Answer:

8 minutes

Explanation:

Part of the question is missing. Complete question is:

<em>Simpson drives his car 144 km with an average velocity of 24 m/s toward the east. How much time would Simpson save by increasing his average velocity to 26m/s East?</em>

Solution:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for Simpson to complete the drive moving at the initial velocity, 24 m/s. We can use the formula:

t=\frac{d}{v}

where

d=144 km = 1.44\cdot 10^5 m is the displacement

v=24 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

t=\frac{1.44\cdot 10^5}{24}=6000 s = 100 min

While driving at 26 m/s, the time taken will be

t=\frac{1.44\cdot 10^5}{26}=5538 s=92 min

So, Simpson will save 8 minutes.

The atomic number of an element is found by?
azamat

Calculate the number of neutrons. Now you know that atomic number = number of protons, and mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.

The first astronomer to show that spiral nebulae (today called spiral galaxies) have large Doppler shifts was
solong [7]

William Parsons was the first astronomer to show that spiral nebulae have large Doppler shifts.

<h3>What are Spiral nebulae?</h3>
  • In space, a nebula is a huge cloud of gas and dust. Some nebulae, including multiple nebulae, are made of gas and dust that have been released from the explosion of a dead star called a supernova. There are other nebulae that are star-forming regions.
  • Edwin Hubble began observing Cepheid variables in many spiral nebulae, including the alleged Andromeda Nebula, in 1923, demonstrating that they are, in fact, full-fledged galaxies outside our own. Since then, the phrase spiral nebula has lost favor.
  • One group of astronomers believed that spiral nebulae were parts of our Milky Way galaxy, whereas the other group believed that these objects were actual galaxies that were outside of the Milky Way galaxy.

An electric current heats a 221 g (0.221 kg) copper wire from 20.0 °C to 38.0 °C. How much heat was generated by the current?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Heat generated by the current = 1547.89 J

Explanation:

We have equation for heat energy H = mCΔT

Mass of copper = 0.221 kg

Specific heat of copper = 0.093 kcal/kgC° = 389.112 J/kgC°

ΔT = 38 - 20 = 18°C

Substituting in H = mCΔT

           H = 0.221 x 389.112 x 18 = 1547.89 J

Heat generated by the current = 1547.89 J

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

15 MW

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and distance moved.

W=fd where f represnt force while d is distance

Substituting f with 5 kN and 3 000 for d then

W= 5*3000=15000 kW which is equivalent to 15 MW
