If a 40,000g cannon ball is 35m above the Earth's surface, how much potential energy does the cannon

How does the sun transfer energy to Earth?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

By electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

The sun transfers heat to earth via electromagnetic waves in twomajor ways:

$Radiation-$ this is the transfer of energy by invisible electromagnetic ways.

$Convection-$ The radiant sun energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This transfer of heat through movement of fluids or usually air is called convection.

You throw a tennis ball (mass 0.0570 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 15.0 m/s. Air resistance cannot be neg

Deffense [45]

Answer:195 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball $m=0.0570\ kg$

ball leaves the hand with $u=15\ m/s$

maximum height reached by ball $h=8\ m$

Initial Mechanical energy when ball just leaves the hand

$M.E._1=(P.E.+K.E.)_1$

$M.E._1=(mgh)_1+(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)_1$

considering hand to be datum so h_1=0[/tex]

so Potential energy at ground is zero

$M.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times (15)^2$

$M.E._1=6.41\ J$

Mechanical Energy at highest point

$(M.E.)_2=(P.E.+K.E.)_2$

at highest Point velocity is zero

$(M.E.)_2=mgh_2+0$

$(M.E.)_2=0.0570\times 9.8\times 8$

$(M.E.)_2=4.46\ J$

Decrease in Mechanical energy

$(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=6.41-4.46$

$(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=1.95\ J$

7) A heavy dart and a light dart are launched horizontally on a frictionless table by identical ideal springs. Both springs were

Elenna [48]

Answer:

A, B, and E

Explanation:

The springs are identical, and are compressed the same amount, so they have the same initial elastic potential energy. (E is true)

Energy is conserved, so the darts have the same amount of kinetic energy. (A is true, C is false)

The lighter dart has the same energy as the heavier dart. Since it has less mass, it must have a greater speed. (B is true, D is false)

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

Both thermometer has same ice point = $T_i\ =\ 0^o C$
Both thermometer has same steam point = $T_s\ =\ 100^o C$

Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion. Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.
