Answer:
-36 m
Explanation:
In the diagram, the front of the black car is used as reference point which is point 0. The distance from the black car to the front of the red car is 15 m while the distance from the black car to the white van is - 21 m. The negative sign means the white van is behind the black car.
If the red car is used as the reference (point 0), the distance from the black car to the red car would be -15 m and the distance from the black car to the white van would be -21 m. Hence:
Distance from red car to white van = distance from the black car to the red car + distance from the black car to the white van = -15 + (-21)
Distance from red car to white van = -15 - 21 = -36 m
Answer:
Explanation:
When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of substance of mass m, the temperature of the substance increases by according to the equation
where
is the specific heat capacity of the substance
In this problem, we have:
m = 55.0 g is the mass of the sample of silver
is the amount of energy supplied to the sample
is the change in temperature of the sample
Solving the equation for , we find the specific heat capacity of silver:
Answer:
Explanation:
The question says that, "The closest star to the earth is 2 light years away. Calculate this distance in SI units".
Given that,
The distance between the closest star and the Earth is 2 light years.
The SI unit of distance is m. It means we need to convert light years to meters. We know that,
2 light-years means,
So, the required distance is equal to .
