Answer:

Length = 19 feet

Width = 14 feet

Explanation:

The perimeter, P, of a rectangle is given by

P=2(l+w)

where l is the length and w is the width.

From the question, the length is 9 feet less than twice the width.

l=2w-9

Substitute this in the equation for the perimeter.

P=2(2w-9+w)

P=2(3w-9)

66=2(3w-9)

33=3(w-3)

11=w-3

w=14

Substitute for this in the equation for l.

l=2w-9=2\times14-9=28-9=19

Hence, the length is 19 feet and the width is 14 feet.

pshyical change is a usually reversible change of a substance, as size or shape: Freezing a liquid is a physical change. Compare chemical change.

internal change is when the movement of the particles increases

specific latent heat is the amount of energy per kg (unit mass) required to change ice to water without change in temperature.

Imani stirs a cup of hot sencha tea with a cool silver spoon. She notices that the silver spoon becomes warmer. What energy chan
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer

Explanation:

When the silver spoon at a lower temperature than the tea, is added to the tea, it makes thermal contact. Hence, the heat transfer starts between the two until the equilibrium is reached. We know that the heat transfer takes place from the body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. As a result, the body with higher temperature loses heat and its temperature lowers down. While the body with a lower temperature gains heat and its temperature rises.

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer</u>

Which type of radiation can reach the furthest?<br> A. Beta<br><br> B. Gamma<br><br> C. Alpha
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

C. Alpha

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.
