The Earth takes (365 and 1/4) days to orbit the sun.  That's the length of our 'year'.

Since it's not really possible to make our calendar a quarter of a day longer every year, we make the calendar a <u><em>whole</em></u> day longer every 4 years.

So "Leap years" make up for the extra one-fourth day the Earth takes to orbit the sun.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

c) L³/T³

Explanation:

If t stands for time, the units are:

(V) = L³, (t) = T

The units for the equation:

V(t) = At³

must be:

L^{3} = \frac{L^{3} }{T^{3}} T^{3}

Cerrena [4.2K]
The flowers reflect relatively low frequency and low amplitude light waves.
White light contains a spectrum of colors, and red light is at the beginning of this spectrum in terms of energy. This means that it has the lowest frequency, as the energy of a wave of light is directly proportional to its frequency.
The amplitude of a light wave gives a measure of how intense the light is. A dull light means that the amplitude of the wave is low.

Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and th
Ket [755]

Answer:

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²

θ = 65°

Find:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Computation:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of water by 25.0°C
love history [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to be able to solve this problem, you will need to know the value of water's specific heat, which is listed as

c

=

4.18

J

g

∘

C

Now, let's assume that you don't know the equation that allows you to plug in your values and find how much heat would be needed to heat that much water by that many degrees Celsius.

Take a look at the specific heat of water. As you know, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is needed in order to increase the temperature of

1 g

of that substance by

1

C

.

In water's case, you need to provide

4.18 J

of heat per gram of water to increase its temperature by

1

C

.

What if you wanted to increase the temperature of

1 g

of water by

This means that in order to increase the temperature of

This will account for increasing the temperature of the first gram of the sample by

And there you have it. The equation that describes all this will thus be

q
