water in a cup and a kettle can have the same temperature even though the quantities are different . give reasons​

Physics

jekas [21]3 years ago

Answer:

The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass  and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature, T_{(equilibrium)} reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;

\infty M_{(environ)} \times  c_{(environ)} \times (T_2 - T_1) = m_{1} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_3 - T_2) + m_{2} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_4 - T_2)

Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment

If a motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at 5 m / s2, how long does it take for it to reach a speed of 20 m / s.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 20 m/s

a = 5 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

20 m/s = (5 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 4 s

Which of the following describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
gregori [183]

The answer is neutral charge. An atom element will always and has to be stable, in order for this state to happen. The charge of an electron has to be neutral. For atom with neutral charge, the proton will always equal the number of electron.

A diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat at an angle of 30° relative to the normal. If the index of
son4ous [18]

Answer:

<h2>35</h2>

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°
