Answer:

Water is absorbing heat.

Explanation:

Water is able to absorb heat

-<u> without increasing much in temperature</u> - better than many substances.

This is because for water to increase in temperature, water molecules must be made to move faster within the water; this requires breaking hydrogen bonds, and the breaking of hydrogen bonds absorbs heat.

A 1000-n weight is hanging from a 2.0 m long aluminum rod. A 500-n weight is hanging from a 1.0 m long aluminum rod. The two alu
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Both rod have the same tensile stress

Explanation:

Given information,

The weight first rod, W_{1} = 1000 N

The length of first rod, l_{1} = 2.0 m

The weight second rod, W_{2} = 500 N

The length of second rod, l_{2 = 1.0 m

The equation of tensile stress, σ = \frac{F}{A}

where

σ = tensile stress (N/m^{2} or Pa)

F = Force (N)

A = Area (N/m^{2} or Pa)

so

σ1 =  \frac{W_{1} }{A_{1} }, A = 2πl

    = \frac{1000}{2\pi(2) }

    = \frac{250}{\pi } N/m^{2}

now calculate σ2

σ2 =  \frac{W_{2} }{A_{2} }

     = \frac{500}{2\pi(1) }

     = \frac{250}{\pi } N/m^{2}

σ1/σ2 = \frac{250}{\pi } / \frac{250}{\pi }

σ1/σ2 = 1

σ1 = σ2

Hence, the tensile stress of first and second rod are the same.

Radium-226 emits alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) radiation.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

alpha

Alpha Radiation (α): A large, unstable nucleus decays to produce a smaller, more stable nucleus and an alpha particle (identical to a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He or ⁴₂α).

It has a very high ionizing energy and low penetrating power. It can be stopped by paper skin

Beta Radiation (β): A neutron in an unstable nucleus decays, forming a proton and emitting a beta (β) particle (identical to an electron, ⁰₋₁e or ⁰₋₁b) and resulting in a more stable nucleus.

It has high ionizing energy and penetrating power. It can be stopped by aluminium sheet

Gamma Radiation (γ): An unstable nucleus releases energy in the form of a high energy photon (no mass)to become more stable; this often accompanies other forms of radioactivity.

It has very high penetrating power and very low ionizing energy. It can be stopped by lead block.

(a) See graph in attachment

The appropriate graph to draw in this part is a graph of velocity vs time.

In this problem, we have a horse that accelerates from 0 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 s.

Assuming the acceleration of the horse is uniform, it means that the velocity (y-coordinate of the graph) must increase linearly with the time: therefore, the velocity-time graph will appear as a straight line, having the final point at

t = 10 s

v = 15 m/s

(b) 1.5 m/s^2

The average acceleration of the horse can be calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem,

u = 0

v = 15 m/s

t = 10 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{15-0}{10}=1.5 m/s^2

(c) 75 m

For a uniformly accelerated motion, the distance travelled can be calculated by using the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

a is the acceleration

In this problem,

u = 0

t = 10 s

a=1.5 m/s^2

Substituting,

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(10)^2=75 m

(d) See attached graphs

In a uniformly accelerated motion:

- The distance travelled (x) follows the equation mentioned in part c,

x=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So, we see that this has the form of a parabola: therefore, the graph x vs t will represents a parabola.

- The acceleration is constant during the motion, and its value is

a=1.5 m/s^2 (calculated in part b)

therefore, the graph acceleration vs time will show a flat line at a constant value of 1.5 m/s^2.
