Answer: B
Explanation:
It's not the time it took to heat the substance, so that rules out A and C.
This means that we only have to choose between
B. the area of contact
D. the area of the substances
(since everything else in each of those answers are the same)
Area of contact matters more (e.g. an object with greater surface area is exposed to the air more, will lose/gain heat quicker than an object with less surface area).
Answer:
The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s
speed of the S wave, v₂ = 5.5 km/s
The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;
Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁
then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.
v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)
v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂
v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂
t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂
The distance traveled is given by;
Δx = v₁t₁
Δx = (8.5)(132)
Δx = 1122 km
Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
Answer:
The pieces will attract one another
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy, we know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but transformed. If one piece of the toy that was neutral ends up having an electric charge (positive or negative), from the conservation of energy, the other piece must have a charge opposite to that on the other charged piece but equal in magnitude. These two pieces which are oppositely charged attracts each other, this shows that electric charge is conserved.
Answer:
1.1x10^-2N
Explanation:
We have the change in momentum as
P = 0.3(4.5+12)g.mph
= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3
Then the force that is exerted will be
F = p/∆t
∆t = 0.2
= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3/0.2
= 0.1341x16.5x10^-3/0.2
= 1.1x10^-2
Therefore the force that was exerted is equal to 1.1x10^-2
