Answer:

(c) is accelerating upward

Explanation:

When a person stand in an elevator moving upwards, he feels heavier because the elevator's floor presses harder on his feet, and the scale will show a higher reading than when the elevator is at rest.

According to Newton's second law

R = mg + ma

where;

R is the reading of the scale = apparent weight of the person

mg is the normal weight of the person

ma is the upward force acting on the person

Therefore, his apparent weight will be the greatest when the elevator is accelerating upward

(c) is accelerating upward

A 0.0663 kg ingot of metal is heated to 241◦C
Westkost [7]

Answer:280.216j/kg°C

Explanation:

Mass of metal=0.0663kg

mass of water=0.395kg

Final temperature=27.4°C

Temperature of metal=241°C

Temperature of water=25°C

specific heat capacity of water=4186j/kg°C

0.0663xax(241-27.4)=0.395x4186x(27.4-25)

0.0663xax213.6=0.395x4186x2.4

14.16168a=3968.328

a=3968.328 ➗ 14.16168

a=280.216j/kg°C

In which of the two situations described is more energy transferred?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

More energy is transferred in situation A

Explanation:

Each of the situations are analyzed as follows;

Situation A

The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 40 °C

The temperature of the interior of the freezer in which the chocolate is placed = -20 °C

We note that at 0°C, the water in the chocolate freezes

The energy transferred by the chocolate to the freezer before freezing is given approximately as follows;

E₁ = m×c₁×ΔT₁

Where;

m = The mass of the chocolate

c₁ = The specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/(kg·K)

ΔT₁ = The change in temperature from 40 °C to 0°C

Therefore, we have;

E₁ = m×4.184×(40 - 0) = 167.360·m kJ

The heat the coffee gives to turn to ice is given as follows;

E₂ = m·H_f

Where;

H_f = The latent heat of fusion = 334 kJ/kg

∴ E₂ = m × 334 kJ/kg = 334·m kJ

The heat required to cool the frozen ice to -20 °C is given as follows;

E₃ = m·c₂·ΔT₂

Where;

c₂ = The specific heat capacity of ice = 2.108 kJ/(kg·K)

Therefore, we have;

E₃ = m × 2.108 ×(0 - (-20)) = 42.16

E₃ = 42.16·m kJ/(kg·K)

The total heat transferred = (167.360 + 334 + 42.16)·m kJ/(kg·K) = 543.52·m kJ/(kg·K)

Situation B

The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 90 °C

The temperature of the room in which the chocolate is placed = 25 °C

The heat transferred by the hot cup of coffee, E, is given as follows;

E = m×4.184×(90 - 25) = 271.96

∴ E = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)

Therefore, the total heat transferred in situation A is approximately twice the heat transferred in situation B and is therefore more than the heat transferred in situation B

Energy transferred in situation A = 543.52 kJ/(kg·K)

Energy transferred in situation B = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)

Energy transferred in situation A ≈ 2 × Energy transferred in situation B

∴ Energy transferred in situation A > Energy transferred in situation B.

The wavelength of 10^15-Hz light is:
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

D.300nm

Explanation:

Wavelength = Speed of light / Frequency of light.....

where the speed of light is...(3 × 10^8)

Wavelength = (3 × 10^8)/(1 × 10^15)

Wavelength = 3 × 10^-7

;Wavelength = 300 × 10^-9

Hence its....300 nm
