A scientist studies the strengths of different types of wood, including oak and

Physics
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago

C

Explanation:

This is because the other variables in the other choices are relative to different observers and hence are not good to use in an experiment because there will be a lot of inherent bias by the person conducting the experiment For example how one person views how strong or beautiful the maple or oak looks may be different from how another person perceives the same.

However, weight is an absolute SI unit and does not vary from experiment to experiment. It is, therefore, a non-biased variable to use in the experiment and determine which wood between oak and maple can hold more weight.

Four complete waves pass the duck in one second the frequency of this wave is
galben [10]
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz

A 0.877 mol sample of N2(g) initially at 298 K and 1.00 atm is held at constant volume while enough heat is applied to raise the
MissTica

Answer : The value of q\text{ and }\Delta U is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of sample = 0.877 mol

Change in temperature = 15.7 K

First we have to calculate the heat absorbed by the system.

Formula used :

q=n\times c_v\times \Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed by the system = ?

n = moles of sample = 0.877 mol

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 15.7 K

c_v = heat capacity at constant volume of N_2 (diatomic molecule) = \frac{5}{2}R

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

q=0.877mol\times \frac{5}{2}\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 15.7K

q=286.2J

Now we have to calculate the change in internal energy of the system.

\Delta U=q+w

As we know that, work done is zero at constant volume. So,

\Delta U=q=286.2J

Therefore, the value of q\text{ and }\Delta U is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

What volume (in liters) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (see section 17.6;
antiseptic1488 [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Mass = 0.0565 Kg,

Density = 900 kg/m³

             = 0.0565 kg/ 900 kg /m³

             = 6.3 × 10^-5 M³

but; 1000 L = 1 m³

Hence, <u>volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L</u>

Why is the sky blue?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
