Reflection from such a rough surface is called diffuse reflection and appears matte

Answer: Specular reflection

Explanation:

The law of reflection says that when a ray of light hits a surface, it bounces in a certain way, like a tennis ball thrown against a wall. ... Mirrors, however, don't scatter light in this way. With a smooth surface, light reflects without disturbing the incoming image. This is called specular reflection.

A transformer consists of a 500 turn primary coil and a 2000-turnsecondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0A, what i

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

$N_p= 500 \ turn$

$N_s= 200 \ turn$

$I_s= 3.0 \ A$

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ $\frac{N_p}{N_s} =\frac{I_s}{I_p}$

⇒ $I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}$

⇒ $=12.0 \ A$

How much heat will be needed to warm 187 grams of water from 10 0C to 90 0C?

kvv77 [185]

<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Here, you are looking for the amount of heat put in for water, at a mass of 187 grams, to change by 80 degrees.

The equation commonly accepted to find the answer to questions like these is the specific heat formula.

The equation is Q = mc∆T, where Q is the amount of energy put in to raise the temperature by a certain amount, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the amount of temperature change.

The information given:

m = 187 grams

c = specific heat capacity of water, or in this case 1 calorie, or 4.184 joules (which is what we will be using)

ΔT = 80 degrees

Now just plug everything in to solve.

Q = 187 * 4.184 * 80

Q = 62592.64

So you have your answer: 62592.64 joules.

Hope this helped!

A certain quantity of steam has a temperature of 100.0 oC. To convert this steam into ice at 0.0 oC, energy in the form of heat

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2452.79432 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of ice

$L_s$ = Latent heat of steam

$s_w$ = Specific heat of water

$L_i$ = Latent heat of ice

v = Velocity of ice

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

Amount of heat required for steam

$Q_1=mL_s\\\Rightarrow Q_1=m(2.256\times 10^6)$

Heat released from water at 100 °C

$Q_2=ms_w\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m4186\times (100-0)\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m0.4186\times 10^6$

Heat released from water at 0 °C

$Q_3=mL_i\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(333.5\times 10^3)\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(0.3335\times 10^6)$

Total heat released is

$Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3\\\Rightarrow Q=m(2.256\times 10^6)+m0.4186\times 10^6+m(0.3335\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow Q=3008100m$

The kinetic energy of the bullet will balance the heat

$K=Q\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=3008100m\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 3008100}\\\Rightarrow v=2452.79432\ m/s$

The velocity of the ice would be 2452.79432 m/s

A top-fuel dragster starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 42.0 m/s2. What are (a) the final velocity of the dragst

disa [49]

Answer:

a) Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 1.8 s

Substituting

v = u + at

v = 0 + 42 x 1.8 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 3.6 s

Substituting

v = u + at

v = 0 + 42 x 3.6 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 1.8 s

Substituting

s= ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 1.8 + 0.5 x 42 x 1.8²

s = 68.04 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 3.6 s

Substituting

s= ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 3.6 + 0.5 x 42 x 3.6²

s = 272.16 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m
