The planet closest to the sun; Mercury.
The correct is D.
Explanation: The specific heat is defined as heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. Greater the specific heat, more is the heat required to raise the temperature for equal mass. So, the temperature of the material with lowest specific heat will increase the most for the same amount of heat energy.
Answer:
A light-year is a unit of distance. It is the distance that light can travel in one year. Light moves at a velocity of about 300,000 kilometers (km) each second. So in one year, it can travel about 10 trillion km. More p recisely, one light-year is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers
Answer:
a. 299,792,458 m/s
Explanation:
Since the speed of light in a vacuum is invariant and has the value of 299,792,458 m/s, we would measure this value of 299,792,458 m/s for the speed of light from the star as it arrives on Earth.
Answer:
1. 20.54m/s
2. 1.52s
Explanation:
QUESTION 1:
The speed the stone impact the ground is the final speed/velocity, which can be calculated using the formula:
v² = u² + 2as
Where;
v = final velocity (m/s)
u = initial velocity (m/s)
a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
s = distance (m)
From the provided information, u = 5.65m/s, v = ?, s = 19.9m, a = 9.8m/s²
v² = 5.65² + 2 (9.8 × 19.9)
v² = 31.9225 + 2 (195.02)
v² = 31.9225 + 390.04
v² = 421.9625
v = √421.9625
v = 20.5417
v = 20.54m/s
QUESTION 2:
Using v = u + at
Where v = final velocity (m/s) = 20.54m/s
t = time (s)
u = initial velocity (m/s) = 5.65m/s
a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
v = u + at
20.54 = 5.65 + 9.8t
20.54 - 5.65 = 9.8t
14.89 = 9.8t
t = 14.89/9.8
t = 1.519
t = 1.52s
