Answer:

Bromine is heavier than air in terms of its atomic weight. Look at the periodic table bromine is lower than oxygen, nitrogen, etc. bromine in its gaseous phase will still float in air. This is due to the fact that gaseous bromine takes up a wide volume of space while having little mass.

Determine the kinetic energy of a 2000 kg roller coaster car that is moving at the speed of 10 ms

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100,000 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The formula is half the product of mass and velocity squared.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

The mass of the roller coaster car is 2000 kilograms and the car is moving 10 meters per second.

m= 2000 kg
s= 10 m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (10 \ m/s)^2$

Solve the exponent.

(10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply the first two numbers together.

$E_k= 1000 \ kg \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply again.

$E_k= 100,000 \ kg*m^2/s^2$

1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
Our answer of 100,000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 100,000 Joules.

$E_k= 100,000 \ J$

The roller coaster car has 100,000 Joules of kinetic energy.

You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 7 m at your feet, then a

Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. v = 6.67 m/s

2. d = 9.54 m

Explanation:

1. To find the horizontal velocity of the rock we need to use the following equation:

$d = v*t \rightarrow v = \frac{d}{t}$

Where:

d: is the distance traveled by the rock

t: is the time

The time can be calculated as follows:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}}$

Where:

g: is gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*7 m}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.20 s$

Now, the horizontal velocity of the rock is:

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{8 m}{1.20 s} = 6.67 m/s$

Hence, the initial velocity required to barely reach the edge of the shell below you is 6.67 m/s.

2. To calculate the distance at which the projectile will land, first, we need to find the time:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(7 m + 3 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s$

So, the distance is:

$d = v*t = 6.67 m/s*1.43 s = 9.54 m$

Therefore, the projectile will land at 9.54 m of the second cliff.

I hope it helps you!

You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body

stellarik [79]

A) The change in internal chemical energy is $1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

$P=Fv$

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

$P=(80)(8.0)=640 W$

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

$t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s$ is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

$E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J$

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

$\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$
