Answer:

Today, scientists believe that the main reason the earth has had periodic ages is that the climate of earth is controlled by the difference in heating of it's surface by the sun. As for example, the equatorial regions are the warmest as the sun is vertically overhead of those areas and the polar regions where the sun is at the extreme angels are the coldest ones.

5. A bus starting from rest accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3m/s2 for 8s. Calculate the distance travelled

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

d = 96 meters

Explanation:

a = acceleration

t = time

d = distance

$d = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {t}^{2}$

$d = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times {8}^{2}$

$d = 96$

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$Q_T=63313.5\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature of skin, $T_s=34^{\circ}C$

initial temperature of steam vapour, $T_v=100^{\circ}C$

latent heat of steam, $L=2256\ J.g^{-1}$

mass of steam, $m=25\ g$

specific heat of water, $c=4190\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}=4.19\ J.g^{-1}.K^{-1}$

final temperature, $T_f=34^{\circ}C$

Assuming that no heat is lost in the surrounding.

We know:

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

Now the total heat given by the steam to form water at the given conditions:

$Q_T=Q_{Lv}+Q_w$ ..............................(1)

where:

$Q_{Lv}=$ latent heat given out by vapour to form water of 100°C

$Q_w=$ heat given by water of 100°C to come at 34°C.

putting respective values in eq. (1)

$Q_T=m(L+c.\Delta T)$

$Q_T=25(2256+4.19\times 66)$

$Q_T=63313.5\ J$

is the heat transferred to the skin.

What is the magnitude of electrical force of attraction between an copper nucleus (29 protons) and its innermost electron if the

Agata [3.3K]

The charge of the copper nucleus is 29 times the charge of one proton:
$Q=29 q= 29 \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C=4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C$
the charge of the electron is
$e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$
and their separation is
$r=1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m$

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by:
$F=k_e \frac{Qe}{r^2}$
where $k_e$ is the Coulomb's constant. If we substitute the numbers, we find (we can ignore the negative sign of the electron charge, since we are interested only in the magnitude of the force)
$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)}{(1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m)^2}=6.68 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
