Answer:

Sputnik I.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union (former) launched the first artificial earth satellite called Sputnik I on October 4, 1957.

It had a diameter of 58 cm and it weighed 83.6 kg. It had an orbital period of 5880 seconds around the earth. It orbited the 11 weeks (officially 3 weeks but then, its battery died and it orbited for 8 weeks before falling back into the earth's atmosphere).

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Q = 12540 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of water, m = 50 mL = 50 g

It is heated from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

We need to find the energy required to heat the water. The formula use to find it as follows :

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Where c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C

Put all the values,

$Q=50\times 4.18\times (60-0)\\Q=12540\ J$

So, 12540 J of energy is used to heat the water.

A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below

siniylev [52]

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J$

Power is given by

$P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds$

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

How can you tell that this paragraph uses a quotation? Check all that apply?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer- There are two reasons that we know quotations have been used first is the use of of name of the person who quoted it and secondly the quotation is written inside the quotation marks.

Explanation- Quotation is nothing but using a line that has been already quoted by someone somewhere. Such sentences are normally written inside quotation marks. In the above given paragraph the name of the person who quotes the sentence is also given hence we know that our quotation has been used.
