Answer:
<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>
<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>
Explanation:
Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.
The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:
The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:
The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.
a,
The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:
t = 2.02 s
The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground
b.
The range is calculated now:
d = 20.2 m
The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff
Mass = 0.201kg
Energy = 15J
temperature change = 10C
Energy(E) = mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × temperature change(θ)
we can rearrange this to make specific heat capacity the subject
c =
c =
c =7.46268657
Energy = 15J
temperature change = 10C
Energy(E) = mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × temperature change(θ)
we can rearrange this to make specific heat capacity the subject
c =
c =
c =7.46268657
The complete sentence is:
A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation
where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
