Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

Therefore, average speed of the trip = $\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

From the graph attached,

Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

= 90 meters

Total time taken = 60 seconds

Average speed = $\frac{90}{60}$

= 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

Therefore, average velocity = $\frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}$

= $\frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}$

= $\frac{90-0}{60-0}$

= 1.5 meter per second

when two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of

Ahat [919]

<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q</h2>

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂ (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂ (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂ /2X /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1

Oil having a density of 926 kg/m3 floats on water. A rectangular block of wood 3.69 cm high and with a density of 974 kg/m3 floa

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

Explanation:

Given;

density of oil, $\rho _o$ = 926 kg/m³

density of the wood, $\rho _{wood}$ = 974 kg/m³

density of water, $\rho _w$ = 1000 kg/m³

height of the wood, h = 3.69 cm

Based on the density of the wood, it will position across the two liquids.

let the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids = x

Let the wood be in equilibrium position;

$F_{wood} - F_{oil} - F_{water} = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .gh - \rho _o .g(h-x) - \rho_w .gx = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h - \rho _o (h-x) - \rho_w .x = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h -\rho _o h + \rho _o x - \rho_w .x =0\\\\h (\rho _{wood} -\rho _o ) = x( \rho_w - \rho _o)\\\\x =h[\frac{ \rho _{wood} -\rho _o }{\rho_w - \rho _o} ]\\\\x = 3.69\ cm \times [\frac{974 - 926}{1000-926} ]\\\\x = 2.39 \ cm$

Therefore, the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

The height of the tower and the distance from its base form a right angle triangle. Thus,
tan(∅) = height / base
tan(28.81) = height / 1,000 m

When the material left behind has been carried by the glacier from its original location to a new location, this is called what

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Glaciers break rocks because of the thawing and icing of water in rock crevices. These rocks get carried in the glacier. The glaciers move because the base of the glaciers melts ever so slightly due to the weight of the glacier above (pressure reduces the melting point of ice). This smoothens the slipping of the glaciers . When the glaciers get to a warmer place, it melts and the rocks in it are deposited.
