Answer:

not moving - upper right

moving with constant speed - lower left

speeding up - lower right

slowing down - upper left

Explanation:

For a stationary object, position is constant.

For constant speeds, gradient in constant.

For objects speeding up, gradient increases.

For objects slowing down, gradient decreases.

Ivan

Answer: Through tourism.

Explanation:

Since NASA space centre is located in Florida where NASA launches spaceflight, this is a huge tourist attraction for viewers in the United States and world entirely.

Florida generates income through people coming to view the launch of the spaceflight as tourism.

The tourists help in many ways like lodging into hotels, buying one or two things, taking transport from one place to another which will eventually help Florida economy.

From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 121.6 nanome

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

b) The star is moving away from us.

Explanation:

If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.

The bulb of the thermometer placed at the head of a distillation apparatus should be adjacent to the condenser. Explain the effe

Margarita [4]

Answer:

a) If the thermometer is placed well below the condenser it will record a higher temperature.

b) If the thermometer is placed well above the condenser it will record a lower temperature.

Explanation:

A) ) If the thermometer is placed below the opening to the condenser, a higher temperature will be recorded than if it is placed close to the opening since the bulb is contact with both the vapuor and liquid that is entering the condenser.

B) If the thermometer is placed above the condenser, a lower temperature will be recorded than if it is placed close to the opening since the bulb is not in full contact with both the vapuor and liquid that is entering the condenser.

Three metal fishing weights, each with a mass of 1.00x102 g and at a temperature of 100.0°C, are placed in 1.00x102 g of water a

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Approximately $0.253\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}$ assuming no heat exchange between the mixture and the surroundings.

Explanation:

Consider an object of specific heat capacity $c$ and mass $m$ . Increasing the temperature of this object by $\Delta T$ would require $Q = c\, m \, \Delta T$ .

Look up the specific heat of water: $c(\text{water}) = 4.182\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}$ .

It is given that the mass of the water in this mixture is $m(\text{water}) = 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g}$ .

Temperature change of the water: $\Delta T(\text{water}) = (45 - 35)\; {\rm K} = 10\; {\rm K}$ .

Thus, the water in this mixture would have absorbed :

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c\, m\, \Delta T \\ &= 4.182\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}} \\ &\quad \times 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} \times 10\; {\rm K} \\ &= 4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the energy that water absorbed was: $Q(\text{water}) = 4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}$ .

Assuming that there was no heat exchange between the mixture and its surroundings. The energy that the water in this mixture absorbed, $Q(\text{water})$ , would be the opposite of the energy that the metal in this mixture released.

Thus: $Q(\text{metal}) = -Q(\text{water}) = -4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}$ (negative because the metal in this mixture released energy rather than absorbing energy.)

Mass of the metal in this mixture: $m(\text{metal}) = 3 \times 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} = 3.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g}$ .

Temperature change of the metal in this mixture: $\Delta T(\text{metal}) = (100 - 45)\; {\rm K} = 55\; {\rm K}$ .

Rearrange the equation $Q = c\, m \, \Delta T$ to obtain an expression for the specific heat capacity: $c = Q / (m\, \Delta T)$ . The (average) specific heat capacity of the metal pieces in this mixture would be:

$\begin{aligned}c &= \frac{Q}{m\, \Delta T} \\ &= \frac{-4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}}{3.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} \times (-55\; {\rm K})} \\ &\approx 0.253\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .
