<span>0.0001 km / year or 10^-5 km/year just take 50 km and divide it by 5 million</span>

50 km = 50,000 meters

   (50,000 meters) / (5 million years)

   =    (5 x 10⁴) / (5 x 10⁶)    (meters/year)

   = 1 x 10⁻²    meter/year

   = 1 centimeter per year

You place an ice cube of mass 7.50×10−3kg and temperature 0.00∘C on top of a copper cube of mass 0.540 kg. All of the ice melts,

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The value is $T_c = 12 .1 ^oC$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the ice cube is $m_i = 7.50 *10^{-3} \ kg$

The temperature of the ice cube is $T_i = 0^o C$

The mass of the copper cube is $m_c = 0.540 \ kg$

The final temperature of both substance is $T_f = 0^oC$

Generally form the law of thermal energy conservation,

The heat lost by the copper cube = heat gained by the ice cube

Generally the heat lost by the copper cube is mathematically represented as

$Q = m_c * c_c * [T_c - T_f ]$

The specific heat of copper is $c_c = 385J/kg \cdot ^oC$

Generally the heat gained by the ice cube is mathematically represented as

$Q_1 = m_i * L$

Here L is the latent heat of fusion of the ice with value $L = 3.34 * 10^{5} J/kg$

$Q_1 = 7.50 *10^{-3} * 3.34 * 10^{5}$

=> $Q_1 = 2505 \ J$

$2505 = 0.540 * 385 * [T_c - 0 ]$

=> $T_c = 12 .1 ^oC$

consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is

kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.
