Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring air resistance the time to rise will equal the time to fall and initial velocity will be the same magnitude as final velocity just before impact.

v = at

v = 9.8(3.1)

v = 30.38

v = 30 m/s

max height can be found knowing the velocity is zero at the top of its flight.

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0.00² - 30.38²) / (2(-9.8))

s = 47.089

s = 47 m

Identify and define the four major forms of matter, explain how melting, freezing, boiling,

mina [271]

There are four forms of matter: Solid, Liquid, gas and Plasma and matter undergoes various state changes termed as melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation and deposition.

Explanation:

Solids

A matter that have a definite shape because of its closely packed molecular structure; are known as Solids. It can be identified as they have a definite shape and cannot flow or float without external forces are applied.

Liquids

These have a an internal molecular structure with comparatively more spaces with one another. Liquids have a property to flow and change shape according to the container it is taken.

Gases

The internal molecular structure of gases has the widest range of space among one another and thus they have a floating property because of least density.

Plasma

A complete ionized gas which has equal amount of positively and negatively charged ions. The best example of plasma is a plasma-ball.

Phase transformation among the four forms of matter

Melting

A matter changing from a solid phase to liquid phase is known as melting. Ex: Ice into water

Freezing

A matter changing from liquid to solid is known as freezing.

Boiling

When the liquid is heated to its boiling point, this gets transformed into the state of gas where liquid's pressure equals to the external pressure.

Evaporation

Once the liquid reached the temperature range above the boiling point ad starts converting into vapours or gaseous state.

Condensation

When the gases changes from the gaseous phase to liquid phase, this is called condensation.

Sublimation

The change of solid into gas is called as sublimation.

Deposition

Deposition refers the thermodynamic process where phase transition takes place as the gas solidifies without passing through the liquid phase. An example: the process of converting water vapour from frozen air directly into ice without initially becoming a liquid.

A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the

Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight ( $W=mg$ ): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force ( $F_A$ ): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag ( $R$ ): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$F_{net}$ is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

$a=3.1 m/s^2$ is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

$F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N$

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

$F_{net}=F_a-R$

where:

$F_{net}$ is the net force

$F_a$ is the applied force (forward)

$R$ is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

$F_{net}=186 N$ is the net force (found in part b)

$R=60 N$ is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for $F_a$ , we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

$F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N$

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

$v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}$

$v_{avg} = 5m/s$

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

$V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}$

$5 = 9 - v_{wind}$

$v_{wind}= 4 m/s$

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

$v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}$

$v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s$

now we can find the time to go back

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \frac{6000}{13}$

$time = 7.7 minutes$

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min$

now when there is no wind total time is given by

$T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}$

$T = 22.22 min$

So due to wind time will be more

Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)

so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J
