Answer:
Explanation:
The time taken by the light to travel a given distance is defined as:
Here c is obviously the speed of light. Now we convert the average distance form Venus to Earth to meters:
Finally, we calculate the minutes taken by the light to travel from Venus to Earth:
Answer:
40 N/m
Explanation:
F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)
F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N
-k = spring constant
x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm
x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters
Finally:
8N = -k (0.2m)
-k = 8N / 0.2 m
k = -40 N/m
Answer:
125.83672 seconds
Explanation:
P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)
m = Mass of professor = 103 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = Height of professor = 93 m
Work done would be equal to the potential energy
Power is given by
The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds
<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>
