Answer: The correct answer is "The particles of the medium vibrate up and down".

Explanation:

Transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

For example, light wave. Transverse wave does not need any medium to travel.

In the given problem, a transverse wave is traveling from right to left. The direction of the particles of the medium vibrates up and down.

B. the distance the star is from Earth

Explanation:

The apparent magnitude of star is a function of its distance from the earth. It is one of the physical properties that is used to study a star.

The apparent magnitude of a star or other astronomical bodies is a measure of their brightness as seen from a location on the earth.

The apparent magnitude of a star depends on:

Distance of the star from the location on earth.
luminosity of the star
the particles along the part of the star and earth that cuts off the light the earth receives.

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) $c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

c) The material is peat, possibly.

d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of aluminium, $m_a=0.1\ kg$

mass of water, $m_w=0.25\ kg$

initial temperature of the system, $T_i=10^{\circ}C$

mass of copper block, $m_c=0.1\ kg$

temperature of copper block, $T_c=50^{\circ}C$

mass of the other block, $m=0.07\ kg$

temperature of the other block, $T=100^{\circ}C$

final equilibrium temperature, $T_f=20^{\circ}C$

We have,

specific heat of aluminium, $c_a=910\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of copper, $c_c=390\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of water, $c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Using the heat energy conservation equation.

The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.

$Q_{in}=m_a.c_a.(T_f-T_i)+m_w.c_w.(T_f-T_i)$

$Q_{in}=0.1\times 910\times (20-10)+0.25\times 4186\times (20-10)$

$Q_{in}=11375\ J$

The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:

$Q_{out}=m_c.c_c.(T_c-T_f)+m.c.(T-T_f)$

where

$c=$ specific heat of the unknown material

For the conservation of energy : $Q_{in}=Q_{out}$

so,

$11375=0.1\times 390\times (50-20)+0.07\times c\times (100-20)$

$c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

The material is peat, possibly.

The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
