If a ping pong ball and a golf ball are both moving in the same direction with the same amount of kinetic energy, the speed of t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.

How are mass, distance and gpe related
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.

The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.

¿Qué cantidad de calor absorbió una masa de 4 g de cinc al pasar de 20 °C a<br> 180 °C?
Alborosie

(amount of heat)Q = ? , (Mass) m= 4 g , ΔT = T f - T i = 180 c° - 20 °c = 160 °c ,

Ce = 0.093 cal/g. °c

Q = m C ΔT

Q = 4 g × 0.093 cal/g.c° × ( 180 °c- 20 °c )

Q= 4×0.093 × 160

Q = 59.52 cal

I hope I helped you^_^

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

0.56 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the number of moles of the gas.

We know that

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

Mm=44.0 g/mol is the molar mass of the carbon dioxide

So, the number of moles of the gas is

n=\frac{m}{M_m}=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.023 mol

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas equation:

pV=nRT

where

p is the pressure

V=1.00 L = 0.001 m^3 is the volume

n = 0.023 mol is the number of moles

R=8.314 J/mol K is the gas constant

T=25.0^{\circ}+273=298 K is the temperature of the gas

Solving the equation for p, we find

p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.023 mol)(8.314 J/mol K)(298 K)}{0.001 m^3}=5.7 \cdot 10^4 Pa

And since we have

1 atm = 1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa

the pressure in atmospheres is

p=\frac{5.7\cdot 10^4 Pa}{1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa/atm}=0.56 atm
