Answer:  The correct answer is "D"

Explanation:

It is given that a student is given a red and a blue liquid. The two samples of liquids are heated in identical beakers over identical Bunsen burners.

It is observed that the red liquid shows a dramatically faster increase in temperature.

This observation can be explained in terms of specific heat. It is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature.

We know that the specific heat of any liquid is given by :

Where c is the specific heat.

m is the mass of the substance.

Q is the amount of heat.

is the change in temperature.

So, it is clear that the specific heat capacity is inversely proportional to the temperature.

The better explanation for this can be the specific heat of the red liquid is less because it drastically increases in temperature.

Vector A is 3 m long and vector B is 4 m long. The length
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of Vector A is 3 m

and Magnitude of vector B is 4 m

So the maximum value of resultant can be 7 m when both are at an angle of 0^{\circ}

and its minimum value can be 1 m when both are at angle of 180 ^{\circ}

So the resultant must lie between 1 m to 7 m

(TCO 4) A signal consists of only two sinusoids, one of 65 Hz and one of 95 Hz. This signal is sampled at a rate of 245 Hz. Find
storchak [24]

Answer:

65 Hz, 95 Hz, 150 Hz, 180 Hz, 310 Hz, 340 Hz

Explanation:

Given :

Frequencies of the sinusoids,

$f_{m_1}= 65 \ Hz$ ,  and

$f_{m_2}= 95 \ Hz$

Sampling rate f_s = \ 245 \ Hz

The positive frequencies at the output of the sampling system are :

$f_{o_1}=\pm f_{m_1} \pm nf_s, f_{o_2}=\pm f_{m_2} \pm nf_s $

When n = 0,

$f_{o_1}= f_{m_1} = 65 \ Hz,\ \  f_{o_2}= f_{m_2} = 95 \ Hz $

when n  = 1,

$f_{o_1}=\pm f_{m_1} \pm f_s, \ \ f_{o_2}=\pm f_{m_2} \pm  f_s $

$f_{o_1}= \pm 65 \pm 245,\ \  f_{o_2}=\pm 95 \pm 245$

$f_{o_1}= 180 \ Hz, 310 \ Hz,\ \  f_{o_2}= 150 \ Hz,340 \ Hz$

When n = 2,

$f_{o_1}= \pm 65 \pm 2(245),\ \  f_{o_2}=\pm 95 \pm 2(245)$

$f_{o_1}= 555 \ Hz, 425 \ Hz,\ \  f_{o_2}= 395 \ Hz,585 \ Hz$

Therefore, the first six positive frequencies present in the replicated spectrum are :

65 Hz, 95 Hz, 150 Hz, 180 Hz, 310 Hz, 340 Hz

A roller coaster starts from rest at point A. What is its speed at point C if the track is frictionless.
OleMash [197]
At A, coaster is only associated with potential energy.
At B, coaster is associated with kinetic as well as potential energy.
Since the track is frictionless, no energy will be lost when coaster reaches from point A to point B. Therefore, according to conservation of energy, total energy at A should be equal to total energy at B.
Total energy at A = mgh = mg(12) 
Total energy at B = mgh+ mv²/2 = mg(2) + mv²/2
∴12mg = 2mg + mv²/2
∴(12g-2g)×2 = v²
∴v² = 20g
∴v = 14m/s.

Again conserving energy at points B and C.
Total energy at B = 2mg + m(14)²/2 
Total energy at C = 4mg + mv²/2
∴2mg + m(14²)/2 = 4mg + mv²/2
Solving this you get,
v = 12.52 m/s.
Therefore, speed of roller coaster at point C is 12.52 m/s.

The maximum torque on a set of 20 square loops with edge lengths of 6 cm in a 4.0 T magnetic field is:A) 0.288 N-m.B) 4.8 N-m.C)
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

option (D

Explanation:

Torque is given by

torque = N x i x A x B x sinФ

where, N is number of turns, A is area, b is the magnetic field and Ф be the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector, i be the current.

So, torque depends on the current.

option (D)

A 60.watt light bulb runs for 5.0 seconds. How much energy does it use?
VikaD [51]

"watt" means "Joule of energy per second"

"60 watts" means "60 Joules per second"

(60 joules per second) x (5 seconds) = <em>300 Joules of energy</em>
