An unknown material has a mass of 0.447 kg, and its temperature increases by 2.87°C when 943 J of heat are added. What is the sp

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

735 J/kg/C

Explanation:

Q = mcT

943 = (0.447)( c )(2.87)

1.28289c = 943

c = 735 J/kg/C (3 sf)

If an object accelerates from rest, what will its velocity be after 1.3 s if it has a constant acceleration of 9.1 m/s^2?

HACTEHA [7]

$\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Initial velocity,} ~v_0 = 0~ \text{m~s}^{-1}\\\\\text{Time, t = 1.3~sec}\\\\\text{Acceleration, a = 9.1 m s}^{-2}\\\\\\\\\text{Velocity,}\\\\v = v_0 +at\\\\\implies v = 0 + 9.1 \times 1.3 = 11.83~~ \text{m~s}^{-1}$

How are scientists monitoring and studying the effects on the herring?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In the decades prior to 1993 there was a robust Pacific herring population in Prince William Sound (PWS). Not only are these forage fish a key link in the complex food web of PWS, but they supported a lucrative early-season commercial fishery that brought the communities of the Sound to life each spring. By 1994, that fishery was closed and only briefly reopened for two years in the late 1990s. The current, approximately 10,000-ton biomass, is tiny compared to the peak value of 130,000 tons or the long-term average prior to the collapse of around 65,000 ton.

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.

yKpoI14uk [10]

<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately. Which means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:
