Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the

top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?

In which direction is energy transferred as heat between two objects at different temperatures
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

From the object at higher temperature to the object at lower temperature

Explanation:

Heat corresponds to the transfer of thermal energy between two objects. Temperature gives a measure of "how much thermal energy an object has": the higher the temperature, the faster the molecules inside the object, the more thermal energy the object has. Therefore, an object at higher temperature has more thermal energy than an object at lower temperature, so the transfer of heat goes from the object at higher temperature to the object at lower temperature.

How far apart (in mm) must two point charges of 90.0 nC (typical of static electricity) be to have a force of 5.20 N between the
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

3.74 mm

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kqq'/r²............... Equation 1

Where F = force, q and q' = the two charges, r = distance between the two charges, k = proportionality constant.

making r the subject of the equation

r = √(kqq'/F)...................... Equation 2

Given: q = q' = 90 nC = 90×10⁻⁹ C,  F = 5.20 N, k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute into equation 2,

r = √(90×10⁻⁹ )².√(9.0×10⁹/5.2)

r = 90×10⁻⁹.√(17.31×10⁸)

r = (90×10⁻⁹)(4.16×10⁴)

r = 374.4×10⁻⁵ m

r = 3.74 mm

Hence the distance between the charge = 3.74 mm

a 0.13 kg stopper is attched to a 0.93 m length of string. the stopper is swung in.a horizontal circle making one revolution in
Crazy boy [7]

The speed of the stopper is 4.95 m/s, while the centripetal force on the stopper and the tension in the string is 3.42N each.

The mass of the stopper is 0.13 Kg, the length of the string to which it is attached is 0.93 m. The stopper swung and made one revolution in 1.18 seconds, so the time period of revolution of the stopper is 1.18 seconds.

The relation between the time period and the angular speed is,

T = 2π/W

W is angular speed and T is the time period of revolution.

Putting values,

1.18 = 2π/W

W = 5.32 rad/s.

The speed of the stopper can be found as,

v = rW

r is the length of the string,

V = 4.95 m/s.

The centripetal force on the stopper is given by,

F = MV²/r

Putting values,

F = 0.13 x 4.95 x 4.95/0.93

F = 3.42 N.

The tension in the string will be equal to the centripetal force on the stopper, so, the tension is 3.

42 N.

A small metal bar, whose initial temperature was 30° C, is dropped into a large container of boiling water. How long will it tak
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem on the basis of averaging , otherwise it will require integration which is a complex operation .

According to newton's law of cooling

dQ / dt = k ( T₁ - T₂ )

T₁ is temperature of surrounding  and T₂ is temperature of object .

For the heating by 2 degree

dQ = ms x ΔT , m is mass , s is specific heat and ΔT is rise of

= ms x 2

dt = 1 second

T₁ the average temperature of object = (30 + 32)  / 2 = 31

dQ = ms x ΔT

ms x 2 = k ( 100 - 31 )

k = 2 ms / 69

In the second case bar's temperature rises from 32 to 70

average temperature = 32 + 70 / 2 = 51

If t be the time required

dQ = ms x ( 70 - 32 ) = 38ms

38ms / t = k ( 100 - 51 )

38ms / t = (2ms / 69) x 49

t = 38 x 69 / (2 x 49)

= 26.75 s .
