Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why? ​

Physics

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

Using a 1-kW heater for one hour consumes more energy than using a 100-W bulb for twenty-four hours. Please select the best answ
Ierofanga [76]
Power is the amount of work done per unit of time. It will have units of Watts which is equal to Joules per second. We determine the energy of each system above by multiplying the power with time. We do as follows:

E(heater) =1000 W (1 hr) (3600s/hr) = 3,600,000 J
E(bulb) = 100 W (24 hr) (3600s/hr) =   8,640,000 J

Therefore, the answer would be false. It is the bulb that consumes more energy.

Soon after Earth was formed, heat released by the decay of radioactive elements raised the average internal temperature from 300
Oliga [24]

Answer:

97.03%

Explanation:

The equation for volumetric expansion due to thermal expansion is as follows

V/Vo=(1+γΔT)

V=final volume

Vo=initial volume

γ=coefficient of volume expansion=3.2 × 10–5 K–1

ΔT=

temperature difference

assuming that the earth is a sphere the volume is given by

V=(4/3)pi R^3

if we find the relationship between the initial and final volume we have the following

\frac{V}{Vo}  =\frac{ \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} }{ \frac{4}{3} \pi ro^{3}}=\frac{r^{3} }{ro^{3}}

taking into account the previous equation

r/ro=(1+γΔT)^(1/3)

r/r0=(1-3.2x10-5(3000-300))^(1/3)=

r/ro=0.9703=97.03%
