Answer:

Temperature is also a condition that affects the speed of sound. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.

What does the geology of the two continents indicate about past events in Earth history?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rocks tell us a great deal about the Earth's history. Igneous rocks tell of past volcanic episodes and can also be used to age-date certain periods in the past. Sedimentary rocks often record past depositional environments (e.g deep ocean, shallow shelf, fluvial) and usually contain the most fossils from past ages.

A current of 0.92 a flows in a wire. how many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second? the charge on one ele

Fantom [35]

The current is defined as the ratio between the charge Q flowing through a certain point of a wire and the time interval, $\Delta t$ :
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
First we need to find the net charge flowing at a certain point of the wire in one second, $\Delta t=1.0 s$ . Using I=0.92 A and re-arranging the previous equation, we find
$Q=I \Delta t= (0.92 A)(1.0 s)=0.92 C$

Now we know that each electron carries a charge of $e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , so if we divide the charge Q flowing in the wire by the charge of one electron, we find the number of electron flowing in one second:
$N= \frac{Q}{q} = \frac{0.92 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=5.75 \cdot 10^{18}$

An aluminum-alloy rod has a length of 10.0 cm at 20°C and a length of 10.015 cm at the boiling point of water (1000C). (a) What

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. 9.99625 cm b. 68 °C

Explanation:

(a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)?

Before we find the length of the rod, we need to find the coefficient of linear expansion, α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)] where L₀ = length of rod at temperature T₀ = 10.0 cm, T₀ = 20 °C, L = length of rod at temperature T = 10.015 cm and T = 100 °C

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)]

α = (10.015 cm - 10.0 cm)/[10.0 cm(100 °C - 20 °C)]

α = 0.015 cm/[10.0 cm × 80 °C]

α = 0.015 cm/[800.0 cm °C]

α = 0.00001875 /°C

We now find the length L₁ at T₁ = 0 °C from

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 + 0.00001875 /°C(0° C - 20 °C)]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 + 0.00001875 /°C × -20° C]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 - 0.000375]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[0.999625]

L₁ = 9.99625 cm

(b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm?

With length L₃ = 10.009 cm at temperature T₃, using

L₃ = L₀(1 + α(T₃ - T₀))

making T₃ subject of the formula, we have

L₃/L₀ = 1 + α(T₃ - T₀)

L₃/L₀ - 1 = α(T₃ - T₀)

T₃ - T₀ = (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

T₃ = T₀ + (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T₃ = 20 °C + (10.009 cm/10.0 cm - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + (1.0009 - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 0.0009/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 48 °C

T₃ = 68 °C

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug

wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.

It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.

The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves. </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field, meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

What are three properties of electromagnetic waves?

Zolol [24]

The three properties of electromagnetic waves are; they travel at the speed of light, they include ultraviolet waves, and they can transfer energy through empty space.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A wave</h3>

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.

<h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>

Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.
Additionally, electromagnetic waves possess energy that is given by; E = hf; where h is the plank's constant and f is the frequency.
