B. Distance

A light-year has a bit of a deceiving name. Despite the fact that it seems to imply it is a measure of time, this is not of fact correct. A light-year refers to how far light can travel within a year. One light year is approximately 6 trillion miles. Light years are used to measure extremely far distances such as how far the sun is from other stars, or how far away other exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are.

Five metal samples, with equal masses, are heated to 200oC. Each solid is dropped into a beaker containing 200 ml 15oC water. Wh
Ksju [112]
Part 1) Which metal will cool the fastest?
To answer this question, we should have a look at the formula of the heat flow rate, which says "how fast" a material is able to heat/cool:
\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}  = -k  \frac{A \Delta T}{x}
where:
\Delta Q is the heat exchanged
\Delta t is the time interval
k is thermal conductivity of the material
A the  surface where the exchange of heat occurs
\Delta T the variation of temperature
x is the thickness of the material
We see that the heat flow rate \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} is linearly proportional to k, the thermal conductivity of the material. So, the larger k, the fastest the metal will cool. 
If we have a look at the thermal conductivity of each metal, we find:
- Aluminium: 237 W/(mK)
- Copper: 401 W/(mK)
- Gold: 314 W/(mK)
- Platinum: 69 W/(mK)
Therefore, copper is the material with highest heat flow rate, so the metal which cools fastest.

Part 2) Which sample of copper demonstrates the greatest increase in temperature
To solve this part, we can have a look at how the amount of heat exchanged Q is related to the increase in temperature \Delta T:
Q=m C_S \Delta T
where m is the mass and Cs the specific heat of the material. Re-arranging the formula, we get
\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}
therefore, we see that the increase in temperature is inversely proportional to the mass m. This means that the block that will show the largest increase in temperature is the block with the smallest mass, so the correct answer is A) 0.5 kg.

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 2.30 cm2 2 separated by 1.50 mm. The capacitor is connected to a 12.0-
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1.357\times 10^{-12}

Explanation:

Relevant Data provided

Area which indicates A = 2.3 cm^2 = 2.3 x 10^-4 m^2

Distance which indicates d = 1.50 x 10^-3 m

Voltage which indicates V = 12 V

According to the requirement, the computation of value of its capacitance is shown below:-

Capacitance, C =  \frac{\epsilon oA}{D}

= \frac{= 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 2.3\times 10^{-4}}{(1.5 \times 10^{-3})}

= 1.357\times 10^{-12}

Therefore for computing the capacitance we simply applied the above formula.

Larry drives 20.0 km to the east from his house then 20.0 km west back to his house, takes 5.0 mins to find his wallet and leave
Scorpion4ik [409]

Larry's average speed is 
                                       (total distance) / (total time).

                      Speed = (80 km) / (60 min) = 80 km/hr .


Larry's average velocity is  
                                         (distance between start- and end- points),
                                  in the direction from the start-point to the end-point.

                       Velocity = (40 km east) / (60 min) = 40 km/hr east .

Answer:

  B: 6m

Explanation:

At time = 8 seconds, the graph is crossing the grid intersection (8, 6).

The position at that time is 6 meters from the origin.
