specific, and give some reasoning
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The greatest speed is attained at middle point or equilibrium point or where displacement from equilibrium point is zero .

When the object remains at one of the extreme point it experiences greatest acceleration but at that point velocity is zero . Due to acceleration , its velocity goes on increasing till it come to equilibrium point . At this point acceleration becomes zero . After that its velocity starts decreasing because of negative acceleration . Hence at middle point velocity is maximum .

The greatest acceleration is attained at maximum displacement or at one of the two extreme end .

Greatest restoring force too will be at position where acceleration is maximum because acceleration is produced by restoring force .

Restoring force is proportional to displacement or extension against restoring force . So it will be maximum when displacement is maximum .

Zero restoring force exists at equilibrium position or middle point or at point where displacement is zero . It is so because acceleration at that point is zero .

Joey, whose mass is m = 36 kg, stands at rest at the outer edge of a frictionless merry-go-round with the mass M = 300 kg and th
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

\omega=0.24\ rad.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of person, m=36\ kg

mass of merry go-round, M=300\ kg

radius of merry go-round, R=2\ m

velocity of the person running, v=4\ m.s^{-1}

<u>We consider merry go-round as a ring:</u>

Now the moment of inertial of the ring is given as,

I=M.R^2

I=300\times 2^2

I=1200\ kg.m^{-2}

<u>Moment of inertia of the person considering as a point mass:</u>

I_p=m.R^2

I_p=36\times 2^2

I_p=144\ kg.m^2

<u>Now according to the conservation of angular momentum:</u>

I.\omega=I_p.\omega_p

where:

\omega = angular velocity of the merry-go-round

\omega_p= angular velocity of the person running

1200\times \omega=144\times \frac{v}{R}

\omega=\frac{144}{1200} \times \frac{4}{2}

\omega=0.24\ rad.s^{-1}
