Answer:

All matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. The motion of the particles results in kinetic energy. The part of total internal energy that can be transferred is thermal energy. As temperature increases, the particles in a substance move faster and have greater kinetic and thermal energy.

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's in motion, and thermal energy is heat energy. In this case when the heat rises in substances for example a solid it will transform into a liquid causing the molecules to move faster which is a increase of kinetic energy.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Levart [38]

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.

A curtain hangs straight down in front of an open window. A sudden gust of wind blows past the window; and the curtain is pulled

VikaD [51]

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B.

The phenomenon of the curtains to pull out of the window can be explained using Bernoulli's equation.

According to Bernoulli's Principle when the speed of the moving fluid increases the pressure within the fluid decrease.

When wind flows in the outside window the pressure outside window decreases and pressure inside the room is more so, the curtain moves outside because of low pressure.

How much power does it take to lift a 24 kg gift box 6m above the floor in 4 s?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

given

mass m= 24kg

distance moved= 6m

time taken= 4seconds

Step two:

Required

power

but work done is the force applied at a distance, and the power is the work done time the time taken

Work done= F*D

F=mg

W= mg*D

W=24*9.81*6

W=1412.6J

Power P= work * time

P=1412.6*4

p=5650.5W

P=5.6kW

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. he then falls onto a thick pad. the top of

scZoUnD [109]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect wind resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter falls with an initial vertical velocity of u = 0.
If the velocity upon hitting the pad is v, then
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

The pole vaulter comes to res after the pad compresses by 50 cm (or 0.5 m).
If the average acceleration (actually deceleration) is (a m/s²), then
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.5 m)
a = - 82.32/(2*0.5) = - 82 m/s²

Answer: - 82 m/s² (or a deceleration of 82 m/s²)
