Answer:

269,000

Explanation:

The distance between Proxima Centauri and the Sun, d₁₁ = 4.246 light years

The distance between Earth and the Sun, d₂ = 1.58 × 10⁻⁵ light years

The ratio of the distances are;

d₁/d₂ = 4.246/(1.58 × 10⁻⁵) = 268734.177215 ≈ 269,000 times

Therefore, Proxima Centauri is approximately 269,000 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun

A copper rod of length 27.5 m has its temperature increases by 35.9 degrees celsius. how much does its length increase?(unit=m)
gavmur [86]
<h2>The increase in length = 1.87 x 10⁻²</h2>

Explanation:

When copper rod is heated , its length increases

The increase in length can be found by the relation

L = L₀ ( 1 + α ΔT )

here L is the increased length and L₀ is the original length

α  is the coefficient of linear expansion and ΔT is the increase in temperature .

The increase in length = L - L₀ = L₀ x α ΔT

Substituting all these value

Increase in length = 27.5 x 1.7 x 10⁻⁵ x 35.9

= 1.87 x 10⁻² m

Fifteen grams of substance X at 95 degrees Celsius is mixed with 45 grams of substance Z at 85 degrees Celsius in a container wh
Viefleur [7K]
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.

(a) The electric potential due to a point charge is given by V = kq⁄r where q is the charge, r is the distance from q and k = 8.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

a)  [volts] = [N m / C],

b) The lines or surface that has the same potential are called equipotential

c) the equipotential lines must also be perpendicular to the electric field lines

Explanation:

a) find the units of the volt

the electric potential energy is

             V = k q / r

             V = [N m² / C²] C / m

              V = [N m / C]

The electric potential is defined as

             V = E .s

             V = [N / C] [m]

             V = [N m / C] = [volt]

we see that in the two expressions the same result is obtained therefore the volt is

            [volts] = [N m / C]

b) The lines or surface that has the same potential are called equipotential surfaces, the great utility of these lines or surfaces is that a face can be displaced on it without doing work.

c) The electric potential is defined as the gradient of the electric field

             v =  - \frac{dE}{dx} i^

therefore the equipotential lines must also be perpendicular to the electric field lines
