State how heat loss by radiation is minimized in a thermos flask​

Physics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]2 years ago

Thermos bottles are equipped with the parts that can prevent the hot water from cooling down by the three ways: Supporting the inner container by a few heat-insulating supporters to minimize the heat loss through heat conduction, using a vacuum space between the outer and the inner vessels to eliminate the heat loss by the air convection, and giving a high reflectivity to the inner surface of the outer vessel and the whole surface of the inner container to reduce the heat loss due to the radiation cooling.

Ships A and B leave port together. For the next two hours, ship A travels at 40.0 mph in a direction 35.0° west of north while t
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Ship A velocity is 40 mph and is traveling 35 west of north

Therefore in 2 hours it will travel 40\times 2=80 miles

thus its position vector after two hours is

r_A=-80sin35\hat{i}+80cos35\hat{j}

similarly B travels with 20 mph and in 2 hours

=20\times 2=40 miles Its position vector[tex]r_B=40sin80\hat{i}+40cos80\hat{j}

Thus distance between A and B  is

r_{AB}=\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )\hat{j}

|r_{AB}|=\sqrt{\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )^2+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )^2}

|r_{AB}|=103.45 miles

Velocity of A

v_A=-40sin35\hat{i}+40cos35\hat{j}

Velocity of B

v_B=20sin80\hat{i}+20cos80\hat{j}

Velocity of A w.r.t B

v_{AB}=v_A-v_B

v_{AB}=\left ( -20sin80-40sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 40cos35-20cos80\right )\hat{j}

Suppose you exert 150 n on your refrigerator and push it across the kitchen floor at constant velocity. what friction force acts
Pachacha [2.7K]
Due that the velocity is constant that means that friction force is equal to the force exert by you, otherwise the refrigerator will accelerate or decelerate and in both cases velocity will not be constant.  
So then the friction force between refrigerator and floor is 150 Newtons.

A person's prescription for bifocals is -0.25 diopter for distant vision and +2.50 diopters for near vision, the near vision bei
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

net power is + 2.25 D

Explanation:

Given data

distance vision = -0.25 D

near vision = + 2.50 D

to find out

net power

solution

we have given a person lens power for near is - 0.25 diopter and lens power for near power is  +2.50 diopter so

net power is sum of both the power vision

so

net power = distance + near power

put both value we get net power

net power = ( -0.25 D) + ( + 2.50 D)

net power = + 2.25 D

so net power is + 2.25 D

What is the speed of a car that travels 150 km in 3.00 hrs?
zhuklara [117]
You would do distance divided by speed. So 150÷3, which would equal 5km per hour.

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m

Area under BC, d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under CD, d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m

Area under DE, d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under EF, d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".
