A _______ satellite records reflected wavelengths from Earth's surface.

2 answers:

3 0

It is LandSat, a NASA based satelite that records, on a daily basis, multiple reflected wavelengths from the Earth's surface. The satelite measures reflection from both land and ocean upon the Earth. The system is utilised by scientists an policy makers around the world.

Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: $x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m$ .

Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?

maria [59]

The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference $\Delta T$ is
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ}$ is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J$
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

What is the period of a soundwave whose wavelength is 20.0 m? Use values from the book and show ALL of your work.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Period = 1/17 seconds

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Wavelength is related to period by the expression:

speed = wavelength / period 

If we are given the speed, then we can easily calculate the period at the wavelength of 20 m.

Given the speed of sound wave as 340 m/s

Period = Wavelength/ speed

= 20 m/340 m/s

= 1/17 seconds

The persistence of vision for normal eye is

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The answer is 1/16

Explanation:

1. Persistence of vision refers to the optical illusion that occurs when visual perception of an object does not cease for some time after the rays of light proceeding from it have ceased to enter the eye. 2. The persistence of vision for normal eye is 1/16 if a second.
