Professor Whitney has a sample of lead and a sample of iron. The samples have equal mass. When Whitney heats the samples, the le

ad reaches a higher temperature than the iron, even though both samples absorbed the same amount of thermal energy. What can Whitney conclude from this experiment?

The temperature increase of a substance is T=Q/m*c, where m is the mass, Q is the energy absorbed and c is the specific heat.  So you can conclude that if the lead gets to a higher temperature, it must have a lower specific heat

What water pressure must a pump that is located on the first floor supply to have water on the thirteenth of a building with a p
irga5000 [103]

The water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

The given parameters;

  • <em>Pressure on the 13 th floor, P₁ = 35 PSI</em>
  • <em>Distance between each floor, d = 10 ft</em>

The vertical pressure of the water is calculated as follows;

P = \rho gh\\\\\frac{P}{h} = \rho g\\\\\frac{P}{h} = k\\\\\frac{P_1}{h_1} = \frac{P_2}{h_2} \\\\

The vertical height of the first floor from the 13th floor = 130 ft

The vertical height of the 13 ft floor = 10  ft

P_1 = \frac{P_2 h_1}{h_2} \\\\P_1 = \frac{35 \times 130}{10} \\\\P_1 = 455 \ PSI

Thus, the water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed
Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)

λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)

p \: photons =  \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}  ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m  }

= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

pball = pphotons =  \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s  }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }

pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s

Rom4ik [11]
<span>The correct option is D. Soil can best be described as the loose covering of weathered rocks and decaying organic matter. There are different types of soil, the type of soil formed depends majorly on the type of parent rock from which the soil is formed and the amount of organic matter present in the soil.</span>

Which particle is most likely to interact with your hand? Select one: a. Alpha particle b. Beta particle c. Gamma particle d. Ne
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

The alpha particle has the lowest penetrating power of the trio of alpha, beta and gamma particles and can be stopped by a sheet of paper and hence cannot penetrate a human skin. Beta particle has a higher penetrating power than alpha particle (some of it penetrates the human skin and some do not) while the gamma particle has the highest penetrating power (with all of it penetrating the human skin).

From the above description, it can be deduced that the alpha particle will stay and interact with the hand (because of its low penetrating power) as the remaining particles move through the skin.
