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 student says that a speed of 50 m/s is faster than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is bigger. What would you say to the
ladessa [460]

The units are not consistent - 1 m/s is not the same as 1 km/h.

First thing to do would be to convert from one unit of speed to the other, say km/h to m/s. There are 1000 meters (m) for every kilometer (km) and 3600 seconds (s) for every hour (h), so

1\,\dfrac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm h}\cdot\dfrac{10^3\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm{km}}\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm h}{3600\,\mathrm s}\approx0.278\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

So in fact 1 km/h is about 4 times slower than 1 m/s.

What is the speed of a cyclist that rides west 88 km in 32 minutes?
suter [353]

Answer:

The speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

Explanation:

Given

  • The distance d = 88 km
  • Time t = 32 minutes

To determine

We need to find the speed of a cyclist.

In order to determine the speed of a cyclist, all we need to do is to divide the distance covered by a cyclist by the time taken to cover the distance.

Using the formula involving speed, time, and distance

s=\frac{d}{t}

where

  • s = speed
  • d = distance covered
  • t = time taken

substitute d = 88, and t = 32 in the formula

s=\frac{d}{t}

s=\frac{88}{32}

Cancel the common factor 8

s=\frac{11}{4}

s=2.75 km/min

Therefore, the speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

You are singing a song at karaoke and reach a part that requires a louder, more intense sound. What must you do to produce a lou
FrozenT [24]

More energy is used in creating a louder sound from the mouth.

<h3>What must you do to produce a louder sound?</h3>

We use more energy in order to produce a louder sound because energy is the thing that helps in the formation of loud sound. Loudness is dependent on the energy that creates loud sound in the mouth. More energy we apply, more loud sound will produce. Energy is the main factor which gives us a loud sound in each and every instruments. Without, we can't imagine loud sound.

So we can conclude that more energy is used in creating a louder sound from the mouth.
