Answer:

Explanation:

The light from these little disks is also refracted by Earth's atmosphere, as it travels toward our eyes. That's because, in the direction of any horizon, you're looking through more atmosphere than when you look overhead. If you could see stars and planets from outer space, both would shine steadily.

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J$

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

$\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J$

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q = $3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J$

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature = $\Delta T$

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T$

$\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K$

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1 Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

Describe the frequency and wavelength range of radio waves

sammy [17]

Answer:

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. They have frequencies from 300 GHz to as low as 3 kHz, and corresponding wavelengths from 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers.

A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage that takes her a distance 184 m straight west, then a distance 220 m in a

Sever21 [200]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define the unit vector i to point in the eastern direction, and the unit vector j to point in the northern direction.

The first distance is 184 m west. It is represented by
d₁ = -184 i

The second distance is 220 m at 30° south of east. It is
d₂ = 220(cos 30° i - sin 30° j) = 190.53 i - 110 j

The third distance is 104 m at 80 east of north. It is
d₃ = 104(sin 80° i + cos 80° j) = 102.42 i + 18.06 j

Let the fourth distance be
d₄ = a i + b j

Because the traveler ends back at the original position, the vector sum of the distances is zero. It means that each component of the vector sum is zero.

The x-component yields
-184 + 190.53 + 102.42 + a = 0
a = -108.95

The y-component yields
0 - 110 + 18.06 + b = 0
b = 91.94

The magnitude of the fourth displacement is
√[(-108.95)² + 91.94² ] = 142.56 m

The direction is at an angle θ north of west, given by
θ = tan⁻¹ (91.94/108.95) = 40.2°

Answer:
The fourth displacement has a magnitude of 142.56 m. It is about 40° north of west.

What makes an electric charge?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom. Conversely, two protons repel each other, as do two electrons. Advertisement. Protons and electrons create electric fields, which exert a force called the Coulomb force, which radiates outward in all directions.
