Which statement best describes how the temperature of the oceans surface water varies

1 answer:

8 0

If the temperature is high there is less water because it evaporates if it is cloudy it is more because it doesn't evaporate

Calculate the amount of momentum of an object with a mass of 10 kg travelling al a

irina [24]

Answer:

50kg.m/s

Explanation:

In order to find momentum you must use the formula P=mv

p= momentum

m=mass

v= velocity

so in other words, momentum= mass times velocity

or in this case, momentum= 10 times 5 :)

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

What is your hypothesis (or hypotheses) for this experiment?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: In that case, Put something like "My hypothesis is that the car will take (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 1, (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 2, (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 3, and (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 4" Replacing x with random numbers, or number close to the actual found numbers, but honestly as long as the guesses arent outrageous you should get the question right

A frictionless piston–cylinder device contains 7 kg of nitrogen at 100 kPa and 250 K. Nitrogen is now compressed slowly accordin

lora16 [44]

Answer: -1038.8 kJ

Explanation:

From the question, we can see that PV^n = constant. And as such, we can deduce that it is a polytropic process. Thus, we can use the polytropic work equation to calculate the needed work input.

from the question we were given

Mass of nitrogen, m = 7kg

initial temperature, T1 = 250k

Final temperature, T2 = 450k

Polytropic index, n = 1.4

Specific gas constant, R = 0.2968kJ/kgK

W = [p2 * v2 - p1 * v1] / 1 - n

W = [m * R * T2 - T1] / 1 - n

W = 7*0.2968*(450 - 250)] / 1 - 1.4

W = [7*0.2968*200] / -0.4

W = 415.52 / -0.4

W = -1038.8 kJ
