All electromagnetic waves have the same speed when they're all in the same medium.

Note: Sound waves don't belong on this list, because they're not electromagnetic waves. The speed of sound in air is only about 0.0001 percent of the speed of electromagnetic waves in air.

almond37 [142]

After three half-lives have elapsed, the amount of an 8.0 g sample of a radionuclide that remains undecayed is 1.0 g.

<h3>What is Half-Life?</h3>

Half-Life refers to the time it takes for half the amount of a substance to disappear or change.

The nucleus of the atoms of radioactive elements disintegrate to half their starting amounts after every Half-Life.

After three half-lives one-eight of the original atoms remain.

Therefore, after three half-lives have elapsed, the amount of an 8.0 g sample of a radionuclide that remains undecayed is 1.0 g.

a hot piece of copper is placed in an insulated cup. what is the final temperature of the water and copper?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Option C. 30°C.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of water (Mw) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4.18 KJ/Kg°C

Initial temperature of water (Tw1) =

22°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tw1 = T2 – 22°C

Mass of copper (Mc) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of copper (Cc) = 0.386 KJ/kg°C

Initial temperature of copper (Tc1) = 115°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tc1 = T2 – 115°C

Final temperature (T2) =..?

Note: Both the water and the piece copper will have the same final temperature and the heat will be zero since the water will cool the piece of copper.

Thus, we can determine the final temperature of the water and copper as follow:

Q = MwCwΔT + McCcΔT

0 = 0.5 x 4.18 x (T2 – 22) + 0.5 x 0.386 x (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09 (T2 – 22) + 0.193 (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09T2 – 45.98 + 0.193T2 – 22.195

Collect like terms

2.09T2 + 0.193T2 = 45.98 + 22.195

2.283T2 = 68.175

Divide both side by the coefficient of T2 i.e 2.283

T2 = 68.175/2.283

T2 = 29.8 ≈ 30°C

Therefore, the final temperature of water and copper is 30°C.

What is the upper block's acceleration if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.13?
IgorLugansk [536]

Let us assume that pulley is mass less.

Let the tension produced at both ends of the pulley is T.

We are asked to calculate the acceleration of the block.

Let the masses of two bodies are denoted as m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}\ respectively

Let\ m_{1} =1 kg\ and\ m_{2} =2 kg

As per this diagram, the body having mass 1 kg is moving downward and the body having mass 2 kg is moving on the surface of the table.

Let the acceleration of each block is a .

For body having mass 1 kg:

The net force acting on 1 kg body will be-

                             m_{1} g-T=m_{1} a        [1]

Here tension in the rope will be vertically upward and weight of the body will be in vertical downward direction.

For body having mass 2 kg:

The coefficient of kinetic friction [\mu]=0.13

Hence\ the\ frictional\ force\ F=\mu N

                                                     F=\mu m_{2} g

Hence the net force acting on the body having mass 2 kg-

                                  T-\mu m_{2} g=m_{2} a  [2]

Here the tension of the rope is towards right i.e along the direction of motion of the 2 kg block and frictional force is towards left.

Combining 1 and 2 we get-

                           m_{1} g-T=m_{1}a             [1]

                           T-\mu m_{2}g= m_{2} a   [2]

                           ---------------------------------------------------

                           [m_{1} -\mu m_{2} ]g=[m_{1} +m_{2} ]a

                           a=\frac{m_{1}-\mu m_{2}} {m_{1}+ m_{2}}*g

                           a=\frac{1-[2*0.13]}{1+2} *9.8\ m/s^2

                           a=\frac{0.74}{3} *9.8\ m/s^2

                           a=2.417 m/s         [ans]

Explain why ice melts in a cup at room temperature, in terms of energy transfer and the second law of thermodynamics.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics describes the direction in which heat is transferred between systems, <u>heat is a form of energy</u> in transition.

This law says that heat or energy always flows spontaneously from the body or system with a higher temperature to a lower temperature system (from something hot to something cold, and not the other way around).

This is why if we leave an ice at room temperature it will eventually melt, because <u>the environment transferred energy to the ice</u> and caused its temperature to increase and thus to turn into a liquid form.

The second law can also be interpreted in terms of entropy, and tells us that entropy, which is often interpreted as a measure of disorder, always increases.
