An unlit match is held near (not touching) a Bunsen flame. The match doesn't get hot enough to light because

The answer is option D)
this is because the heat radiated by the flame is mostly absorbed by the air surrounding it, so the air becomes hot and its density decreases (because of expansion), therefore it goes up and it is replaced by cooler air. since all of the hot air flies up, non goes side ways to heat up the match stick, hence it remains cool and does not light up.

option A) also sounds correct, but it isn't. this is because the flame IS hot enough to burn the match stick, it's just that the match stick is positioned the wrong way

A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. the room is slightl
raketka [301]
The wavelength of the note is \lambda = 39.1 cm = 0.391 m. Since the speed of the wave is the speed of sound, c=344 m/s, the frequency of the note is
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}=879.8 Hz

Then, we know that the frequency of a vibrating string is related to the tension T of the string and its length L by
f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }
where \mu=0.550 g/m = 0.550 \cdot 10^{-3} kg/m is the linear mass density of our string.
Using the value of the tension, T=160 N, and the frequency we just found, we can calculate the length of the string, L:
L= \frac{1}{2f}  \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} } =0.31 m

On a winter day with a temperature of -10°C, 500g of snow (water ice) is brought inside where the temperature is 18 °C. The snow
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg

Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree

= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature

= .5 x 2093 x 10 J

10465 J

Heat required to melt the ice

= mass of ice x latent heat

0.5 x 334 x 10³ J

167000 J

Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree

= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature

= .5 x 4182 x 18

=37638 J

Total heat

=10465 +167000+ 37638

=215103 J

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.
