A tank of water is separated into two sections. Hot green water is placed on one side of the tank and clear cold water is placed

on the other side. What would you predict will happen when the partition separating the tank is removed? Why?

As soon as the partition is removed, the immediate first reaction is that the clear cold water all sinks to the bottom, and the warm green water all collects on top.  So at the beginning, you get a green layer sitting on top of a clear layer, with a sharp, distinct line between them.

As time goes on, heat starts to move from the warm water to the cool water.  It happens right at the place in the middle where they meet, so it doesn't go along very fast.  Little by little, some heat conducts out of some warm green water and into some cool clear water.  

After a long time, all the water in the tank becomes the same temperature.  It's all light green, and the convection (flowing up and down) stops.

The water would become room temperature. I predict this because the cold water would cool down the hot water a lot. This, of course, depends on the exact temperature of the waters.

What causes the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum?
Snezhnost [94]
Base in your questions that ask what cause the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum and i think the best answer to that is the H2 gas is used when protons was heated so the electron absorb all the photons and get exited and resulted by given of a light.

Two stars of masses M and 6M are separated by a distance D. Determine the distance (measured from M) to a point at which the net
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

0.29D

Explanation:

Given that

F = G M m / r2

F = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

G Mm/r2 = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

1/r2 = 6 / (D-r)2

r = D / (Ö6 + 1)

r = 0.29 D

Consider the graph below that represents the variation of the velocity with respect to time of an object moving along the x - ax
vazorg [7]

In a velocity-time graph, the area under the curve represents the distance.

The distance traveled from 10s to 18 s is

\begin{gathered} d\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times10\times(18-10) \\ =\text{ 40 m} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The distance traveled is 40 m from time 10 s to 18 s.

What are (a) the lowest frequency, (b) the second lowest frequency, and (c) the third lowest frequency for standing waves on a w
Delvig [45]
(a) The lowest frequency (called fundamental frequency) of a wire stretched under a tension T is given by
f_1 =  \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }
where
L is the wire length
T is the tension
m is the wire mass

In our problem, L=10.9 m, m=55.8 g=0.0558 kg and T=253 N, therefore the fundamental frequency of the wire is
T= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 10.9 m} \sqrt{ \frac{253 N}{0.0558 kg/10.9 m} }=    10.2 Hz

b) The frequency of the nth-harmonic for a standing wave in a wire is given by
f_n = n f_1
where n is the order of the harmonic and f1 is the fundamental frequency. If we use n=2, we find the second lowest frequency of the wire:
f_2 = 2 f_1 = 2 \cdot 10.2 Hz=20.4 Hz

c) Similarly, the third lowest frequency (third harmonic) is given by
f_3 = 3 f_1 = 3 \cdot 10.2 Hz = 30.6 Hz
