<span>2.5 m/s going upward.
In the situation described, Erica and Danny undergo a non-elastic collision which will conserve their combined momentum. Since Erica is stationary, her momentum is 0. And since Danny is moving upward at 4.7 m/s his momentum is 43 kg * 4.7 m/s = 202.1 kg*m/s. Assuming that both Erica and Danny will be moving as a joined system, their combined mass is 38 kg + 43 kg = 81 kg. Since the momentum will be the same, their velocity will be 202.1 kg*m/s / 81 kg = 2.495061728 m/s. Since we only have 2 significant figures in the provided data, rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives a velocity of 2.5 m/s going upward.</span>
Answer:
Mercury's natural state is where the atoms are close to each other but are still free to pass by each other. In which state(s) could mercury naturally exist?
Liquid is the answer
Explanation:
Answer:
the mass of water is 0.3 Kg
Explanation:
since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:
Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)
Q water = - Q copper
since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature
and denoting w as water and co as copper :
m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)
m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]
We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C
if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)
m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]
m w= 1.80 kg * 0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))
m w= 0.3 kg
Answer:
Kinetic energy cannot be negative
potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both
Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force
Explanation:
Kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula
here we know that
m = mass of object that can not be negative
v = speed of the object and since its square is given here so it can not be negative
so Kinetic energy is always positive
potential energy is given as the energy due to the virtue of the position of object
so it is
so potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both
Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force
Force = mass × acceleration = kg × m/s^2 = Newton
