Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

light speed = 300 000 km/s

a) Express it in scientific notation

to do it, we just move the decimal point 5 places to the left

         300 000 = 3.0 x 10 ⁵ km/s

b) Convert this value to meters per hour

  (300 000 km/s)(1000 m/1 km)(3600 s/1 h) = 300000x1000x3600 / 1x1x1

                                                                        = 1.08 x 10¹² m/h

c) What distance in centimeters does light travel in 1 s?

data

v = 300 000 km/s

d = ?

t = 1 s

 formula   v = d/t      we clear distance     d = vxt

                                  d = 300000 x 1 = 300000 km

                                   d = 300000000 m = 30000000000 cm

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 0.25 kg of water from 20°C to 30°C
pentagon [3]

Answer:

10500 J/kg/*C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat required=mass of substance x specific heat capacity x change in temperature

Quantity of heat required=0.25 x 4200 x [30-20]

Quantity of heat required=0.25 x 4200 x 10

Quantity of heat required=10500 J/kg/*C

Answer:

(1) 1×10⁻⁴

Explanation:

From the question,

α = (ΔL/L)/(ΔT)............. Equation 1

Where α = linear expansivity of the metal plate, ΔL/L = Fractional change in Length, ΔT = Rise in temperature.

Given: ΔL/L = 1×10⁻⁴, ΔT = 10°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

α  = 1×10⁻⁴/10

α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹ .

β = (ΔA/A)/ΔT................... Equation 2

Where β = Coefficient of Area expansivity, ΔA/A = Fractional change in area.

make ΔA/A the subject of the equation

ΔA/A = β×ΔT.......................... Equation 3

But,

β = 2α.......................... Equation 4

Substitute equation 4 into equation 3

ΔA/A = 2α×ΔT................ Equation 5

Given: ΔT = 5°C, α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹

Substitute into equation 5

ΔA/A = ( 2)×(1×10⁻⁵)×(5)

ΔA/A  = 10×10⁻⁵

ΔA/A  = 1×10⁻⁴

Hence the right option is (1) 1×10⁻⁴

Como determino la densiad de un objeto?
sveta [45]

Answer:

La densidad (más precisamente, la densidad de masa volumétrica; también conocida como masa específica), de una sustancia es su masa por unidad de volumen. El símbolo más utilizado para la densidad es la letra griega en minúsculas rho), aunque también se puede utilizar la letra latina D. Matemáticamente, la densidad se define como masa dividida por volumen: .m/V donde es la densidad, m es la masa y V es el volumen. En algunos casos (por ejemplo, en la industria del petróleo y el gas de los Estados Unidos), la densidad se define libremente como su peso por volumen unitario, aunque esto es científicamente inexacto – esta cantidad se llama más específicamente peso específico.
