Water has a high specific heat capacity. Oil has a smaller heat capacity.

Answer:

Because water has a high specific heat, each little bit of water flowing past can give lots of thermal energy to the ice cube. Oil has a smaller specific heat, and so more oil has to flow past to give the same amount of heat energy to the ice cube. ... Colder oil will melt ice less rapidly than warmer oil or water

Which of the following is a process that occurs at divergent boundaries?

PIT_PIT [208]

The appropriate answer is 4. The formation of Mid-Ocean ridges. There are two types of divergent margins: continental separation and oceanic floor spreading. Where the sea floor separates magma upwells and new oceanic crust is formed. Mid ocean ridges are home to hydrothermal vents. These support a unique ecosystem of marine organisms. The Mid- Atlantic Ridge where the African and Eurasian plates separate from the North and South American plates.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

$\omega = \frac{v}{R}$

$\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}$

$\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

$(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega$

The final angular speed is:

$\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Death Star has a diameter of 160,000m and a mass of 5.1e17kg. Millennium Falcon has a mass of 1.36e6kg (data from Wookieepedia)

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

7229 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Death Star and the Millenium Falcon is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg$ is the mass of the Death Star

$m=1.36\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the Millennium Falcon

$R=\frac{160,000 m}{2}=80,000 m$ is the radius of the Death Star

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.36\cdot 10^6 kg)(5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg)}{(80,000 m)^2}=7229 N$

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is

Ronch [10]

Complete Question

A gas gun uses high pressure gas tp accelerate projectile through the gun barrel.

If the acceleration of the projective is : a = c/s m/s2

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m and the projectile is initially at rest. The projectile accelerates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s=3m. What is the value of the constant c such that the projectile leaves the barrel with velocity of 200m/s?

Answer:

The value of the constant is $c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2$
