Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

When a hot and cold object are placed in contact, the hot one loses energy. Does this violate energy conservation? Why or why no

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

This does not violate the conservation of energy.

Explanation:

This does not violate the conservation of energy because the hot body gives energy in the form of heat to the colder body, this second absorbs energy. This will be the case until both bodies reach the same temperature, reaching thermal equilibrium and reducing the transfer of thermal energy. In this way the energy was only transferred from one body to another but the total energy of the system (body 1 plus body 2) will be the same as in the beginning, respecting the principle of conservation of energy or also called the first principle of thermodynamics .

The part of physics that studies these processes is in turn called heat transfer or heat transfer or thermal transfer. Heat transfer occurs whenever there is a thermal gradient or when two systems with different temperatures come into contact. The process persists until thermal equilibrium is reached, that is, until temperatures are equalized. When there is a temperature difference between two objects or regions close enough, the heat transfer cannot be stopped, it can only be slowed down.

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of $32^{\circ}$ (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let $v_{1}$ denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let $v_{\text{air}}$ denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of $\theta_{1}$ to the normal and exited with an angle of $\theta_{\text{air}}$ . By Snell's Law, the sine of $\theta_{1}\!$ and $\theta_{\text{air}}\!$ would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}$ .

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle $\theta_{c}$ , total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now $90^{\circ}$ . (in this case, $\theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}$ .)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

$v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1})$ .

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For $0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}$ , $\sin(\theta)$ is monotonically increasing with respect to $\theta$ . In other words, for $\!\theta$ in that range, the value of $\sin(\theta)\!$ increases as the value of $\theta\!$ increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with $\theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}$ , the medium with the larger critical angle $\theta_{c} = 32^{\circ}$ would have a larger $\sin(\theta_{c})$ . such that light would travel faster in that medium.

Rainfall occurs on the earth due to effect of gravity

Anna [14]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Because </em><em>Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. Gravity also moves air and ocean water. ... Gravity pulls denser air and water downward, forcing less dense air and water to move upward.</em>

Aquifers are an example of which two are spheres interacting?

mash [69]

<h2>Answer::</h2>

Humans (biosphere) built a dam out of rock materials (geosphere). Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (geosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere).','.

PLEASE SHOW STEPS!

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

660 J/kg/°C

Explanation:

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water

-m₁C₁ΔT₁ = m₂C₂ΔT₂

-(0.45 kg) C₁ (21°C − 80°C) = (0.70 kg) (4200 J/kg/°C) (21°C − 15°C)

C₁ = 660 J/kg/°C
