Answer:

59.51 mph.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance (d) = 147 miles

Time (t) = 2.47 hours.

Speed (S) =?

Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed (S) = Distance (d) / time (t)

S = d/t

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed of the girl as illustrated below:

Distance (d) = 147 miles

Time (t) = 2.47 hours.

Speed (S) =?

S = d/t

S = 147 miles / 2.47 hours.

S = 59.51 miles per hour (mph)

Thus, the speed of the girl is 59.51 mph.

A 4.6-kg block of ice originally at 263 K is placed in thermal contact with a 15.7-kg block of silver (cAg = 233 J/kg-K) which i
Viktor [21]

Answer:

temperature at  326.44 K system achieve equilibrium

Explanation:

given data

mass of block of ice = 4.6 kg

temperature = 263 K

thermal contact =  15.7-kg

specific heat of silver  cAg = 233 J/kg-K

initially temperature = 1052 K

to find out

what temperature will the system achieve equilibrium

solution

first we consider final temperature of the system  is T

we know that specific heat of water (C w) = 4186 J(kg K)

and

specific heat of ice ( C i )  = 2030 J/(kg K)

and

latent heat of fusion of ice ( Lf ) = 3.33 × 10^{5} J/kg

and we know that system is insulated

so  heat lost by silver = heat generated by ice    .................1

so we can say

mass of silver × specific heat of silver  × ( initial temp - final temp ) = mass of  ice × specific heat of ice  × ( ice temp ) + mass of  ice × latent heat of fusion of ice + mass of  ice × specific heat of water  × (final temperature )  

put here value we get

mass of silver × specific heat of silver  × ( initial temp - final temp ) = mass of  ice × specific heat of ice  × ( ice temp ) + mass of  ice × latent heat of fusion of ice + mass of  ice × specific heat of water  × (final temperature )

15.7  × 233 × ( 1052 - T ) = 4.6 × 2030 × 10 + 4.6 × 3.33 × 10^{5} + 4.6 × 4286 × ( T - 273 )

solve we get

T =  326.44 K

so temperature at  326.44 K system achieve equilibrium

What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat?
saw5 [17]

The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.

 

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>

Which electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?How do you know?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energies the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies. They have the highest energies because they have the highest frequencies, the higher the frequency the more energy. ( I think, maybe double check with other answers )

Good Luck :)

Select the correct answer.<br> Which type of energy is thermal energy a form of
elena-s [515]
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.
