A teacher took two latex balloons and blew them up with helium gas to the same size. She took one and labeled it Balloon A and placed it in a -15o C freezer. The second one she labeled BALLOON B, and she took it outside and tied it to the railing in the sun on a 30o C day. After a half hour, she had the students measure the circumference of each balloon. Which TWO outcomes do you predict the students will find and why?

Balloon A will have increased in size because the molecules will gain energy and move further apart.

Balloon B will have increased in size because the molecules will gain energy and move further apart.

Balloon B will have decreased in size because the molecules will lose energy and move closer together.

Balloon A will have decreased in size because the molecules will lose energy and move closer together.

Both balloons will be the same size because they will reach the same temperature as their environment and will be in thermal equilibrium with no molecules moving.

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
