Answer:

47.17 m

Explanation:

From the diagram of the question attached, The length of the legs are 25 m and 40 m . This legs form a right angle triangle with the length of the swimming course (L).

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angle triangle with hypotenuse a and legs b and c, then:

a² = b² + c²

In the triangle, the length of the swimming course (L) is the hypotenuse and the two legs are 25 m and 40 m. Using Pythagoras:

L² = 25² + 40²

L² = 625 + 1600

L² = 2225

L = √2225

L = 47.17 m

What happens when you compress a gas?
8090 [49]
The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T

A sample of copper with a mass of 1.80 kg, initially at a temperature of 150.0°C, is in a well-insulated container. Water at a t
user100 [1]

Answer:

the mass of water is 0.3 Kg

Explanation:

since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:

Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Q water = - Q copper

since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature

and denoting w as water and co as copper :

m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) =  m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)

m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C

if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)

m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

m w= 1.80 kg *  0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))

m w= 0.3 kg
