Answer:

elastic energy

Explanation:

When a gymnast falls on a trampoline from a height, after coming in contact with the trampoline, both the gymnast and the trampoline start to move down due to the elastic property of the trampoline.

During this stretching of the trampoline there comes a maximum point up to which the trampoline is stretched. At this point, both the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy of the gymnast are zero due to zero speed and zero height, respectively.

The only energy stored in the gymnast's body at this point is the elastic potential energy due to stretching of the trampoline. Hence,the correct option is:

<u>elastic energy</u>

How many coulombs of positive charge are there in 47.0 gm of plutonium, given its atomic mass is 244 and that each plutonium ato
enot [183]

Answer:

  • 1.78×10⁶ C

Explanation:

Using the atomic mass of pluonium atoms (244 g/mol), you can calculate the number of atoms in 47.0 g. Then, knowing that each plutonium atom has 96 protons, you calculate the number of protons in the 47.0 g sample. Finally, using the positive charge of one proton, you calculate the total positive charge in the 47.0 g of plutonium.

<u>1. Number of atoms of plutonium in 47.0 g</u>

  • Number of moles = mass / atomic mass = 47.0 g / 244 = 0.1926 moles

  • Number of atoms = number of moles × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

  • Number of atoms = 0.1926 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol = 1.15998×10²³ atoms

<u>2. Number of protons</u>

  • Number of protons = 1.15998×10²³ atoms × 96 protons/atom = 1.11385×10²⁵ protons

<u>3. Charge</u>

<u />

  • Charge = charge of one proton × number of protons

  • Charge = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C/proton × 1.11385×10²⁵ protons = 1.78×10⁶C

1. State the law of conservation of energy and what it means for you as a human considering how energy works.
Arturiano [62]

Answer: 1. The law of consevation of energy sates that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed or transfered from one form to another. The law of conservation of energy is found everywhere for example, Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

2. Different forms of energy are related because energy cannot be created or destroyed. they can all be transformed into from one form to another.

A 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 degree C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum? Express
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

Explanation:

We have the equation for energy

      E = mcΔT

Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg

ΔT = T - 27.5

Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K

E = 725 J

Substituting

     E = mcΔT

     725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)

     T - 27.5 = 14.31

     T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

2. A can filled with sand has a mass of 0.65kg is swung overhead in a horizontal circle of radius 0.70m at a constant rate of 2.
Aliun [14]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

≈ 5 Kgm²/sec

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Angular momentum is given by the formula

L = Iω, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular speed.

I = mr², where m is the mass and r is the radius

 = 0.65 × 0.7²

 = 0.3185

Angular speed, ω = v/r

                              = (2 × 3.142 × r × 2.5) r

                              =  15.71

Therefore;

Angular momentum =  Iω

                                 = 0.3185 × 15.71

                                 = 5.003635

                                 <u>≈ 5 Kgm²/sec</u>
