Mosses don't spread by dispersing seeds; they disperse tiny spores. the spores are so small that they will stay aloft and move with the wind, but getting them to be windborne requires the moss to shoot the spores upward. some species do this by using a spore-containing capsule that dries out and shrinks. the pressure of the air trapped inside the capsule increases. at a certain point, the capsule pops, and a stream of spores is ejected upward at 3.6 m/s, reaching an ultimate height of 20 cm. a)what fraction of the initial kinetic energy is converted to the final potential energy? express your answer numerically. ufki =b)what happens to the "lost" energy? choose the correct answerit has been transformed into thermal energy of the spores and surrounding air. it has been transformed into thermal energy of the spores and potential energy of surrounding air. it has been transformed into potential energy of the spores and kinetic energy of surrounding air. it has been transformed into potential energy of the spores and surrounding air.

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter
