Answer:3 \mu s

Explanation:

Given

Bianca is at x=600 m

i.e. distance between origin and Bianca is 600 m

time taken to reach Bianca eyes is

t=\frac{600}{speed\ of\ light}

t=\frac{600}{3\times 10^8}

t=2\times 10^{-6} s

t=2 \mu s

i.e. Cracker exploded at t=2\mu s because it is observed at t=4\mu s

Time taken by second cracker flash to reach Bianca eyes

t_2=\frac{300}{3\times 10^8}

t_2=10^{-6}

t_2=1 \mu s

Therefore it will be observed at t=3 \mu s

Calculate the change in the kinetic energy (KE) of the bottle when the mass is increased. Use the formula KE = mv2, where m is t
Aliun [14]

kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

given that : v = speed of the bottle in each case =  4 m/s

when m = 0.125 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.125) (4)² = 1 J

when m = 0.250 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.250) (4)² = 2 J

when m = 0.375 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.375) (4)² = 3 J

when m = 0.0.500 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.500) (4)² = 4 J

An airplane is delivering food to a small island. It flies 100 m above the ground at a speed of 150 m/s .
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The airplane should release the parcel 6.7*10^2 m before reaching the island

Explanation:

The height of the plane is y_0=100m, and its speed is v=150 m/s

When an object moves horizontally in free air (no friction), the equation for the y measured with respect to ground is

y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}    [1]

And the distance X is

x = V.t     [2]

Being t the time elapsed since the release of the parcel

If we isolate t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2] we get

X = V . \sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}

Using the given values:

x = 150 m/s  \sqrt{\frac{2\times 100m}{9.8 m/sec^2}}

x = 6.7*10^2 m

I take 1.0 kg of ice and dump it into 1.0 kg of water and, when equilibrium is reached, I have 2.0 kg of ice at 0°C. The water w
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

.c. −160°C

Explanation:

In the whole process one kg of water at  0°C loses heat to form one kg of ice and heat lost by them is taken up by ice at −160°C . Now see whether heat lost is equal to heat gained or not.

heat lost by 1 kg of water at  0°C

= mass x latent heat

= 1 x 80000 cals

= 80000 cals

heat gained by ice at −160°C to form ice at  0°C

= mass x specific heat of ice x rise in temperature

= 1 x .5 x 1000 x 160

= 80000 cals

so , heat lost = heat gained.

In an isolated system, the total heat given off by warmer substances equals the total heat energy gained by cooler substances. N
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The temperature of the cooler substance was close to the room temperature. Therefore, the system experienced less change

Explanation:

Generally, in a closed system containing two bodies at different temperatures, there is a flow of heat energy from the body at a higher temperature to the body at a lower temperature. The effect is more significant when there is a large temperature difference between the bodies. However, if the temperature difference is small or insignificant, the change will be less.
