A student said,Today, giraffes have long necks that allow them to eat leaves high in trees. They got longer necks by stretching up for even higher leaves. After many generations, the giraffe’s neck was really long.Do you think the student’s explanation for how the giraffe’s neck became long is correct? Explain.

You have just learned that the planet core of Mars is no longer radiating heat like the core of Earth. With this information what would you communicate to building designers as the lead geologist in regards to suitable building locations on the surface of Mars? Remember your informing builders about locations that would best avoid natural disasters like marsquakes and volcanoes? What evidence or theories do you have to support your statements?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

That is a fun question!

Without a hot radiating core like Earth, Mars will have very different geological and seismic events. The Mars core will be relatively cold and there will not be any molten magma. So Mars will not have earthquakes or volcano activities. Both only occur when there is magma flowing or tectonic plate motion and they will not occur with a cold core.

An aluminum-alloy rod has a length of 10.0 cm at 20°C and a length of 10.015 cm at the boiling point of water (1000C). (a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)? (b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm? /4mks

Answers

Answer:

a.  9.99625 cm b. 68 °C

Explanation:

(a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)?

Before we find the length of the rod, we need to find the coefficient of linear expansion, α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)] where L₀ = length of rod at temperature T₀ = 10.0 cm, T₀ = 20 °C, L = length of rod at temperature T = 10.015 cm and T = 100 °C

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)]

α = (10.015 cm - 10.0 cm)/[10.0 cm(100 °C - 20 °C)]

α = 0.015 cm/[10.0 cm × 80 °C]

α = 0.015 cm/[800.0 cm °C]

α = 0.00001875 /°C

We now find the length L₁ at T₁ = 0 °C from

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 +  0.00001875 /°C(0° C - 20 °C)]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 +  0.00001875 /°C × -20° C]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 - 0.000375]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[0.999625]

L₁ = 9.99625 cm

(b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm?

With length L₃ = 10.009 cm at temperature T₃, using

L₃ = L₀(1 + α(T₃ - T₀))

making T₃ subject of the formula, we have

L₃/L₀ = 1 + α(T₃ - T₀)

L₃/L₀ - 1 = α(T₃ - T₀)

T₃ - T₀ = (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

T₃ = T₀ + (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T₃ = 20 °C + (10.009 cm/10.0 cm - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + (1.0009 - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 0.0009/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 48 °C

T₃ = 68 °C

A bird in flight pushes itself upward with
a 7.28 N force. If the bird is climbing at a
constant rate of 1 m/s (no acceleration),
what is the weight of the bird?
[?] N

Answers

Answer:

The weight of the bird is equal to 7.28 N.

Explanation:

The upward force acting on the bird = 7.28 N

The bird is climbing at a constant rate of 1 m/s.

We need to find the weight of the bird.

We know that the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it. It can be calculated as follows :

W = mg

In this case, 7.28 N of force is acting on the object. Hence, the weight of the bird is equal to 7.28 N.

La resistividad de cierto alambre es 1.72x10 -8 Ωm a 20 oC .Una batería de 6v se conecta a una bobina de 20 m de este alambre, con un diámetro de 0.8 mm. ¿Cuál es la corriente en el alambre?

Answers

Answer:

   i = 1.09 10⁴ A

Explanation:

For this exercise we will look for the resistance of the wire

          R = ρ L / a

the area of ​​the wire is

          a =ππ r² = π πd² / 4

we substitute

         R = ρ L 4 / π d²

          R = 1.72 10⁻⁸   20  4/π 8 10⁻⁴

         

         R = 5.47 10⁻⁴ Ω

to calculate the current we use ohm's law

           V = R i

            i = V / R

            i = 6 / 5.47 10⁻⁴

            i = 1.09 10⁴ A

A nucleus with mass number 229 emits a 3.443 MeV alpha particle. Calculate the disintegration energy Q for this process, taking the recoil energy of the residual nucleus into account.

Answers

Answer:

3.504 MeV

Explanation:

Given that;[tex]\frac{A}{Z} X ---->\frac{A-4}{Z-2} Y +\alpha + Q[/tex]

Also;

[tex]Q= KE_{\alpha } (M_{Y} + M_{\alpha } /M_{Y[/tex])

Mass number of X = 229

Mass number of Y = 225

Mass number of alpha particles = 4

Kinetic energy of alpha particles = 3.443 MeV

Q = 3.443 MeV (225 + 4/225)

Q= 3.504 MeV

A charge Q acts on a point charge to create an electric field. Its strength, measured a distance of 40 cm away is 100 N/C. What is the magnitude of the electric field strength at a distance of 20 cm

Answers

Answer:

[tex]E_2=80N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Distance [tex]d_1=40cm=>0.4m[/tex]

Initial Electric field strength [tex]E_1=100N/C[/tex]

Final Distance [tex]d_2=20cm=>0.20m[/tex]

Generally the equation for Electric field is mathematically given by.

 [tex]E=\frac{kq}{d^2}[/tex]

 [tex]q=\frac{100*(0.4)^2}{K}[/tex]

Substituting q for [tex]d=20cm[/tex]

 [tex]E_2=\frac{k}{0.2}*\frac{100*(0.4)^2}{K}[/tex]

 [tex]E_2=80N/C[/tex]

In case you measured the stack, and it gave you less than an inch, then you need to do the same. For example: 0.5-inches/100 sheets = 0.005-inches per sheet.

I think it’s gonna be A.

B

Explanation:

if a positively charged rod is brought near the knob of a neutral electroscope, it will attract some electrons up from the leaves onto the knob. That process causes both of the leaves to be positively charged (excess protons), and the leaves will diverge.

Why does the initial hill of a roller coaster need to be steep?

Answers

Answer: A roller coaster does not have an engine to generate energy. The climb up the first hill is accomplished by a lift or cable that pulls the train up. This builds up a supply of potential energy that will be used to go down the hill as the train is pulled by gravity

Hope this helps! Good luck with future homework and exams!

A (200 g) of water at (80 °C) is mixed with (100 g)of water at (20 °C). What is the final temperature of the water?

Answers

Answer:

60 °C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of 1st sample (M₁) = 200 g

Temperature of 1st sample (T₁) = 80 °C

Mass of 2nd sample (M₂) = 100 g

Temperature of 2nd sample (T₂) = 20 °C

Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) =?

NOTE: Since the sample are the same, the specific heat capacity is constant.

We can obtain the equilibrium temperature as follow:

Heat lost by 1st = heat gained by the 2nd

M₁C(T₁ – Tₑ) = M₂C(Tₑ – T₂)

Cancel out C

M₁(T₁ – Tₑ) = M₂(Tₑ – T₂)

200 (80 – Tₑ) = 100 (Tₑ – 20)

Clear bracket

16000 – 200Tₑ = 100Tₑ – 2000

Collect like terms

16000 + 2000 = 100Tₑ + 200Tₑ

18000 = 300Tₑ

Divide both side by 300

Tₑ = 18000 / 300

Tₑ = 60 °C

Therefore, the equilibrium temperature (i.e the final temperature) of the mixture is 60 °C.
