Answer:

Inference

Explanation:

An inference involves the application of logic to progress from a premise to a conclusion or logical consequence on the basis of the evidence or known fact. Inference is a process of thought that be divided into a deduction and an induction aspect.

In the given question Halley, by standing outside was able to deduce the sound of thunder she is then able by inductive reasoning from the fact that storms are usually preceded by and accompany lightening, conclude that there is a storm coming.

In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3 /s of water flows from an elevation of 90-m to a turbine-generator, where electricity is g
Mariulka [41]

The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW

First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula

WP=ρQgh

Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head

Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW

Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as

η=\frac{electric power}{water power}

Plugging the values in the above equation

0.84=EP/57.38

EP=48.19 MW

Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
GaryK [48]

We will determine the wavelength through the relationship given by the distance between slits, this relationship is given under the function

y = \frac{m\lambda}{d}

Here,

m = Number of order bright fringe

\lambda = Wavelength

d = Distance between slits

Both distance are the same, then

y_1 = y_2

\frac{m_1\lambda_1 r}{d} = \frac{m_2\lambda_2 r}{d}

\frac{m_1\lambda_1}{m_2\lambda_2} =1

 Rearranging to find the second wavelength

m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda _2

\lambda_2 = \frac{m_1\lambda_1}{m_2}

\lambda_2 = \frac{7(629)}{8}

\lambda_2 = 550.3nm

Therefore the wavelength of the light coming from the second monochromatic light source is 550.3nm

1. Which mathematical representation correctly identifies impulse?
horsena [70]

Answer:

1. B. Impulse = Force × Time

2. A. The momentum of each ball changes, and the total momentum stays the same

3. -55 kg·m/s

4. B. 3.5 kg

5. C. 6.3 m/s

Explanation:

1. The impulse is the momentum change of an object due to a force applied for a given period

2. Given that the objects collide, and the force of the 3 kg mass moving with 24 kg·m/s acts on the 1 kg mass while the total momentum is conserved;

The stationary ball of mass 1 kg begins to moves at certain velocity after collision and therefore changes momentum, while the velocity of the ball of mass 3.0 kg reduces and the total combined momentum of the two balls in the closed system remains the same

3. By the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

The sum of the momentum before the collision = The sum of the momentum after collision

Given that the objects move together after the collision, the total momentum is therefore;

Total momentum = 110 kg·m/s + -65 kg·m/s + -100 kg·m/s = 110 kg·m/s - 65 kg·m/s - 100 kg·m/s  = -55kg·m/s

4. Given that the final velocity of the two objects (m₁ + m₂) combined = 50 m/s

Where;

m₁ = The mass of the first object

m₂ = The mass of the second object

The total momentum of the system = 250 kg·m/s

From momentum = Mass × Velocity, we have;

Mass = Momentum/Velocity = 250 kg·m/s/(50 m/s) = 5.0 kg

The mass (m₁ + m₂) = 5.0 kg

Given that m₁ = 1.5 kg, we have;

m₂ = 5.0 kg - m₁ = 5.0 kg - 1.5 kg = 3.5 kg

The mass of the second object = 3.5 kg

5. The mass of the cue stick = 0.5 kg

The velocity of the cue stick = 2.5 m/s

The mass of the ball = 0.2 kg

The initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

Given that total initial momentum = Total final momentum, we have;

0.5 kg × 2.5 m/s + 0.2 kg × 0 = 0.2 kg × v + 0.5 kg × 0

0.5 kg × 2.5 m/s = 0.2 kg × v

v = (0.5 kg × 2.5 m/s)/(0.2 kg) = 6.25  m/s ≈ 6.3 m/s

You have 4.9 g of an unknown substance. To identify the substance, you decide to measure its specific heat and find that it requ
kifflom [539]

The unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately 3.5 J/gK.

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to a certain substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where

Q is the amount of energy supplied

m is the mass of the sample

C_s is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem, we have

m = 4.9 g is the mass

Q = 668.85 J is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T = 39 K is the change in temperature

Solving for C_s, we find the specific heat capacity of the substance:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{668.85}{(4.9)(39)}=3.5 J/gK

Looking at tables of specific heat capacity, we can see that the unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately 3.5 J/gK.
