Which statement best describes how light behaves with liquids, gases, and solids?

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °c. at higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be

Scilla [17]

<span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.
-------------------
I hope this is helpful. </span>

A 47-kg packing crate is pulled with constant speed across a rough floor with a rope that is at an angle of 37 degrees above the

levacccp [35]

Tension in the rope due to applied force will be given as

$F = 142 N$

angle of applied force with horizontal is 37 degree

displacement along the floor = 6.1 m

so here we can use the formula of work done

$W = F d cos\theta$

now we can plug in all values above

$W = 142 * 6.1 * cos37$

$W = 691.8 J$

So here work done to pull is given by 691.8 J

<h2>The temperature of the air is 66.8° C</h2>

Explanation:

From the Newton's velocity of sound relationship , the velocity of sound is directly proportional to the square root of temperature .

In this case The velocity of sound = frequency x wavelength

= 798 x 0.48 = 383 m/sec

Suppose the temperature at this time = T K

Thus 383 ∝ $\sqrt{T}$ I

The velocity of sound is 329 m/s at 273 K ( given )

Thus 329 ∝ $\sqrt{273}$ II

Dividing I by II , we have

$\frac{383}{329}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }$

or $\frac{T}{273}$ = 1.25

and T = 339.8 K = 66.8° C

A 0.400-kg object is swung in a circular path and in a vertical plane on a 0.500-m-length string. If the angular speed at the bo

Talja [164]

Answer:

T = 16.72 N

Explanation:

When the object is swung in a circular path, and in a vertical plane, there are two forces external to the object acting on it at any time: the gravity (which is always downward) and the tension in the string (which always points towards the center of the circle).

At the bottom of the circle, the tension is directly upward, so these two forces, are opposite each other, and the difference between them is the centripetal force , which at this point, keeps the object swinging in a circle.

This is the point of the trajectory where T is maximum.

We can apply Newton's 2nd Law, choosing an axis vertical (y-axis) being the upward direction the positive one, as follows:

T- m*g = m*a

The acceleration, at the bottom of the circle, is only normal (as there are no forces in the horizontal direction) , and is equal to the centripetal acceleration, as follows:

ac = v² / r = ω²*r⇒ T- m*g = m*ω²*r

Replacing by the givens, we can solve for T as follows:

T = m* (ω²*r+g) = 0.4 kg*((8.00)² rad/sec²*0.5m)+9.8 m/s²) = 16.72 N
