Distance= speed x time
distance = 2.6 m/s x 120s
distance= 312 meters
Answer:
The average velocity is 7.5 km/h
Explanation:
Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:
12 minutes = 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours
Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:
1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h
Answer:
Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida, the land surface is also sinking. If the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, sea level along the Florida coast is likely to rise one to four feet in the next century. Rising sea level submerges wetlands and dry land, erodes beaches, and exacerbates coastal flooding.
Explanation:
Answer:
Q = 1057.5 [cal]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.
where:
Q = heat energy [cal]
Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]
T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]
T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]
m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]
Now replacing:
![Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3D450%2A0.47%2A%2832-27%29%5C%5CQ%3D1057.5%5Bcal%5D)
Input heat, Qin = 4 x 10⁵ J
Output heat, Qout = 3.5 x 10⁵ J
From the first Law of thermodynamics, obtain useful work performed as
W = Qin - Qout
= 0.5 x 10⁵ J
By definition, the efficiency is
η = W/Qin
= 100*(0.5 x 10⁵/4 x 10⁵)
= 12.5%
Answer: The efficiency is 12.5%
