When removing the objects from the oven, you accidentally touch each one with your hand. Rank these objects on the basis of how
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

So, we can assemble the options based or evaluation of there properties regarding getting an equilibrium or balanced state in a given time.We have the following rankings attributed to the elements:

  • Silveringpot≥ aluminiumpot ≥ironskillet  ≥glasscasseroldish ≥welldone steak ≥woodencuttingboard.

Explanation:

<u>Attaining equilibrium matters:</u>

When the materials are placed inside the oven, they attain a high temperature value causing it to be non touchable but some of the items has low value to attain the equilibrium state when comes in contact with other mediums. As these materials are also arranged based on that analyses.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that half life of an element is

T=0.693/λ

where λ is decay constant in order to find decay constant

λ=0.693/T

λ=0.693/8.04

λ=0.086

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is. (a) How m
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

a.

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

       = 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

       ≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

b

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

                                                         = 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

                                                         = 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

     = 30 × 10⁷/14.62

     = 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 37 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splas
Alchen [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>(a). 16.741 m/s</u></em>

<em><u>(b). 15.75 m/s</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Height of the cliff, h = 37 m

Time taken to reach the sound to us = 2.92 s

Speed of the sound in air at room temperature = 343 m/s

Now,

Let us say the speed of the ball = u m/s

So,

Time taken by the ball to reach at the bottom, t is given by,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 37}{9.8}}\\t=2.747\,s

So,

Splash is heard after = 2.92 s

So,

<u>Time taken by sound to travel the shortest distance along the hypotenuse of the triangle</u> thus formed is,

t = 2.92 - 2.747

t = 0.172 s

Now,

Distance traveled by sound is given by,

Distance=343\times 0.172\\Distance=59.02\,m

So,

In the triangle using the Pythagoras Theorem,

Horizontal distance traveled is,

D=\sqrt{59.02^{2}-37^{2}}\\D=45.99\,m

So,

Speed of throwing of ball is given by,

Distance=Speed\times Time\\45.99=u\times 2.747\\u=16.741\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 16.741 m/s.</u></em>

(b).

If,

Speed of sound = 331 m/s

So,

<u>Distance traveled by sound</u> is,

Distance=331\times 0.172\\Distance=56.932\,m

So,

Distance traveled in the horizontal by ball is,

Distance=\sqrt{56.932^{2}-37^{2}}\\Distance=43.269\,m

So,

Speed of the ball thrown is given by,

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Speed=\frac{43.269}{2.747}\\Speed=15.75\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 15.75 m/s.</u></em>
