Specific heat capacity= heat energy/mass×temperature rise

962°C - 20°C = 942K

Heat energy (Eh) = 239 × 1.55 × 942
Eh= 348963.9J

shc of Ag: 238.6 J/kg-K

m of Ag: 1.55kg

a train is moving 35m/s to the east. it speeds up to 42 m/s east over the course of 40 seconds. what is the trains acceleration?
lianna [129]

Answer:

0.175 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 35 m/s

v = 42 m/s

t = 40 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

42 m/s = a (40 s) + 35 m/s

a = 0.175 m/s²

If light has a speed of 122,000 mps in a transparent medium, what is the index of refraction of the medium? A. n = 1.52
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A.\hspace{3}n=1.52

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

Where:

c=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}vacuum\\n=Refractive\hspace{3}index\\

v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}medium

The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:

122,000\frac{mi}{s} *\frac{1.60934km}{1mi}=196339.48\frac{km}{s}

Finally, replacing the data in (1):

n=\frac{300,000}{196339.48} =1.527965746\approx1.52

Explain why the surface of Venus is hotter than the surface of Mercury
Hitman42 [59]
<span>Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.</span>

How do dog whistles work?
Alchen [17]

<em>The sound it emits comes from what is known as the ultrasonic range, a pitch that is so high humans can't hear it. Dogs can hear these sounds, however, as can cats and other animals. Because of this, the dog whistle is a favored training tool, though it may not be for every dog parent.</em>
