Answer:

B

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed).

A spring with constant k = 78 N/m is at the base of a frictionless, 30.0°-inclined plane. A 0.50-kg block is pressed against the
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

   Spring constant (k) = 78 N/m,     \theta = 30^{o}

 Mass of block (m) = 0.50 kg

According to the formula of energy conservation,

                mgh sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

       h = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{kx^{2}}{mg Sin \theta}

          = \frac{78 \times 0.04}{2 \times 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.5}

          = 0.64 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance traveled by the block is 0.64 m.

Part A What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 227 g block of copper at 283 °C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter
stellarik [79]

Answer:

T = 20.84°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

Heat Lost by Copper Block = Heat Gained by Aluminum Calorimeter + Heat Gained by Water

m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w + m_aC_a\Delta T_a

where,

m_c = mass of copper = 227 g

m_w = mass of water = 844 g

m_a = mass of aluminum = 155 g

C_c = specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 385 J/kg.°C

C_w = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C

C_a = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 890 J/kg.°C

\Delta T_c = change in temperature of copper = 283°C - T

\Delta T_w = change in temperature of water = T - 14.6°C

\Delta T_a = change in temperature of aluminum = T - 14.6°C

T = equilibrium temperature = ?

Therefore,

(227\ g)(385\ J/kg.^oC)(283^oC-T)=(844\ g)(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)+(155\ g)(890\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)\\\\24732785\ J - (87395\ J/^oC) T = (3544800\ J/^oC) T - 51754080\ J+ (137950\ J/^oC) T-2014070\ J\\\\24732785\ J +51754080\ J+2014070\ J = (3544800\ J/^oC) T+(137950\ J/^oC+(87395\ J/^oC) T\\\\78560935\ J = (3770145\ J/^oC) T\\\\T = \frac{78560935\ J}{3770145\ J/^oC}

<u>T = 20.84°C</u>

1.) A stone falls from rest from the top of a cliff.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

ignore air resistance

Let t be the time of fall for the dropped stone.

½(9.8)t² = 43.12(t - 2.2) + ½(9.8)(t - 2.2)²

4.9t² = 43.12t - 94.864 + 4.9(t² - 4.4t + 4.84)

4.9t² = 43.12t - 94.864 + 4.9t² - 21.56t + 23.716

     0 = 21.56t - 71.148

t = 71.148/21.56 = 3.3 s

h = ½(9.8)3.3² = 53.361 = 53 m

or

h = 43.12(3.3 - 2.2) + ½(9.8)(3.3 - 2.2)² = 53.361 = 53 m
