Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.

Answer:

The speed after being pulled is 2.4123m/s

Explanation:

The work realize by the tension and the friction is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, so:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i$ (1)

Where:

$W_T=T*x*cos(0)=32N*3.2m*cos(30)=88.6810J\\W_F=F_r*x*cos(180)=-0.190*mg*x =-0.190*10kg*9.8m/s^{2}*3.2m=59.584J\\ K_i=0\\K_f=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_f^{2}=5v_f^{2}$

Because the work made by any force is equal to the multiplication of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Additionally, the kinetic energy is equal to $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ , so if the initial velocity $v_i$ is equal to zero, the initial kinetic energy $K_i$ is equal to zero.

Then, replacing the values on the equation and solving for $v_f$ , we get:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i\\88.6810-59.5840=5v_f^{2}\\29.097=5v_f^{2}$

$\frac{29.097}{5}=v_f^{2}\\\sqrt{5.8194}=v_f\\2.4123=v_f$

So, the speed after being pulled 3.2m is 2.4123 m/s

What are visible colors of light has the longest wavelength?

sasho [114]

Answer:

Red has the longest wavelength among all the visible colors of light.

Explanation:

Visible light is the only electromagnetic radiations which can be seen by human eye. When white visible light passes through a prism it breaks down into 7 distinctive colors of rainbow.

These are red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo and violet.

Red has the longest wavelength of around 700 nano meters with violet has the shortest wavelength of 380 nano meters.

A boy sledding down a hill accelerates at 1.40 m/s². If

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: He would reach 7m/s at the distance of 17,5m.

Explanation: In order for us to know how long it takes for the speed to be reached, we use the equation V= Vo + at, with V=7m/s, Vo= 0m/s since you start from rest and a=1.4m/s². T is the time in seconds that we want to find out.

7 = 0 + 1.4t

7 = 1.4t

t= 5s

Now, we want to know the distance this boy reaches in 5 seconds, in a 7m/s speed and accelarating in 1.4m/s². For finding this out, we use another equation, S = So + Vot + (at²)/2, S being the final distance, So = 0m because he started from rest, and the other variables used before.

S = 0 + 0*5 + [1.4*(5²)]/2

S = 0 + 0 + (1.4*25)/2

S = 35/2

S = 17,5m
