Answer:

221754385964.9123

Explanation:

Convert miles to nanometer

1 mile = 1.6 km

1 km = 1×10³×10³×10³×10³ nm

1 mile = 1.6×10¹² nm

So,

158 miles = 158×1.6×10¹² = 252.8×10¹² nm

Length of each molecule = 1140 nm

Number of molecules = Total length / Length of each molecule

$\text{Number of molecules}=\frac{252.8\times 10^{12}}{1140}\\\Rightarrow \text{Number of molecules}=221754385964.9123$

There are 221754385964.9123 number of molecules in a stretch of 158 miles

Answer:

$v_{2f} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}$

Explanation:

If the collision is elastic and exactly head-on, then we can use the law of momentum conservation for the motion of the 2 balls

Before the collision

$P_i = m_1v$

After the collision

$P_f = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

So using the law of momentum conservation

$P_i = P_f$

$m_1v = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

We can solve for the speed of ball 1 post collision in terms of others:

$v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

Their kinetic energy is also conserved before and after collision

$m_1v^2/2 = m_1v_{1f}^2/2 + m_2v_{2f}^2/2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1v_{1f}^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2$

From here we can plug in $v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v^2 - 2vv_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1} + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1^2}\right) + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1v^2 - 2vv_{2f}m_2 + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1} + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$v_{2f}^2(m_2 + \frac{m_2^2}{m_1}) - 2vm_2v_{2f} = 0$

$v_{2f}(1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}) = 2v$

$v_{2f} = \frac{2v}{1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2v}{\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}$

Mrac [35]

Water is usually used to cool down automobile engines when they get hot, yes. Therefore, that means water has a high heat capacity.

That makes the answer letter D you provided above.

D) Water has a high heat capacity.

Another example would be trying to put out a fire with a bucket of water. Usually, you can put out the fire debating on the size!

Answer:

1. The sound waves are longitudinal because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

2. A pulse or a wave is introduced into a slinky when a person holds the first coil and gives it a back-and-forth motion. This creates a disturbance within the medium; this disturbance subsequently travels from coil to coil, transporting energy as it moves.
