Settlers are trying to determine the value of g on a distant planet. They throw a wrench downward from a height of 3 m. If the i

nitial speed of the wrench is 2 m/s, and the speed right before impact is 10 m/s, what is the value of g?

<h2>Value of g on the distant planet is 16 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Here initial velocity, u = 2 m/s

Final velocity, v = 10 m/s

Displacement, s = 3 m

We need to find acceleration, a.

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

10² = 2² + 2 x a x 3

6a = 96

a = 16 m/s²

Value of g on the distant planet is 16 m/s²

A rotating beacon is located 2 miles out in the water. Let A be the point on the shore that is closest to the beacon. As the bea

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that Beacon is rotating with angular speed

$f = 10 rev/min$

so we have

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(\frac{10}{60})$

$\omega = 1.047 rad/s$

now we know that

$v = r \omega$

here we will have

$r = 2 miles = 2(1609 m)$

$r = 3218 m$

so we have

$v = 3218(1.047)$

$v = 3369.2 m/s$

Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

A sailboat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.21 m/s^2 over a distance of 280 m. find the magnitude of the boat's f

sasho [114]

We use the kinematic equations,

$v=u+at$ (A)

$S= ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$ (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given, $u=0$ , $a=0.21 \ m/s^2$ and $s= 280 m$ .

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

$280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s$ .

Therefore from equation (A),

$v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s$

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s

A 120-g block of copper is taken from a kiln and quickly placed into a beaker of negligible heat capacity containing 300 g of wa

gavmur [86]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) $535^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of copper = $0.10cal/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $1.00cal/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of copper = 120 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 300 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = $35^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of copper = ?

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $15^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$120g\times 0.10cal/g^oC\times (35-T_1)^oC=-300g\times 1.00cal/g^oC\times (35-15)^oC$

$T_1=535^oC$

Therefore, the temperature of the kiln was, $535^oC$
