In the Celsius scale each degree is one part of 100 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between boiling and freezing temperatures of water is 100 ° - 0 ° = 100 °, so one degree Celsius is one part of 100.

In the Farenheit scale, each degree is one part of 180 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between the boiling and freezind temperatures are 212 ° - 32 ° = 180°, so one degree Farenheti is one part of 180.

That means that 1 °C is a larger amount than 1 °C, so 20°C is a larger amount than 20°F.

Conclusion: 20 degree change represents a larger change in Celsius scale.

A sliver cylindrical rod has a length of 0.5 m and a radius of 0.4 m, find the density of the rod if it's mass is 2.640 kg
Serga [27]

Answer:

Density=10.50kg/m³

Explanation:

Solution,\\Height(h)=0.5m\\Radius(r)=0.4m\\Now, \\Volume=\pi r^{2} h\\\\Volume=\pi *(0.4m)^{2} *0.5m\\\\Volume=0.251327m^{3} \\\\Again,\\\\Density=\frac{mass}{volume} \\\\Density=\frac{2.640kg}{0.251327} \\\\Density=10.50kg/m^{3}

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

A hockey player skates with an average speed of 8.25 m/s. The distance the player will travel in 5.60 s is __________ .
OverLord2011 [107]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find this value, you need to remember the speed formula:

3 = 6 / 2

Speed = distance ÷ time

Rearrange to make distance the subject:

Distance = speed * time

Simply plug these values into this:

5.6 * 8.25 = 46.2

<h3>So the player will travel 46.2 metres!</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

A star is moving away from an observer at 1% of the speed of light. At what wavelength would the observer find an emission line
Ivan

Answer:

  λ = 5940 Angstroms

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the relativistic Doppler effect

        f’= f  √((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Where the speed in between the strr and the observer is positive if they move away

Let's use the relationship

         c = λ f

         f = c /λ

We replace

              c /λ’ = c /λ  √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

              λ = λ’ √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Let's calculate

             v = 0.01 c

             v = 0.01 3 10⁸

             v=  3 10⁶ m / s

             λ = 6000 √ [(1- 3 10⁶/3 10⁸) / (1+ 3 10⁶/3 10⁸)]

             λ = 6000 √ [0.99 / 1.01]

             λ = 5940 Angstroms
