Answer:

The speed of sound in air when the temperature is 20°C is 343 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 20°C = 20+273=293 K

The speed of sound in air is the distance traveled divided by time.

We know that,

The relation between the speed of sound in air and temperature is defined as:

v= 331\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{273}}

Where, T = temperature in Kelvin

v = speed of sound in air

We substitute the value into the formula

v = 331\sqrt{\dfrac{293}{273}}

v = 342.9 = 343\ m/s

The speed of sound in air is 331 m/s at 0° C, 343 m/s at 20°C and 346 m/s at 25°C.

Hence, the speed of sound in air when the temperature is 20°C is 343 m/s.

In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a photon found that possesses twice as much energy as one in the blue region (
iren2701 [21]
<span>The answer is: ultraviolet The energy (E) of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency f, by Planck's formula: E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.625 * 10**-34 joule-second). The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength w by: f = c/w, where c is the speed of light, 3.0 * 10**8 meters per second. Combine these formulas and we see that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength by: E = hc/w If the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength, a photon with twice the energy has half the wavelength of our 442-nm. photon in this example. So its wavelength is 221 nm. which is in the ultraviolet range.</span>

A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a
castortr0y [4]

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

maxonik [38]

Answer: work must be done on the system  (Option A)

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics is the fundamental law of nature; it states that energy can be transferred from cold objects to hot objects only, if work is done on the system. If energy is added to the system then as a result the thermal energy would increase. Second law of thermodynamics is used to determine whether a process is spontaneous or not.  Moreover,the second law of thermodynamics is also used in refrigerators.
