Answer:

T(C) = T(K) + 273.15

T(K) = T(C) - 273.15

Explanation:

Kelvin (K) is the scale used to measure the absolute temperature, and it is the SI unit for the temperature.

Another scale used is the Celsius degree (C), which is defined by using the freezing point and boiling point of water. In fact:

- The zero (0 C) in the Celsius scale is defined as the temperature at which the water freezes, and

- 100 C in the Celsius scale is defined as the temperature at which the water boils

The Celsius scale involves the possibility of having negative temperatures; instead, the zero in the Kelvin scale (0 K) is defined as the lowest possible temperature in the Universe. The conversion factors between the two scales are the following:

T(C) = T(K) - 273.15

T(K) = T(C) + 273.15

How long (in seconds) does it take a car accelerating at 3.1 m/s2 to go from rest to 51 m/s?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

t = 16.5s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration = 3.1m/s²

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Final velocity = 51m/s

Unknown:

Time taken = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we need to reiterate that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

So;

Acceleration = $\frac{v - u }{t}$

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

So;

3.1 = $\frac{51 - 0}{t}$

3.1t = 51

t = 16.5s

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

Why is it not necessary for radio telescope surfaces to be as smooth as a mirror?

Law Incorporation [45]

It doesn't on account of radio waves are longer than optical waves. Radio waves are a sort of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic range longer than infrared light. These long waves are in the radio locale of the electromagnetic range.

Calculate the number of electrons passing a point in the wire in 1 min when the current is 1 A

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

When one coulomb charge passes through any cross section of the wire per second,the current passing is one ampere. Charge of electron ,e=1.6X10^-19C. n=1/(1.6X10^-19)=6.25X10^18.Sep 17, 2017
