Select the correct answer. The formula below, Newton's law of cooling, allows us to calculate the temperature of an object as it

cools. T = R + (T0 − R)e-kt T = temperature of the object after t minutes T0 = initial temperature R = temperature of the surroundings k = cooling rate (depends on the object and conditions) Suppose the temperature in Denver, Colorado was 55°F when a 5°F arctic cold front moved over the state. Using k = 0.012, how long would it take a puddle of water to freeze? (Recall that water freezes at 32°F.) A. just over 51 minutes B. just over 55 minutes C. just over 61 minutes D. just over 65 minutes

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The water freezes in just over 51 minutes

Explanation:

T = R + (T₀ − R)e-ᵏᵗ

T = temperature of the object after t minutes = 32°F

T₀ = initial temperature = 55°F

R = temperature of the surroundings = 5°F

k = cooling rate (depends on the object and conditions) = 0.012

32 = 5 + (55 - 5) e-ᵏᵗ

32 - 5 = 50 e-ᵏᵗ

27/50 = e-ᵏᵗ

e-ᵏᵗ = 0.54

-kt = In 0.54 = - 0.6162

0.012 t = 0.6162

t = 51.3 minutes.

Why did scientists using classical, Newtonian physics have difficulty explaining the photoelectric effect?
alexandr402 [8]
Classical physics considered light to behave as a wave in all environments; it had a set amplitude, frequency etc. The problem was that this meant that there was a continuous variation in its properties, hence if the amplitude of the light was incresed by a bit, a phenomenon like the phhotoelectric one would become only marginally more apparent. However, in this case, there is a cutoff point which means that the only-wave theory had to be wrong.

Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3
