The ice melts because Thermal energy from Jan’s hand is transferred to the ice.

<h3>What is thermal energy?</h3>

Thermal energy is the energy due to temperature difference.

Thermal energy flows from hotter to colder bodies.

The ice Jan is holding melts because heat is transferred from his hands t the ice.

In conclusion, thermal energy flow causes melting.

On arrival at a vehicle collision, you observe a small fire in the engine compartment. A bystander is attempting to smother the
mina [271]

Answer:

<em>Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.

Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.

A black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.2
leva [86]

Answer:

Tension = 0.012 N

Explanation:

If the black widow spider is hanging vertically motionless from the ceiling above. Then, the weight of the spider must be balancing the tension in the spider web. Therefore,

Tension = Weight

Tension = mg

where,

m = mass of spider = 1.27 g = 0.00127 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Tension = (0.00127 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Tension = 0.012 N</u>

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0×10^(-2) kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to 19.6m/s² and the acceleration is directed upwards though the magnitude of the charge has doubled. This is because the electric force is directed upwards and from newton's second law of motion the charge will have acceleration in the same direction as the electric force on the charge.

Explanation:

The detailed solution can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful to you.
