1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.

A torsional pendulum consists of a disk of mass 450 g and radius 3.5 cm, hanging from a wire. If the disk is given an initial an
Montano1993 [528]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion, starting from the definition of angular velocity in terms of frequency, to verify the angular displacement and its respective derivative, let's start:

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi (2.5)

\omega = 5\pi rad/s

The angular displacement is given as the form:

\theta (t) = \theta_0 cos(\omega t)

In the equlibrium we have to t=0, \theta(t) = \theta_0 and in the given position we have to

\theta(t) = \theta_0 cos(5\pi t)

Derived the expression we will have the equivalent to angular velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = 2.7rad/s

Replacing,

\theta_0(sin(5\pi t))5\pi = 2.7

Finally

\theta_0 = \frac{2.7}{5\pi}rad = 9.848\°

Therefore the maximum angular displacement is 9.848°

What quantity of heat must be removed from 20g<br>of water at 0°C to change it to ice at 0°C?​
seraphim [82]

The quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.

<h3>Explanation : </h3>

From the question we will know if the condition of ice is at the latent point. So, the heat level not affect the temperature, but it can change the object existence. So, for the formula we can use.

\boxed {\bold {Q = m \times L}}

If :

  • Q = heat of latent (cal or J )
  • m = mass of the thing (g or kg)
  • L = latent coefficient (cal/g or J/kg)
<h3>Steps : </h3>

If :

  • m = mass of water = 20 g => its easier if we use kal/g°C
  • L = latent coefficient = 80 cal/g

Q = ... ?

Answer :

Q = m \times L \\ Q = 20 \times 80 = 1600 \: cal

So, the quantity of heat must be removed is 1600 cal or 1,6 kcal.

If tides occur twice a day in most places. How much time is there between a morning high tide and the next high tide?
algol13

About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.
