Answer:

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.

Given:

Growing length = 3.7 meter

Time = 14 days

To find:

Growth rate = ?

Formula used:

Growth rate = \frac{Growing  length}{ time}

Solution:

Growth rate = \frac{Growing  length}{ time}

Growing  length = 3.7 × 10^{6} micrometer

Time = 14 × 24 × 60 × 60

Growth rate = \frac{3700000}{1209600}

Growth rate = 3.05 micrometer per second

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 6 km/s and a frequency of 13 Hz?
PtichkaEL [24]
Velocity can be calculated using the following rule:
velocity = lambda * frequency where:
velocity is given = 6 km/sec
lambda is the wavelength that we want to calculate
frequency is given = 13 Hz

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the wavelength (lambda) as follows:
6 = 13*lambda
wavelength = 6/13 = 0.461538 Km = 461.538 meters

If a galaxy is located 200 million light years from Earth, what can you conclude about
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

It's quite simple actually, you see, what light years basically means is how many years light takes to travel from point a to point b. So here it says that a galaxy is 200 million light years away. So since that light is 200 million years away, it would take 200 million years until that light reaches us.

A horse pulls out 6000 J of work traveling 300 m . what is the force used ?
ziro4ka [17]

Energy is force * distance.

So force is energy/distance so 6000J/300m = 20N

The entropy of an isolated system must be conserved, so it never changes.a. Trueb. Fasle
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B: False

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that: the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because isolated systems always tend to evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is a state with maximum entropy.

Thus, it means that the entropy change will always be positive.

Therefore, the given statement in the question is false.
