A scalar quantity is one in which there is no direction given.

30 Lbs would be the answer, since there is no indicator of direction.

What evidence can you cite for the particle nature of light? 1. Refraction phenomenon of light 2. The many colors of light 3. Di

GalinKa [24]

Evidence for the particle nature of light are not: 1. refraction, 2. many colors of light, 3. diffraction. These are all phenomenon that support wave theory of light. Evidence for particle nature of light is photoelectric effect. Because it was discovered that you need discrete energies of light to eject electrons from a metal surface and not continuous as the wave theory of light suggests.

If 1495 j of heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 351 g sample of a metal from 55.0°c to 66.0°c, what is the specific he

forsale [732]

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q= mC_s \Delta T$
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and $\Delta T$ is the increase of temperature.

If we re-arrange the formula, we get
$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
$C_s = \frac{1495 J}{(351 g)(66.0^{\circ}C-55.0^{\circ}C)}=0.39 J/g^{\circ}C$

Let the displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200). Find the total displacement, instantaneous velocity and ins

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

A.) 39.5 m

B.) 0

C.) 60m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that a displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200).

To Find the total displacement,

Reduce everything by dividing them by 5

X(t) = 4t^2 - 3t + 40 ...... (1)

For instantaneous velocity, differentiate x(t). That is,

dy/dt = 60t - 15 ...... (2)

But dy/dt = velocity.

If dy/dt = 0, then

60t - 15 = 0

60t = 15

t = 15/60

t = 0.25s

Substitutes t in equation (1)

Total displacement will be

X(t) = 4(0.25)^2 - 3(0.25) + 40

X(t) = 0.25 - 0.75 + 40

Total displacement = 39.5 m

To calculate instantaneous velocity, substitute t into equation (2)

V = 60 (0.25) - 15

V = 0.

and to find instantaneous acceleration, differentiate dv/dt

dv/dt = 60

Therefore, acceleration = 60 m/s^2
