Answer:

c = 115.92 q/g C

Explanation:

0.016 kg = 16 grams

q = Joules

m = mass (g)

t = (final temp. - initial temp)

c = specific heat

c = (1086.75 joules) / (175 C - 25 C) (16 g)

c = 115.92 q/g C

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a ligh

guapka [62]

Answer:

This is because the acceleration of objects due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object and is constant for all objects, therefore, all objects fall with the same speed.

Explanation:

The weight of an object or force of gravity acting on an object on the surface of earth is a product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically, w = mg

where, m=mass of the object; g = acceleration due to gravity

Also, from newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force on the object ,F = GMm/r²

where G is the gravitational constant; M is mass of Earth; m is mass of object; r is the distance of separation between the object and the center of mass of the earth which is approximately the radius of earth.

Since the weight of an object is equal to the force of gravitation acting on it

W = F

mg = GMm/r²

g = GM/r²

The expression above is that of the relationship between the force of gravity acting on a body on the earth's surface, the weight of that body and the acceleration due to gravity, g.

It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of objects due to gravity is constant for all objects and all objects fall with the same speed.

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

The concentration of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid is regulated by :

Liula [17]

Answer:

Kidney

Explanation:

One of the main function of the kidney is to maintain the homeostasis of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body.

Aldosterone is a key steroid hormone that balances sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid. Potassium and sodium ions generate electric impulse in the body which helps to perform different activities such as muscles flexing.

Kidney function for reabsorption and secretion, in which reabsorption of Na is done nd balances the sodium and potassium in the blood and body.

C. A could be ruby (speed of light = 170,000 km/s); B could be diamond (speed of light = 120,000 km/s).

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a light rays crosses the boundary between two different mediums.

When this occurs, the light wave changes speed and also direction, according to Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$ (1)

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the first medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the second medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

The index of refraction is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in the medium (v):

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

Using this definition, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}$

Where $v_2$ is the speed of light in the 2nd medium and $v_1$ the speed of light in the 1st medium.

Now let's analyze the situation represented in the figure: we see that as the light ray enters the 2nd medium, it bends towards the normal, this means that the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence:

$\theta_2 < \theta_1$

This means that

$\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1}$

And therefore,

$\frac{v_2}{v_1}$

So, the speed of light in the second medium is smaller than the speed of light in the first medium: this occurs only in option C), which is therefore the correct choice.
