Sensible heat involves a change in which aspect of a substance?

1 answer:

4 0

Sensible heat involves change in temperature of a substance. As the name suggests, it is the heat one can feel or sensed. When a system exchange sensible heat, its volume, pressure and state do not change. The sensible heat can be measured with the help of thermometer. The other type of heat is latent heat which involves change in state of the substance.

Star a has an absolute magnitude of 8. what is its apparent magnitude at a distance of 100 pc

tresset_1 [31]

From the definition of apparent magnitude, we know that:
$m_{1} - m_{2} = -2.5Log( \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} )$
where:
m = apparent magnitude
F = corresponding flux

We also know that the flux is given by the formula:
$F = \frac{L}{4 \pi d^{2} }$
where:
L = luminosity
d = distance

Therefore:
$\frac{F_{1} }{F_{2}} = (\frac{L_{1} }{4 \pi d_{1}^{2} })(\frac{4 \pi d_{2}^{2} }{L_{2} }) \\ = \frac{L_{1}d_{2}^{2}}{L_{2}d_{1}^{2}}$

Now, let's apply these formulae to the same star (therefore, same luminosity), using apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude (which is defined as the apparent magnitude the star would have if it were at a distance of 10pc):
$m - M = 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10pc})^{2}$

Now, let's solve for m:
$m = M + 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10})^{2}$
= <span> $8 + 2.5 Log ( \frac{100}{10})^{2}$ </span>
= 13

Hence, the apparent magnitude of the star would be m = +13

a stone is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 20 m per second what will be its velocity when it reaches a height of 10

TEA [102]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's the info we have:

initial velocity is 20 m/s;

final velocity is our unknown;

displacement is -10.2 m; and

acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s/s. Using the one-dimensional equation

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx and filling in accordingly to solve for v:

$v=\sqrt{(20)^2+2(-9.8)(-10.2)}$ Rounding to the correct number of sig fig's to simplify:

$v=\sqrt{400+2.0*10^2}$ to get

v = $\sqrt{600}=20\frac{m}{s}$ If you don't round like that, the velocity could be 24, or it could also be 24.5 depending on how your class is paying attention to sig figs or if you are at all.

So either 20 m/s or 24 m/s

Suppose you have a coffee mug with a circular cross section and vertical sides (uniform radius). What is its inside radius if it

Vlad [161]

Answer:

r = 4.62 cm

Explanation:

Mass of a coffee, m = 370 g

Height of the mug, h = 5.5 cm

We need to find the inside radius of the mug. Density of an object is equal to the mass per unit volume. It can be given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{m}{\pi r^2 h}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{\pi dh}}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{370\ g}{\pi \times 1\ g/cm^3\times 5.5\ cm}}\\\\r=4.62\ cm$

So, the inside radius is 4.62 cm.
