Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

When boiling water, a hot plate takes an average of 8 minutes and 55 seconds to boil 100 milliliters of water. Assume the temper
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

90.9 seconds

Explanation:

m = Mass of liquid = Volume×Density

c = Specific heat

\Delta T = Change in temperature

t = Time taken

Room temperature = 75 °F

Converting to Celsius

(75-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=23.889\ ^{\circ}C

Heat required to raise the temperature of water

Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=100\times 10^{-6}\times 1000\times 4186\times (100-23.889)\\\Rightarrow Q=31860.0646\ J

Power

P=\frac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{31860.0646}{8\times 60+55}\\\Rightarrow P=59.55152\ W

Efficiency of the plate

\frac{59.5512}{283}\times 100=21.04282\%

Heat required to raise the temperature of water

Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=100\times 10^{-6}\times 784\times 2150\times (56-23.889)\\\Rightarrow Q=5412.63016\ J

P=\frac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{Q}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{5412.63016}{0.2104282\times 283}\\\Rightarrow t=90.9\ s

Time taken to heat the aceton is 90.9 seconds

Materials have unique properties because each one is made up of different kinds of which particle?
inysia [295]

D. Atoms.

Explanation:

All the matter is made of elementary particles called "atoms".

Further, an atom is made of electrons, protons and neutrons. The electrons & protons are again made of the fundamental sub-particles, electrons (leptons) and the protons(quarks).

The classification of particles is shown in the figure attached

Which of the following statements characterizing types of waves are true?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

a and b.

Explanation:

In general  types of wave

1. Transverse wave  :

    In these waves particle are vibrate perpendicular to motion of waves.

 Ex : Electromagnetic wave , Radio wave .

2. Longitudinal wave :

   In these waves particle are vibrate along the motion of waves.

 Ex : Sound wave

Mechanical wave  :

1 .These are transverse wave or Longitudinal wave or combination of them .

2.These waves required medium for propagation.

3. The particle are vibrate perpendicular to motion of waves.

So the option a and b are correct.

A swimming pool contains x (less than 0.02) grams of chlorine per cubic meter. the pool measures 5 meters by 50 meters and is 2
zubka84 [21]
The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
so start by doing: 
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2) 
500x - xV + 5V = 10 
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x 
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)
