Answer:

a true

Explanation:

Water has the high specific heat capacity.

That means it resists to change its temperature when a considerable amount of heat lost or gained

4200J is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg substance by 1 degree Celsius

If the distance of a galaxy is 2,000 Mpc, how many years back into the past are we looking when we observe this galaxy

ruslelena [56]

The age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The given parameters:

<em>distance of the galaxy, x = 2,000 Mpc</em>

According Hubble's law the age of the universe is calculated as follows;

v = H₀x

where;

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

$T = \frac{x}{V} \\\\T = \frac{x}{xH_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{H_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{70 \ km/s/Mpc} \\\\T = \frac{1 \ sec}{70 \times 3.24 \times 10^{-20} } \\\\T = 4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\\\\T = \frac{4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\ \times \ years}{3600 \ s \ \times\ 24\ h\ \times \ 365.25 \ days} \\\\T = 1.397 \times 10^{10} \ years\\\\T = 13.97 \ billion \ years$

Thus, the age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

A circular sign has a diameter of 40 cm and is subjected to normal winds up to 150 km/h at 10°C and 100 kPa. Determine the drag

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

147.7 N

221.55 Nm

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 100000 Pa

$R_s$ = Mass-specific gas constant = 287.015 J/kg k

T = Temperature = 10+273 = 283 K

C = Drag coefficient = 1.1

A = Area

r = Radius = 0.2 m

v = Speed of wind = $\frac{150}{3.6}\ m/s$

L = Length of pole

Density

$\rho=\frac{P}{R_sT}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{100000}{287.058\times 283}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.2309\ kg/m^3$

Drag force

$F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2309\times 1.1\times \left(\pi \times 0.2^2\right)\times \left(\frac{150}{3.6}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow F=147.7\ N$

Force on the circular sign is 147.7 N

$M=F\times L\\\Rightarrow M=147.7\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow M=221.55\ Nm$

Bending moment at the bottom of the pole is 221.55 Nm

A 6.8 kg bowling ball and 7.4 kg bowling ball rest on a rack 0.74 m apart. What is the force of gravity pulling each ball toward

zimovet [89]

The gravitational force between the two balls is $6.13\cdot 10^{-9} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

For the balls in this problem, we have

$m_1 = 6.8 kg$

$m_2 = 7.4 kg$

r = 0.74 m

Substituting into the equation, we find the gravitational force between the two balls:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(6.8)(7.4)}{(0.74)^2}=6.13\cdot 10^{-9}N$

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.
