Answer:

m = 0.51[kg]

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.

$E_{pot}=m*g*h$

where:

Epot = potential energy = 15 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 3 [m]

Now replacing:

$E_{pot}=m*g*h\\15=m*9.8*3\\m = 0.51[kg]$

A 50,0 g silver spoon at 20.0°C is placed in a cup of coffee at

My name is Ann [436]

The heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is 817.65 J.

<h3>Heat capacity of the silver spoon</h3>

The heat capacity of theb silver spoon is the quantity of heat absorbed by the silver spoon. The heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔθ

where;

m is mass of the spoon
c is specific heat capacity of silver = 0.237 J/g⁰C
Δθ is change in temperature

Q = 50 x 0.237 x (89 - 20)

Q = 817.65 J

Thus, the heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is 817.65 J.

Two forces Upper FSubscript Upper A Baseline Overscript right-arrow EndScripts and Upper FSubscript Upper B Baseline Overscript

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_A = 4.59 N$

Part B)

$F_B = 1.28 N$

Explanation:

As we know that when both the forces are acting on the object in same direction then we will have

$F_A + F_B = ma$

as we know that

$a = 0.554 m/s^2$

m = 10.6 kg

now we will have

$F_A + F_B = 10.6(0.554)$

$F_A + F_B = 5.87 N$

Now two forces are in opposite direction then we have

$F_A - F_B = 10.6(0.313)$

$F_A - F_B = 3.32 N$

Part A)

Now we will have from above two equation

$F_A = 4.59 N$

Part B)

Similarly for other force we have

$F_B = 1.28 N$

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}$

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

$t=\frac{d}{s}$

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

$d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s$

$t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}$

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

$t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}$

$t=3.6 \ s$

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.
