To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world's oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean w

ater, 3 km on each side, is cooled by 4 K. (Approximate the ocean water as pure water for this estimate.)

Answer:

Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

Explanation:

Thermal energy can be calculated with  

      Q = m c_{e} ΔT

in this case it indicates that we approximate seawater to pure water with  

    c_{e} = 4186 J/ kg K  

with the density

    ρ = m / V  

    m = ρ V  

    V = L³  

we substitute  

   m = ρ L³  

   Q = ρ L3 c_{e} ΔT

calculate  

   Q = 1000 (3 103) 3 4186 4  

   Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

a ball is thrown down at 25 m/s from a 500m tall building. how fast is it traveling when it hits the ground?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The speed of the ball when it hits the ground is 102.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of ball, u = 25 m/s

distance traveled by the ball = height of the building = h = 500 m

when the ball hits the ground, the final velocity, v = ?

The final velocity of the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v² = (25)² + 2(9.8)(500)

v² = 10425

v = √10425

v = 102.1 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball when it hits the ground is 102.1 m/s

Define quant......am physics​
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

<h2><u>✍</u><u> </u><u>What is quantum physics?</u></h2>

  • ➳ It's the physics that explains how everything works; the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they interact.
  • Quantum physics underlies how atoms work, and so why chemistry and biology work as they do.

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studied? an electromagnetic wave a gamma ray
Anettt [7]
<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.
