Answer:

Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation:

The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.

When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.

Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.

The core of a certain reflected reactor consist of a cylinder 10 ft high 10 ft in diameter The measured maximum-to-average flux

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Diameter = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Flux = 1.5

Power = 835 MW

We need to calculate the volume of cylinder

Using formula of volume

$V =\pi r^2 h$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\pi\times(1.524)^2\times 3.048$

$V= 22.23\m^3$

$V = 22.23\times10^{3}\ Liter$

We need to calculate the maximum power density in the reactor

Using formula of power density

$P=\dfrac{E}{V}$

Where, P = power density

E = energy

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{835\times10^{6}}{22.23\times10^{3}}$

$P=37561.85 = 37.562\times KW/L$

Hence, The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

A 30.0 g mass of iron at 24.5°C is heated to 45.0°C. The theoretical specific

diamong [38]

Answer:

276.135 J

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of Fe = 30.0 g

initial temperature = 24.5°C

final temperature = 45.0°C

specific heat of Fe = 0.449 J/g°C

We can determine the thermal energy added by using the formula;

Q = mcΔT

Q = 30.0g × 0.449 J/g°C × (45.0 - 24.5)°C

Q = 276.135 J

A car traveled 112.0m in 24.500s, what was a car’s average speed?

kodGreya [7K]

Average speed of the car is 4.57 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.

It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time

Here, distance = 112 m and time = 24.5 s

Speed of the car = 112/24.5 = 4.57 m/s
