Answer:

Specific Heat

Explanation:

Specific heat is the measurement which describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius.

It is the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and the temperature change is usually expressed as shown below:

$Q=cm$ Δ $T$

where $Q$ = heat added,

$c$ = specific heat,

$m$ =mass; and

Δ $T$ = change in temperature

Extinct might be a word you associate with animals that lived long ago, like the dinosaurs, but did you know that over 18,000 species are classified as "threatened" (susceptible to extinction) today? Scientists involved in wildlife conservation have a tough job; they are in charge of determining what needs to be done to prevent a species from becoming extinct. Habitat, food supply, and impacts of local human populations are just a few of the factors these scientists take into account. It is a lot to keep track of for a single location, but the job becomes even harder when it is a migratory animal. In this science project, you will get a firsthand look at their job. You will access real data about migratory birds and use satellite images to analyze their habitats, then come up with a conservation plan to protect the species from extinction.

In 1996, astronomers discovered an icy object beyond pluto that was given the designation 1996 tl 66. it has a semimajor axis of

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : 2446 years.

Explanation :

Length of semi major axis is, $a=84\ au= 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

According to Kepler's third law, square of time period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

i.e $T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

where G is gravitational constant

M is mass of sun, $M=1.98\times 10^{30}\ Kg$

So, $T^2=\dfrac{4\times (3.14)^2}{6.6\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg\times 1.98\times 10^{30}\Kg}$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times(84\times 1.496\times 10^{11})^3$

$T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times 1984415.6\times 10^{33}$

$T^2=59532469.8\times 10^{14}\ s$

$T=7715.7\times 10^7\ s$

since, $1\ sec=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ years$

So, orbital period is approximately 2446 years.

A spaceship is traveling toward Earth while giving off a constant radio signal with a wavelength of 1 meter (m). What will the s

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Less than 1 m

Explanation:

When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.

A set of charged plates 0.00262 m apart has an electric field of 155 N/C between them. What is the potential difference between

mylen [45]

Answer: The potential difference between the plates = 0.4061V

Explanation:

Given that the

Electric field strength E = 155 N/C

Distance d = 0.00262 m

From the definition of electric field strength, is the ratio of potential difference V to the distance between the plates. That is

E = V/d

Substitute E and d into the above formula

155 = V/0.00262

Cross multiply

V = 155 × 0.00262

V = 0.4061 V

The potential difference between the plates is 0.4061 V

A camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?

GenaCL600 [577]

Power= current*voltage or P=IV

so 16 watts=I*7 volts

divide on both sides to isolate I so you get

I= 16/7 which is about 2.3 amps
