Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

light to get from the Sun to the Earth (in s) is written in scientific notation. Note: the speed of light is approximately 3.0×108 m/s.

If speed = distance/time , then time = speed/distance.

So...

Speed of light = 3*10^8(m/s)
Average distance from Earth to Sun = 149.6*10^9(m)

Therefore, t=(3*10^8(m/s))/(149.6*10^9(m))

I hope this was a helpful explanation, please reply if you have further questions about the problem.

Good luck!

Solution A has a specific heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a specific heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

Q=m.c.\Delta T.....................................(1)

where:

  • \Delta T= temperature difference
  • Q= heat energy
  • m= mass of the body
  • c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

  • we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. m_A=m_B
  • equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. Q_A=Q_B
  • specific heat of solution A, c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • specific heat of solution B, c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • \Delta T_A & \Delta T_B are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

Q_A=Q_B

m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.

At the circus, the Human Cannonball is
svlad2 [7]

The correct answer is  1.4285714.

In physics, velocity is characterised as a vector measurement of the motion's direction and speed. To be more precise, the rate of change in an object's position relative to a frame of reference and time is another way to describe velocity. The definition of velocity simply states the rate of motion of an object in a specific direction. It determines how quickly or slowly something is going.

Velocity = distance/ time  

Thus time = distance/velocity

Here velocity = 350m/s

diatnce = 500 m

time = 500/350

time = 1.42857142857

t= 200m /350m/s  = 1.4285714
