Distance =20km

Time =4hr

Hence,speed = 20 divide by 4
That is 5 km/hr

Answer: 5 km/hr

Explanation:

speed= distance divided by time

20/4

= 5 km/hr

A student is investigating the differences between light waves and sound waves. The student does this by using a capsule filled

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

The investigation is on differences between light waves and sound waves. Because the light and sound are transmitted at a 30° angle at a capsule with glass and vacuum, questions asked should show difference answers for light and sound.

First and third question talk about liquid which is not related here.

Fouth and sixth prediction are wrong as electromagnetic wave will not slow down or speed up in vacuum.

That leaves the second and fifth set as correct answers:

question: How are electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will continue through the vacuum, while the mechanical waves will go no farther.

question: How is the speed of electromagnetic waves affected when traveling from a solid glass medium to a vacuum at a 30° angle?

prediction: The electromagnetic waves will travel in a straight line, showing that they have maintained a constant speed.

What happens to the temperature and thermal energy of water when it is heated in a pot on the stove?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Both its temperature and its thermal energy will increase.

Explanation:

Objects are made up of particles. For example, water is made up of water molecules. The kinetic energy of a particle of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is equal to $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2$ ,

The thermal energy of an object measures the total kinetic energy of all its particles.
On the other hand, the temperature of that object measures the average kinetic energy of all these particles.

Water in that pot gains energy when the pot is heated. That would increase the total kinetic energy of these water molecules.

What about temperature? Assume that the number of water particles in the pot stays the same- In other words, assume that water in the pot does not evaporate. As the total kinetic energy of these water molecules increase, their average kinetic energy would also increase. As a result, it would appear that the temperature of water in that pot has increased.

Hi there!

Assuming the track is frictionless:
