A cat, walking along the window ledge of a new york apartment, knocks off a flower pot, which falls to the street 280 feet below

. how fast is the flower pot traveling when it hits the street? (give your answer in ft/s and in mi/hr, given that the acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s2 and 1 ft/s = 15/22 mi/hr.)

H = 280 ft, the height of the flower pot.
g = 32 ft/s²

Neglect air resistance.
Note that 1 ft/s = 15/22 mi/h

The initial vertical velocity is zero.
Let v =  the velocity with which the flower pot hits the ground.
Then
v² = 2gh
    = 2*(32 ft/s²)*(280 ft)
    = 17920 (ft/s)²
v = 133.866 ft/s

Also,
v = (133.866 ft/s)*(15/22 (mi/h)/(ft/s)) = 91.272 mi/h

Answer:  133.9 ft/s or 91.3 mi/h

How does the work required to accelerate a particle from 10 m/s to 20 m/s compare to that required to accelerate it from 20 m/s
poizon [28]

To solve this problem we will apply the energy conservation theorem for which the work applied on a body must be equivalent to the kinetic energy of this (or vice versa) therefore

W = \Delta KE

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

Here,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = Velocity (Final and initial)

First case) When the particle goes from 10m/s to 20m/s

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(10)^2

W_1 = 150(m) J

Second case) When the particle goes from 20m/s to 30m/s

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(30)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2

W_1 = 250(m) J

As the mass of the particle is the same, we conclude that more energy is required in the second case than in the first, therefore the correct answer is A.

Which of the following statement(s) about energy and phase is/are correct? Select all that apply. Choose one or more: A. While o
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Option (A) and (D) are the correct statements.

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to its position. Whereas kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to  the motion of its molecules.

When there will be only one phase present then addition or removal of energy will lead to change in kinetic energy of the substance but no change in potential energy will take place.

Whereas if change in phase is occurring then adding or removing any energy will lead to change in potential energy of the substance while kinetic energy will remain the same.

Thus, we can conclude that correct statements are as follows.

  • While only one phase is present, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.
  • During a phase change, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.

What is normalization ​
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Normalization is a systematic approach of decomposing tables to eliminate data redundancy. It is a multi-step process that puts data into tabular form, removing duplicated data from the relation tables.

The charged particles in the beams that Thomson studied came from atoms. As these particles moved away from their original atoms
aalyn [17]

The question to the above information is;

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams?

Answer;

An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.

Explanation;

-Atoms are comprised of a nucleus consisting of protons (red) and neutrons (blue). The number of orbiting electrons is the same as the number of protons and is termed the "atomic number" of the element.

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

  • atoms are spheres of positive charge
  • electrons are dotted around inside
