A father (75 kg) was standing watching TV, minding his own business when one of his kids (20 kg) approached him at 2m/s heading

at 0 degrees and jumped onto his back. Another kid (15 kg) approached him at 3m/s heading at 45 degrees to the first kid and also jumped on him at exactly the same time. Immediately after impact, in what direction did the group go (measured in degrees with respect to the first kid)

Answer:

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum

Let's say the first child was headed north

North momentum

75(0) + 20(2) + 15(3sin45) = (75 + 20 + 15)vn

vn = 0.6529 m/s

East momentum

75(0) + 20(0) + 15(3cos45) = (75 + 20 + 15)ve

ve = 0.28927 m/s

θ = arctan(0.28927/0.6529)

θ = 23.896...

θ = 24° east of north

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go up in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? If I were to fill
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

a. It would shrink

b. It would expand

Explanation:

a. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, when we go up in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go higher. Since the atmospheric pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the atmosphere are greater than that exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle, this causes the volume of the water bottle to decrease and thus shrinks the water bottle until the pressure balances out

b. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure increases with decreasing altitude, when we go down in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go lower. The water bottle expands until the atmospheric pressure outside equals the pressure inside the water bottle.this causes the volume of the water bottle to increase and thus expands the water bottle until the pressure balances out
