A 50-gram sample of water is initially at a temperature of 22 °C. The sample is heated until the temperature is 32 °C The specif
forsale [732]

Answer:

500cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 50g

Initial temperature  = 22°C

Final temperature  = 32°C

Specific heat of water  = 1cal/g

Unknown:

Amount of heat absorbed by the water in calories  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

       H  = m c Ф

H is the amount of heat absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the temperature change

       H  = 50 x 1 x (32  - 22)  = 500cal

Two identical waves are traveling toward each other in the same medium. One has a positive amplitude, meaning that its peaks onl
Olin [163]
The correct answer is Destructive Interference.

Consider the image attached below. Two waves are travelling towards each other. Blue wave always has a positive peak and the red wave always has a negative peak.

Now imagine these waves are moving through a rope. If blue waves will try to move the rope in positive direction, the red wave will pull it down, and thus the two waves will cancel the effect of each other. Thus resulting in a destructive interference.

A jet travels at 489 meters per second how long does it take to travel 235 m? answer in seconds
Sladkaya [172]

if in 1 second the jet goes 428 meters and you want to know how long it takes to go 237 meters you just divide 237/428  

it can be written like this  

_1_ = __x__  

428 237  

cross multiply  

428 times x = 1 times 237  

428x=237  

divide by 428 on both sides  

x= 237/428  

x=0.5537 seconds

The magnitude of a negative of a vector is negative. O True O False
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

For any negative vector

\overrightarrow{r}=-x\widehat{i}-y\widehat{j}

The magnitude of the vector is given by

|r|=\sqrt{(-x)^{2}+(-y)^{2}}\\\\|r|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

As we know that square root of any quantity cannot be negative thus we conclude that the right hand term in the above expression cannot be negative hence we conclude that magnitude of any vector cannot be negative.
