Which statement accurately describes what happens when water turns to steam in terms of energy?

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is D. The water absorbs energy which causes the water molecules to have more kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from a liquid to a gas.

The river narrows at a rapids from a width of 12 m to a width of only 5.8 m. The depth of the river before the rapids is 2.7 m;

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

7.89 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Width of the river, b1 = 12 m

Width of the river, b2 = 5.8 m

Depth of the river, d1 = 2.7 m

Depth of the river, d2 = 0.85 m

Speed of the river, v1 = 1.2 m/s

Speed of the river, v2 = ?

Area of the river before the rapid, a1 = 12 * 2.7 = 32.4 m²

Area of the river after the rapid, a2 = 5.8 * 0.85 = 4.93 m²

To solve this question, we use a relation between the speed of the river and the volume of the river. We say,

Area1 * velocity1 = Area2 * velocity2, and when we substitute the values for each other we have

32.4 * 1.2 = 4.93 * v2

38.88 = 4.93v2

v2 = 38.88 / 4.93

v2 = 7.89 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the river after the rapid is 7.89 m/s

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh. It slows down as it rolls. That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way. That takes energy. To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy. When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.

If the mass of an object is 8 kg and its momentum is -80 kgm/s, what is its velocity?

Dimas [21]

An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

p = -80kg×m/s

m = 8kg

Plug in these values and solve for v:

-80 = 8v

v = -10m/s

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin

leva [86]

<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
solving
v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
speed= 42.63 m/s
if angle is asked
angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>

A car is traveling north at 17.7 m/s . After 6 it’s velocity is 141 in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction of t

Furkat [3]

By equation of motion we have v = u + at

Where u = Initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time taken and a = acceleration

Here v = 141 m/s, u = 17.7 m/s and t = 6 s

On substitution we will get

141 = 17.7+ 6a

So, a = (141-17.7)/6 = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$

Aceeleration = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$ along north direction.
