The acceleration is 2 mph/min

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity. It is defined as follows:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the car in this problem, we have (taking North as positive direction):

u = 25 mph

v = 35 mph

t = 5 min

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{35 mph-25mph}{5min}=2 mph/min$

A 40-W lightbulb is 1.7 m from a screen. What is the intensity of light incident on the screen? Assume that a lightbulb emits ra

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Intensity, $I=1.101\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

Power of the light bulb, P = 40 W

Distance from screen, r = 1.7 m

Let I is the intensity of light incident on the screen. The power acting per unit area is called the intensity of the light. Its formula is given by :

$I=\dfrac{P}{A}$

$I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

$I=\dfrac{40\ W}{4\pi (1.7\ m)^2}$

$I=1.101\ W/m^2$

So, the intensity of light is $1.101\ W/m^2$ .

Heat transfer between two substances is affected by specific heat and the

IgorLugansk [536]

The correct answer is D. Amount of time and area of physical contact between the substances.

Explanation:

Heat transfer refers to the flow of thermal energy or heat between two or more objects. This process involves multiple factors and implies heat from the hottest object goes to the coldest one until there is an equilibrium. To begin, heat transfer depends on the amount of thermal energy in the objects because objects must have a different amount of thermal energy for heat to flow.

Besides this, the amount of energy that flows depends on the time and the contact between the substances of objects. Indeed, objects need to be in contact or close to each other for heat to transfer, and the time needs to be enough for the process to occur. For example, if you place a pot over the fire just for a few seconds it is likely the heat transferred is minimal, which does not occur if you leave the pot more time. At the same time if the pot is in close contact with fire more heat will be transferred.-

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum is 434 nm.

Explanation:

It is given that, the wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum that corresponds to n₂ = 5 in the Balmer equation.

For Balmer series, the wave number is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_1^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_2^2})$
