GrogVix [38]2 years ago

Answer:

1. Potential energy is converted into <em>kinetic</em> <em>energy</em> since they are in motion.

2. As they slope down, work is done against the <em>dissipative forces</em> e.g; Air resistance, viscosity ( friction ). Hence energy is lost.

3. <em>Different weights and heights</em> at which they started sloping.

potential \: energy = mgh

where <em>m</em><em>g</em><em> </em>is the weight.

<em>h</em><em> </em>is the height moved

therefore, weight and height determines the potential energy.

While traveling from Boston to Hartford, Person A drives at a constant speed of 55 mph for the entire trip. Person B drives at 6
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B will take 1.034 times the time of A from Boston to Hartford.

Explanation:

Let the distance from Boston to Hartford be S.

Person A drives at a constant speed of 55 mph for the entire trip,

Time taken by person A

             t_A=\frac{S}{55}

Person B drives at 65 mph for half the distance and then drives 45 mph for the second half of the distance.

Time taken by person B

            t_B=\frac{\frac{S}{2}}{65}+\frac{\frac{S}{2}}{45}=\frac{S}{130}+\frac{S}{90}=\frac{220S}{130\times 90}=\frac{11S}{585}

Ratio of time of arrival of B to A

                      \frac{t_B}{t_A}=\frac{\frac{11S}{585}}{\frac{S}{55}}=\frac{121}{117}=1.034

B will take 1.034 times the time of A from Boston to Hartford.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 90.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Vertical distance=  3.3803ft

Explanation:

First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:

Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h

Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h

time=  0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s

With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:

Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m

Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft

This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.

The constant pressure molar heat capacity, C_{p,m}C p,m ​ , of nitrogen gas, N_2N 2 ​ , is 29.125\text{ J K}^{-1}\text{ mol}^{-1
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Constant pressure molar heat capacity Cp = 29.125 J /K.mol

If Cv be constant volume molar heat capacity

Cp - Cv = R

Cv = Cp - R

= 29.125 - 8.314 J

= 20.811 J

change in internal energy = n x Cv x Δ T

n is number of moles , Cv is molar heat capacity at constant volume ,  Δ T is change in temperature

Putting the values

= 20 x 20.811 x 15

= 6243.3 J.
