Can sound travel through space? Why or why not?

Answer:

I think sound does not travel at all in space. The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing.

A scientist adds different amounts of salt to 5 bottles of water. He then measures how long it takes for the water to boil. what

g100num [7]

The dependent variable is the amount of time it takes for the water to boil. This variable is dependent because is depends on the amount of salt.

Consider a horse pulling a buggy. Is the

Degger [83]

Yes, it's true.

But 2nd Newton Law always come to play when the horse is to move forward because obviously the forces interact antagonistically and mass has to be accounted for.

That's what I think. Hope it's right, all the best.

During lightning strikes from a cloud to the ground, currents as high as 2.50×10^4 Amps can occur and last for about 40.0 micros

dangina [55]

Answer:

1 C

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current is defined as

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge transferred

t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred

For the lightning in this problem, we have

$I=2.50\cdot 10^4 A$ is the current

$t=40.0 \mu s = 40.0\cdot 10^{-6} s$ is the time interval

Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:

$q=I t = (2.50\cdot 10^4 A)(40.0\cdot 10^{-6}s)=1 C$

39 g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.904 J/g·°C) at 24°C is placed in 166 mL (166 g) of coffee at 83°C and the temperature of th

tatuchka [14]

Answer: The final temperature of the solution is $80.14^oC$

Explanation:

The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, $\text{heat}_{absorbed}=\text{heat}_{released}$

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

Also,

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of aluminium = 39 g

$m_2$ = mass of coffee = 166 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_1$ = temperature of aluminium = $24^oC$

$T_2$ = temperature of coffee = $83^oC$

$c_1$ = specific heat of aluminium = $0.904J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of coffee= $4.1801J/g^oC$

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

$39\times 0.904\times (T_{final}-24)=-[166\times 4.1801\times (T_{final}-83)]$

$T_{final}=80.14^oC$

Hence, the final temperature of the solution is $80.14^oC$

Resistor 1 has a resistance of 10 N and

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Resistance 2.

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.
I represents current measured in amperes.
R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Note: Voltage is the same as potential difference.

Given the following data;

Resistance 1 = 10 Ohms

Current 1 = 3 Amperes

Potential difference 1 = current * resistance

Potential difference 1 = 3 * 10

Potential difference 1 = 30 V

To find the potential difference in 2;

Resistance 2 = 5 Ohms

Current 2 = 10 Amperes

Potential difference 2 = 10 * 5

Potential difference 2 = 50 V

Therefore, Resistance 2 has greater potential difference.
