1. Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?

Answer:

It may not be at the sea level

Explanation:

The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.

Answer:

The experiment is not performed at sea level.

Or

And also there may be presence of impurities in the water used for the experiment

Explanation:

The boiling point of pure water at sea level is 100°C, but the boiling point can be affected mainly by two factors;

i) Pressure

ii) impurities

At higher altitudes ( above sea level) the atmospheric pressure is reduced (the higher you go the lower the atmospheric pressure), thereby leading to reduced boiling point of water (at lower pressure water boils faster). While if the altitude is lower than sea level atmospheric pressure is higher so water boils at higher temperatures (above 100°C).

Secondly, presence of impurities(e.g salt) in water increases the boiling point of water in most cases.

Therefore, if water does not boil at 100°C it may be as a result of the elevation (altitude) or the water may contain impurities.

Answer:

Particles in a water wave exchange kinetic energy for potential energy. When particles in water become part of a wave, they start to move up or down. This means that kinetic energy (energy of movement) has been transferred to them

An unmarked police car traveling a constant 95 km/h is passed by a speeder. Precisely 1.00 s after the speeder passes, the polic
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Speed of the speeder will be 28 m/sec

Explanation:

In first case police car is traveling with a speed of 90 km/hr

We can change 90 km/hr in m/sec

So 90km/hr=\frac{90\times 1000m}{3600sec}=25m/sec

Car is traveling for 1 sec with a constant speed so distance traveled in 1 sec = 25×1 = 25 m

After that car is accelerating with a=2m/sec^2 for 7 sec

So distance traveled by car in these 7 sec

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=25\times 7+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7^2=224m

So total distance traveled by police car = 224 m

This distance is also same for speeder

Now let speeder is moving with constant velocity v

so 224=\left ( 1+7 \right )v

v = 28 m/sec

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1.5 * 10^-2 Tm^2

Explanation:

Electric Flux = B.A cos(theta)

B = 0.055 T

A = 0.32 m^2

theta = 30

Electric Flux = (0.055 T).(0.32 m^2).Cos(30) = 0.0152 = 1.5 * 10^-2 Tm^2
