This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy.

The data shown by the bar graph is "valid".

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system must remain constant at any given point. Hence, the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the roller coaster must be constant at any given time.

Considering the bottom of the first hill:

Total Energy at 1st Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

From the data given in the bar graph:

Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J + 0 J (since at the bottom potential energy is zero due to zero height)

Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J

Now, considering the top of the second hill:

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

From the data given in the bar graph:

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 1,000,000 J + 1,500,000 J

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 2,500,000 J

Hence,

Total Energy at 1st Hill = Total Energy at 2nd Hill

Therefore, the given bar graph is "valid".

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen
marta [7]

Answer:

24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

N_A = Avogadro's constant = 6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{N}{N_A}

\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

The number of atoms is 24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

a flowerpot falls from a windowsill 25m above the sidewalk how fast is the flowerpot moving when it strikes the ground
Mariana [72]

s = 25m

v = ?

a = 9.81m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2x9.81x25

v² = 490.5

v = √490.5

= 22.15m/s
