A 2 kg object released from rest at the top of a tall cliff reaches a terminal speed of 37.5 m/s after it has fallen a height of

110 m . How much kinetic energy approximately did the air molecules gain from the falling object after it has fallen through this height?

Answer:

3562.25 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the object = 2 kg

v = speed of the object after falling through height of 110 m , = 37.5 m/s

h = height through which the object fall = 110 m

KE = Kinetic energy gained by air molecules

Kinetic energy gained by air molecules is given as

KE = (0.5) m v² + mgh

KE = (0.5) (2) (37.5)² + (2) (9.8) (110)

KE = 3562.25 J

What happens to the period of a spring-cart system motion when the system is in orbit inside the international space station?
lozanna [386]
The period of a spring-cart system motion when the system is in orbit inside the international space station will not change because in conditions of weightlessness it is not possible to measure the mass of a body from its weight and the period depends on the mass of the body.

Nate throws a ball straight up to Kayla, who is standing on a balcony 3.8 m above Nate. When she catches it, the ball is still m
marin [14]

Answer:

9.1m/s  

Explanation:

Nate throws a straight ball to Kayla who is standing at a balcony 3.8m above Nate

When she catches the ball, it is still moving upward with a speed of 2.8m/s

v = 2.8m/s

u = ?

s = 3.8m

a= -9.8(The acceleration has a negative sign because the speed of the ball is declining)    

Therefore the initial speed at which Nate threw the ball can be calculated as follows

v^2= u^2 + 2as

2.8^2= u^2 + 2(-9.8)(3.8)

7.84= u^2 + (-74.48)

7.84= u^2 - 74.48

u^2= 7.84 + 74.48

<h3 />

u^2= 82.32

u= √82.32

u = 9.1m/s    

Hence the initial speed at which Nate threw the ball is 9.1m/s

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of -2.0 µC; sphere B carries a charge of -6.0 µC;
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

None of the option is correct

A=-4µC, B=0 C, C=0 C

C will be +4.0 µC deficient after the contact

Explanation:

A and B are come in contact together, the charge will flow to establish  equilibrium, and hence becoming: A=-4µC, B=-4µC, C=+4.0 µC

Similarly when C and B touch, the positive and the negative will exact the same force due to equal charge magnitude and become electrically neutral : A=-4µC, B=0 C, C=0 C.

Choose all the answers that apply. Ecosystems _____.
lana [24]

The answers are; B, C & E.

An ecosystem defines all the organism and their interaction with their environment (inducing abiotic factors such as energy from the sun and water). Biomes (which can be defined as a part of the environment that more or less share the same environmental conditions) make up an ecosystem.

How do Leeuwenhoek’s observations of animalcules compare to Hooke’s observations of cells in the cork?
fomenos

Answer:

Robert Hooke

Was the first to use the word "cell"

Observed cork cells

Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Observed "animalcules"

Used polished lens .

Explanation:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek is known as father of microbiology. He is credited to improve the quality of lens in microscope. His first observation of organisms called animalcules.

He is credited to have build microscope that could get magnified by 200 times. He used word animalcules for small organisms from pond water when first observed in microscope. He discovered protozoa and named it animalcules".

Robert Hooke is famed for discovering cell from a cork of plant. He observed a compartment or honey comb like divisions when observed these cork cells under the microscope and named it cell. He was only able to see the cell wall as the cork cells are dead cells.
