What is the thermal energy of an object?

Physics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
5 0
The thermal energy of an object is the energy contained in the motion and vibration of its molecules. Thermal energy is measured through temperature. The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.

A raindrop falls to the ground from a rain cloud at an altitude of 3000 meters.
shutvik [7]

Assuming the raindrop was stationary relative to the vertical distance to the ground at the start:

D=0.5at where d is distance, a is acceleration and t is time

D is 300 meters

a is 9.8 meter/sec squared

Solve for t in seconds

t = 61.2 seconds

v=at where v is velocity

a is 9.8 meters per second squared

t is 61.2 seconds

solve for v

v = 600 meters per second.

If it had an initial vertical velocity (v0) at the start :

d= 0.5at+v0t

and

v=at+v0

A car is traveling with an initial velocity of 15 m/s when the driver decides to go faster by accelerating at 5 m/s squared for
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x = 400 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equations, first, we find the final speed, and then we proceed to find the distance traveled.

v_{f}=v_{i} +(a*t)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 15 [m/s]

a = acceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

t = time = 10 [s]

Note: the positive sign in the Equation indicates that the car is accelerating, i.e. its speed is increasing.

<u>Now replacing</u>

Vf = 15 + (5*10)

Vf = 65 [m/s]

Now using the second equation:

v_{f} ^{2}= v_{i} ^{2}+(2*a*x)

where:

x = distance traveled [m]

x = (65^2 - 15^2)/ (2*5)

x = 400 [m]

A 75.0 kg sailor climbs a 28.3 m rope ladder at and angle of 45.0degrees with the mast. how much work did he do?
sladkih [1.3K]
W = m · g · h
h = 28.3 m · sin 45° = 28.3 m · 0.707 = 20 m
g = 9.8 m/s²
W = 75 kg · 9.8 m/s² · 20 m
Answer:
W = 14,700 J = 14.7 kJ

Three pendulums all have the same length and start from the same height. The first pendulum is very light and has a mass of 67 g
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

All three pendulum will attain same velocity

Explanation:

All three pendulum will attain same velocity irrespective of their mass difference in isolated system (means where air drag are negligible) and at same length

As you know when velocity is calculated we can not take mass into account.
