Andre is studying snails and how fast they travel. He observes three groups of snails containing four snails each. Here are the

recorded observations from Andre’s notebook: Group A Snails averaged a speed of 4.7cm/min in a petri dish. Group B Snails averaged a speed of 2.8 cm/min on sandpaper. Group C Snails averaged a speed of 3.3 cm/min in the dirt. Based on this data, what is affecting the snails’ speed?

The material that the snails are moving on affects their speed. On a smooth material, (petri dish) the snails moved the fastest. On a rough material (sandpaper) the snails moved the slowest. On dirt, a compromise between smooth and rough, the snails moved at a medium pace. The material and possibly friction affect this.

A 2.3 kg block of copper is heated at atmospheric pressure such that its temperature increases from 6 oC to 90 oC. How much heat
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the  heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat applied to a system is the difference between the initial and final energy considering that the mass and the specific heat do not change so we can infer the following equation

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Where

Q=heat

m=mass=2.3kg

Cp=0.092 kcal/(kg C)=384.93J/kgK

T2=Final temperatura= 90C

T1= initial temperature=6 C

solving

Q=(2.3kg)(384.93\frac{J}{kgC} )(90C-6C)=74368.476J

the  heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

When a car slows down suddenly, passengers in the car tend to move toward the front of the car. What is this due to?
Neko [114]
Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.

A 61 kg skater is traveling at 2.5 m/s while carrying a 4.0 kg bowling ball. After he throws the bowling ball forward at twice t
gregori [183]

The final velocity of the skater is 2.34 m/s forward

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system before and after the ball is thrown must be conserved, in absence of external forces.

Before the ball is thrown, the total momentum is:

p_i = (M+m)u

where

M = 61 kg is the mass of the skater

m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 2.5 m/s (forward) is the combined velocity of the skater and the ball

After, the ball is thrown at twice the velocity, so the final total momentum is

p_f = MV+mv

where

V is the final velocity of the skater

v = 2(2.5) = 5.0 is the final velocity of the ball

Since the total momentum must be conserved, we can write

p_i = p_f\\(M+m)u = MV+mv\\V=\frac{(M+m)u-mv}{M}=\frac{(61+4.0)(2.5)-(4.0)(5.0)}{61}=2.34 m/s

So, the skater is moving at 2.34 m/s (forward) after the shot.
