Answer:

The correct answer is option B. coal

Explanation:

Coal is made of remains of organic material including trees and other vegetation which got trapped beneath the earth’s surface or at the bottom of the swamps. After burial below the ground the organic material was acted upon by the high temperature and pressure in the absence of air to form peat. Peat after further processing for a longer period of time converted into coal

Dane is holding an 8 kilogram box 2 metres above the ground. How much energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy stor

9966 [12]

156.8 Joules of energy is in the box's gravitational potential energy store

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>Given:</em>

Mass of the box Dane is holding = 8 Kilograms

Height at which Dane is holding the box above the ground= 2 metres

<em>To Find:</em>

Gravitational potential energy in the box=?

<em>Solution:</em>

gravitational potential energy is the work done per mass on a object to move that object from one fixed location to to another location against gravity.Its unit is joules or J

Thus Gravitational potential energy is represented as,

$PE_g=mgh$

where

$PE_g$ is the gravitational potential energy

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the gravitational force( 9.8 $m/s^2$ )

Now substituting the given values,

$PE_g=8\times 9.8\times 2$

$PE_g=156.8 Joules$

Some plants disperse their seeds when the fruit splits and contracts, propelling the seeds through the air. The trajectory of th

Anton [14]

Answer:

Option B, 93 cm

Explanation:

An diagram of the seed's motion is attached to this solution.

This is very close to a projectile motion question. And the quantity to be calculated, how far along the grant a seed released would travel is called the Range.

And this would be obtained from the equations of motion,

First of, the height of the plant is related to some quantities of the motion with this relation.

H = u(y) t + 0.5g(t^2)

U(y) = initial vertical component of velocity = 0 m/s, H = height at which motion began, = 20cm = 0.2 m

That means t = √(2H/g)

The horizontal distance covered, R,

R = u(x) t + 0.5g(t^2) = u(x) t (the second part of the equation goes to zero as the vertical component of the acceleration of this motion is 0)

(substituting the t = √(2H/g) derived from above

R = u(x) √(2H/g)

Where u(x) = the initial horizontal component of the bomb's velocity = maximum initial speed, that is, 4.6 m/s, H = vertical height at which the seed was released = 20 cm = 0.2 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2

R = 4.6 √(2×0.2/9.8) = 0.929 m = 0.93 m = 93 cm. Option B.

There is a distinction between average speed and the magnitude of average velocity. Give an example that illustrates the differe

Usimov [2.4K]

An example that illustrates the difference is the circular motion

Explanation:

Let's start by reminding the definition of the two quantities:

- Speed is a scalar quantity that tells "how fast" an object is moving, regardless of its direction of motion.

Speed can be calculate as:

$speed = \frac{d}{t}$

where:

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

- Velocity is instead a vector quantity, given by:

$velocity = \frac{d}{t}$

where;

d is the displacement of the object (displacement is a a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion)

t is the time taken

Since it is a vector, velocity has both a magnitude and a direction, therefore it also takes into account the direction of motion of the object.

For an object in motion in a straight line, speed and velocity are the same. However, this is not always the case.

In fact, an example of motion in which the two quantities are different is the circular motion. Consider for example the object making one complete revolution along the circle. Therefore, its average speed is the ratio between the length of the perimeter (the distance) divided by the time taken:

$speed = \frac{2\pi r}{t}$

where r is the radius of the circle.

However, the displacement of the object is zero (because the object returns to the starting point), and so the average velocity is also zero:

$velocity = \frac{0}{t}=0$

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

$m_i$ = Mass of ice = 50 g

$T_i$ = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

$L_f$ = Latent heat of fusion = $3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C$

$m_w$ = Mass of water = 200 g

$c_w$ = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

$m_{Al}$ = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

$c_{Al}$ = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

$m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C$

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

You hang different masses M from the lower end of a vertical spring and measure the period T for each value of M. You use Excel

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

a)693.821N/m

b)17.5g

Explanation:

We the Period T we can find the constant k,

That is

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

squaring on both sides,

$T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{k}M +\frac{4\pi^2}{k}m_{spring}$

where,

M=hanging mass, m = spring mass,

k =spring constant

T =time period

a) So for the equation we can compare, that is,

$y=T^2=0.0569x+0.0010$

the hanging mass M is x here, so comparing the equation we know that

$\frac{4\pi^2}{k}=0.0569\\k= \frac{4\pi^2}{0.0569}\\k=693.821N/m$

b) In order to find the mass of the spring we make similar process, so comparing,

$\frac{4\pi^2}{k}m =0.001\\m=\frac{0.004k}{4\pi^2} =\frac{0.001*693.821}{4\pi^2}\\m=0.0175kg\\m=17.5g$
