Answer:

Although the speed changes and wavelength changes, the frequency of the light will be constant. The frequency, wavelength, and speed are related by: The change in speed that occurs when light passes from one medium to another is responsible for the bending of light, or refraction, that takes place at an interface.

Which of the following is an example of a renewable natural resource?

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

c. lumber

Explanation:

Lumber is considered a renewable natural resource because it is gotten from trees and trees are grow-able. A renewable natural resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. Examples of renewable natural resources are solar energy from the sun, water, oxygen, biomass, trees etc. Trees can be harvested and processed into lumber. The harvested trees can be planted again by humans or they can naturally reproduce through seedlings or fruits that drop and germinate on their own. This renewable germinating process of trees makes lumber a renewable natural resource.

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10

STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

$P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}$

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi $(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi})$ = 379212 Pa

$\rho$ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}$

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

$\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}$

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = $\frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4}$ = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = $[\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m]$ = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

$t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\$

<u>t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours</u>

A charged object traveling 7 m in a uniform electric field of 5 N/C experiences a 4 J increase in Kinetic Energy.

Travka [436]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the principles of conservation of Energy in order to obtain the final work done.

The electric field in terms of the Force can be expressed as

$E = \frac{F}{q} \rightarrow F=Eq$

Where,

F = Force

E= Electric Field

q = Charge

Puesto que el trabajo realizado es equivalente al cambio en la energía cinetica entonces tenemos que

KE = W

KE = F*d

In the First Case,

$4 = (qE)d\\q = \frac{4}{Ed}\\q = \frac{4}{5*7}\\q = 0.1142C$

In Second Case,

$KE = q E'd$

$KE = (0.1142)(40)(7)$

$KE = 31.976J$

The total energy change would be subject to,

$\Delta KE = 31.976-4$

$\Delta KE = 27.976J$

Therefore the Kinetic Energy change of the charged object is 27.976J

You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weight the sample and find that its weight is 28.4

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy $E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J$

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}$

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

$\Delta T$ = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

$c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}$

$c=14.8\ J/kg. K$

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K
