Answer:

A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work on it.

The heat capacity of 0.125Kg of water is measured to be 523j/k at a room temperature.Hence, calculate the heat capacity of water

Naily [24]

Answer:

A. 4148 J/K/Kg

B. 4148 J/K/L

Explanation:

A. Heat capacity per unit mass is known as the specific heat capacity, c.

C = Heat capacity/mass(kg)

C = (523 J/K) / 0.125 Kg = 4148 J/K/Kg

B. Volume of water = mass/density

Density of water = 1 Kg/L

Volume of water = 0.125 Kg/ 1Kg/L

Volume of water = 0.125 L

Heat capacity per unit volume = (523 J/K) / 0.125 L

Heat capacity per unit volume = 4148 J/K/L

Name three types of stress that a force can cause inside an object?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stress is the force applied to a rock and may cause deformation. The three main types of stress are typical of the three types of plate boundaries: compression at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shear at transform boundaries.

Starting from the front door of your ranch house, you walk 50.0 m due east to your windmill, and then you turn around and slowly

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Average velocity

$v=\frac{d}{t}\\ v=\frac{10m}{70s}\\v=.1428 \frac{m}{s}$

Average speed,

$S=\frac{D}{t}\\ S=\frac{90}{70}\\ S=1.29\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

(a)Average velocity

We have to find the average velocity. We know that velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.

To find the average velocity we have to find the total displacement.

since displacement along east direction is 50m

and displacement along west=40m

so total displacement,

$d=50m-40m\\d=10m$

total time,

$t=28 s+42 s\\t=70 s$

therefore, average velocity

$v=\frac{d}{t}\\ v=\frac{10m}{70s}\\v=.1428 \frac{m}{s}$

(b)Average Speed:

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance to the total time

it means

Average speed= total distance/total time

here total distance,

$D= 50m+40m\\D=90m$

and total time,

$t= 28s+40s\\t=70s$

therefore,

Average speed,

$S=\frac{D}{t}\\ S=\frac{90}{70}\\ S=1.29\frac{m}{s}$

Suppose you fill two rubber balloons with air, suspend both of them from the same point, and let them hang down on strings of eq

Ulleksa [173]

The charge on each the balloon is 100nC or 1.2 × 10^-7 C

Consider two balloons of diameter 0.200m each with a mass of 1.00g hanging apart with 0.0500m separation on the ends of string making angles of 10.0° with the vertical.

The charge on each balloon can be found from

$F_{e} = \frac{k_{e}q^{2} }{r^{2}} \\q = \sqrt{\frac{k_{e}q^{2} }{r^{2}}} \\\\q = \sqrt{\frac{(2\times10^{-3N}(0.25m)^{2}}{8.99\times10^{9}N\cdotm^{2}/C^{2}}\\$

$q = 1.2\times10^{-7}C$ or 100nC

An electric charge is the property of matter where it has more or fewer electrons than protons in its atoms. Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. The matter is positively charged if it contains more protons than electrons and negatively charged if it contains more electrons than protons.

How could you increase electric force using each factor

NNADVOKAT [17]

Increasing the separation distance between objects decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. And decreasing the separation distance between objects increases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. Electrical forces are extremely sensitive to distance.
