Answer:

Explanation:

A classic projectile motion question. Horizontal motion does not matter whatsoever in the context of this equation as we are looking at the vertical component of velocity only. Since the question states that it is fired horizontally, there is no vertical component of velocity. Thus, v0y = 0.

Assuming the projectile is on the Earth, we can use the free-fall acceleration, 9.8 m/s^2.

The question gives us Δy, which is 37.3m.

Using the second kinematics equation, Δy = v0t + (at^2)/2, we can substitute in the values.

37.3 = 0 + 0.5(9.8)t^2

37.3 = 4.9t^2

7.61224489796 = t^2

t = 2.75902970226 seconds.

Why do things become hot or cold? Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

Explanation:

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

$m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg$

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

$U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J$

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

$K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T$

Whereas $N_A$ stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

$K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J$

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.

You are on a Parkour course. First you climb a angled wall up 9.5 meters. They you shimmy along the edge of a 3.5 meter long wal

makvit [3.9K]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters

Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds

Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)

Average speed = 0.65 meters/second
