Explanation:

The kinetic-molecular theory of gases can be stated as four postulates: A gas consists of molecules in constant random motion. Gas molecules influence each other only by collision; they exert no other forces on each other. All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic; all kinetic energy is conserved.

At Alpha Centauri's surface, the gravitational force between Alpha Centauri and a 2 kg mass of hot gas has a magnitude of 618.2

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

6.86 * 10^8 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of hot gas, m = 2 kg

Gravitational Force, F = 618.2 N

Mass of Alpha Centauri, M = 2.178 * 10^30 kg

The gravitational force between two masses (the hot gas and Alpha Centauri) , m and M, at a distance, r, given as:

F = (G*M*m) / r²

Where G = gravitational constant

Therefore,

618.2 = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 2.178 * 10^30 * 2) / r²

=> r² = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 2.178 * 10^30 * 2) / 618.2

r² = 4.699 * 10^17 m²

=> r = 6.86 * 10^8 m

We are told that the hot gas is on the surface of Alpha Centauri, hence, the distance between both their centers is the radius of Alpha Centauri.

The mean radius of Alpha Centauri is 6.86 * 10^8 m.

A pendulum is made up of a small sphere of mass 0.500 kg attached to a string of length 0.950 m. The sphere is swinging back and

Semenov [28]

Answer:

W = 0.842 J

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

W = ΔK

In this case the kinetic energy at point A is zero since the system is stopped

W = K_f (1)

now let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Highest point A

Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lowest point B

Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

mg h = K

to find the height let's use trigonometry

at point A

cos 35 = x / L

x = L cos 35

so at the height is

h = L - L cos 35

h = L (1-cos 35)

we substitute

K = m g L (1 -cos 35)

we substitute in equation 1

W = m g L (1 -cos 35)

let's calculate

W = 0.500 9.8 0.950 (1 - cos 35)

W = 0.842 J

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

$V_a$ = Velocity of airplane in still air

$V_w$ = Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

$V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)$

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

$V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)$

Subtracting the two equations we get

$V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h$

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

$V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h$

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Your oven has a power rating of 5000 watt...

romanna [79]

A). 1,000 watts = 1 kilowatt
5,000 watts = 5 kilowatts

b). (5 kilowatts) x (2 hours) = 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh)

c). (10 kWh) x (15 cents/kWh) = $1.50
