Wood has 4 times the heat capacity as steel. If I add the same amount of heat to the same amount of steel and wood, I find the t

We balance the enthalpy absorbed by the steel and the enthalpy lost by wood. In this case, we use mCp ΔT to describe the problem. Cp (W) is 4 Cp(S). assuming the same mass,
mCp(W) ΔT1 = <span>mCp(S) ΔT2
</span>  4* <span>ΔT1  = 40 
</span><span>ΔT1 = 10. Hence the temperature of the wood is decreased by 10 degrees</span>

A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s

In any vector space au=bu implies a=b ? Trou or False​
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

(I guess if it were written "properly" it would be ax=bx implies a=b).

Given the axioms we were given, it would seem that the statement should be true, no?

A related statement -- also listed as false -- is that "in any vector space, ax=ay implies that x=y." Again, given the axioms we have.

Describe a situation where an object has a change in velocity but constant speed
arlik [135]
-- the little ball going round and round a spinning roulette wheel

-- a car driving around a curve in the road at a constant speed

-- any Earth satellite in a perfectly circular orbit.
The closest thing to it is a geostationary TV satellite ... they try hard
to make those orbits perfectly circular, and keep correcting them to
stay circular.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

5.59 m/s2

Explanation:

F = 1900 N

m = 340 kg

F = ma

Therefore, a = 1900/340 = 5.59

Two beams of coherent light travel different paths, arriving at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The path difference between the two waves should be one-half of a wavelength

Explanation:

When two beams of coherent light travel different paths, arriving at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P , then the condition for it is that the path difference of two beams must be odd multiple of half wavelength. Symbolically

path difference = ( 2n+1 ) λ / 2

So path difference may be λ/2 , 3λ/ 2,  5λ/ 2 etc .

Hence right option is

The path difference between the two waves should be one-half of a wavelength.
