Answer:

The answer is 3597501.48 km

Explanation:

The speed of light is 299792 km/s.

The speed of sound is 0.343 km/s

The difference is 299791.76 km/s

and of there is 12 second difference between sound and the light. The distance will be:

299791.76*12=3597501.48

The temperature of the liquid in a container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Light from distant galaxies most likely shows a ...red shift, indicating that the universe is expandingblue shift, indicating th
ELEN [110]

Answer:

red shift, indicating that the universe is expanding

Explanation:

Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave (e.g. light, or sound waves) moves relative to an observer; as a result of this relative motion, the wavelength of the wave appears lengthened/shortened to the observer. Two situations can occur:

- The source of the wave is moving towards the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes shorter. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the blue-end of the spectrum (blue-shift)

- The source of the wave is moving away from the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes longer. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the red-end of the spectrum (red-shift)

In our universe, we observe a red-shift for all the distant galaxies: this means that these galaxies are moving away from us, so this is an indication that the universe is expanding.

A 4.0kg block is sliding with a constant velocity of 3.0m/s on a frictionless table that is 0.5m high. If all of the block’s ene
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Velocity = 4.33[m/s]

Explanation:

The total energy or mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, as it is known the velocity and the height, we can determine the total energy.

E_{M}=E_{p}  + E_{k} \\E_{p} = potential energy [J]\\E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]\\where:\\E_{p} =m*g*h\\E_{p} = 4*9.81*0.5=19.62[J]\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}  \\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *4*(3)^{2} \\E_{k}=18[J]\\Therefore\\E_{M} =18+19.62\\E_{M}=37.62[J]

All this energy will become kinetic energy and we can find the velocity.

37.62=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{37.62*2}{4} } \\v=4.33[m/s]

Juliette [100K]

Answer:W=1.93\times 10^9 J      

Explanation:

Given

Force F=1.6\times 10^{6} N

one at an angle of 13^{\circ} East of North and another at 13^{\circ} West of North

Net Force is in North Direction

F_{net}=2F\cos 13

Forces in horizontal direction will cancel out each other

thus Work done will be by north direction forces  

W=2F\cdot \cos 30\cdot s

here s=0.7 km

W=2\times 1.6\times 10^{6}\cdot \cos 30\cdot 700

W=1.93\times 10^9 J
