How long does it take a plane that is traveling at 350 km/h to travel 1750 km?

Scientists often use models to study the movement of continents. Why might scientists use a model to show this movement? A. Extr

Answer:

Paleontologists have argued for a long time that the demise of the dinosaurs was caused by climatic alterations associated with slow changes in the positions of continents and seas resulting from plate tectonics. Off and on throughout the Cretaceous (the last period of the Mesozoic era, during which dinosaurs flourished), large shallow seas covered extensive areas of the continents. Data from diverse sources, including geochemical evidence preserved in seafloor sediments, indicate that the Late Cretaceous climate was milder than today's. The days were not too hot, nor the nights too cold. The summers were not too warm, nor the winters too frigid. The shallow seas on the continents probably buffered the temperature of the nearby air, keeping it relatively constant.

The Surface Pressure at Leh, Ladakh is 800 mb. Now, assuming that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m increase in he

Basile [38]

We have that the sea level pressure for Leh area is 1150mb mathematically given as

Ps= 1150 mb

<h3> Sea level pressure</h3>

Question Parameters:

Ladakh is 800 mb.

<u>assuming </u>that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m

increase in height with respect to sea level corresponds to 10 mb pressure,

Generally, for 3500m the pressure change will be 350 mb.

Therefore, here for the sea level <em>pressure</em> we need to add,

Ps=800+350

Ps= 1150 mb

4vir4ik [10]

The speed is 0.956 m / s.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The kinetic energy is equal to the product of half of an object's mass, and the square of the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

where K.E represents the kinetic energy,

m represents the mass,

v represents the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

1.10 $\times$ 10^42 = 1/2 $\times$ 3.26 $\times$ 10^31 $\times$ $v^{2}$

$v^{2}$ = (1.10 $\times$ 10^42 $\times$ 2) / (3.26 $\times$ 10^31)

v = 0.956 m / s.

You have 4.9 g of an unknown substance. To identify the substance, you decide to measure its specific heat and find that it requ

kifflom [539]

The unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately $3.5 J/gK$ .

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to a certain substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where

Q is the amount of energy supplied

m is the mass of the sample

$C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the substance

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

In this problem, we have

m = 4.9 g is the mass

Q = 668.85 J is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T = 39 K$ is the change in temperature

Solving for $C_s$ , we find the specific heat capacity of the substance:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{668.85}{(4.9)(39)}=3.5 J/gK$

Looking at tables of specific heat capacity, we can see that the unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately $3.5 J/gK$ .

A boat of mass 225 kg drifts along a river at a speed of 21 m/s to the west. what impulse is required to decrease the speed of t

zzz [600]

The impulse required to decrease the speed of the boat is equal to the variation of momentum of the boat:
$J=\Delta p=m \Delta v$
where
m=225 kg is the mass of the boat
$\Delta v=v_f-v_i=15 m/s-21 m/s=-6 m/s$ is the variation of velocity of the boat
By substituting the numbers into the first equation, we find the impulse:
$J=m\Delta v=(225 kg)(-6 m/s)=-1350 N s$
and the negative sign means the direction of the impulse is against the direction of motion of the boat.
