Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.
Answer: The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor. The event was the first major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists. It showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take taxation and tyranny sitting down, and rallied American patriots across the 13 colonies to fight for independence.
Explanation: brainlest please
A). Convection is heating the soup in the pot.
When you stick the spoon into the hot soup,
conduction heats the spoon all the way up to the end.
b). Water conducts heat a little bit.
But convection is much more responsible for the
uniform distribution of temperature in the kiddie pool.
c). The heat from the metal bench conducts directly
to the buttus epidermis when you sit on it.
d). You feel the heat on your face ... but not on the back of your
neck ... on account of radiation from the fire and the hot grill.
A) 1.55
The speed of light in a medium is given by:
where
is the speed of light in a vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material
In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is
So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:
B) 550.3 nm
The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is
where
is the wavelenght in quartz
is the wavelength in air
n is the refractive index
For the light in this problem, we have
Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find , the wavelength in air:
Sound waves actually travel much faster in water than air, but words and the direction of the noise are distorted.
