Answer:

The temperature change in Celsius is 46°C.

The temperature change in Fahrenheit is 82.8°F.

Explanation:

A degree of Celsius scale is equal to that of kelvin scale; therefore,

\Delta C = \Delta K  = 283K-237K\\\\ \boxed{\Delta C = 46^oC}

A degree in Fahrenheit is 1.8 times the Celsius degree; therefore

\Delta F  = 1.8(46^o)

\boxed{\Delta F = 82.8^oF}

Hence, the temperature change in Celsius is 46°C, and the temperature change in Fahrenheit is 82.8°F.

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider dives to a height of 278 mete
Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>The glider's new speed is 68.90 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Principle Of Conservation Of Mechanical Energy</u>

The mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. When the only potential energy considered in the system is related to the height of an object, then it's called the gravitational potential energy. The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and speed v is

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The gravitational potential energy when it's at a height h from the zero reference is

U=mgh

The total mechanical energy is

M=K+U

\displaystyle M=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states the total energy is constant while no external force is applied to the system. One example of a non-conservative system happens when friction is considered since part of the energy is lost in its thermal manifestation.

The initial conditions of the problem state that our glider is glides at 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The initial mechanical energy is

\displaystyle M_1=\frac{1}{2}m(45.2)v_o^2+m(9.8)(416)

Operating in terms of m

\displaystyle M_1=1021.52m+4076.8m

\displaystyle M_1=5098.32m

Then we know the glider dives to 278 meters and we need to know their final speed, let's call it v_f. The final mechanical energy is

\displaystyle M_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+m(9.8)(278)

Operating and factoring

\displaystyle M_2=m(\frac{1}{2}v_f^2+2724.4)

Both mechanical energies must be the same, so

\displaystyle m(\frac{1}{2}v_f^2+2724.4)=5098.32m

Simplifying by m and rearranging

\displaystyle \frac{v_f^2}{2}=5098.32-2724.4

Computing

v_f=\sqrt{4747.84}=68.90\ m/s

The glider's new speed is 68.90 m/s

Essam is abseiling down a steep cliff. How much gravitational potential energy does he lose for every metre he descends? His mas
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

720 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy that Essam loses for every metre is given by:

\Delta U=mg \Delta h

where

m=72 kg is Essam's mass

g=10 N/kg is the gravitational field strength

\Delta h=1 m is the difference in height

By substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

\Delta U=(72 kg)(10 N/kg)(1 m)=720 J

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is  

 \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is  n_F  =  1.497

     The  wavelength of the blue light is F  =  486.1 nm  =  486.1 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is  n_C  =  1.488

       The  wavelength of the red light is C =  656.3 nm  = 656.3 *10^{-9} \  m

    The incidence angle is  i  =  45^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light  in the acrylic block  is mathematically represented as

       r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_F} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.497} ]

      r_F  =  28.18^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

       r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_C} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.488} ]

      r_F  =  28.37^o

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

     \theta _d  =  r_C  - r_F

substituting values

       \theta _d  = 28.37 -  28.18

       \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

A cubical box, 5.00 cm on each side, is immersed in a fluid. The gauge pressure at the top surface of the box is 594 Pa and the
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The density of the fluid is 1100 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 5.00 cm

Pressure at top =594 Pa

Pressure at bottom = 1133 Pa

We need to calculate the change in pressure

Using formula of change in pressure

\Delta P=P_{b}-P_{t}

Where, P_{b} = Pressure at bottom

P_{t} = Pressure at top

put the value into the formula

\Delta P=1133-594

\Delta P=539\ Pa

Using formula of pressure for density

\Delta P = \rho g h

\rho =\dfrac{\Delta P}{gh}

Where, \rho = density

P = pressure

h = height

Put the value in to the formula

\rho =\dfrac{539}{5.00\times10^{-2}\times9.8}

\rho =1100\ kg/m^3

Hence, The density of the fluid is 1100 kg/m³.
