Answer:

Gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection because their particles are free to move away from each other (option A).

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat is transferred between two liquid substances, between two gaseous substances or a gas and a liquid when they are at different temperatures. The heat flux is produced from the body with the highest temperature to the substance with the lowest temperature.

The transmission of heat by convection is based on the actual movement of the molecules of a substance. Both liquids and gases are considered fluids where their particles are free to move away and move from each other. In solids particles vibrate around fixed positions and have a fixed volume .

Gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection because their particles are free to move away from each other (option A).

Sheila uses a 45N force on her bowling ball across a 15m lane. What work did she do on the bowling ball? Show your work.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

675J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 45N

Distance = 15m

Unknown:

Work done by Sheila = ?

Solution:

Work done by a body is the amount of force applied to make a body move through a distance;

Work done = Force x distance

Now;

Work done = 45 x 15 = 675J

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = $11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}$

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = $390\ W/m.^{\circ}C$

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

$q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}$

where

$\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C$ = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

$q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s$

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

$M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}$

where

$L_{w}$ = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

$M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g$

If you know the amount of air pressure exerted on a tabletop, how can you calculate the force exerted on the tabletop? Multiply

babymother [125]

Answer:

Multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

Explanation:

The relationship between pressure, force and area is given by:

$p=\frac{F}{A}$

where in this case, p is the air pressure, F is the force exerted and A the area of the tabletop. By re-arranging the equation, we can solve for F, the force exerted:

$p=\frac{F}{A}\\p\cdot A=\frac{F}{A}\cdot A\\pA=F$

So, the correct answer is:

The force exerted on the tabletop can be found by multiplying the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

A ball dropped from a window strikes the ground 2.76 seconds later. How high is the window above the ground

sweet [91]

Answer:

37.33m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt^2

Time t = 2.76secs

g = 9.8m/s^2

S = 0 + 1/2(9.8)(2.76)^2

S = 4.9*7.6176

S = 37.33

Hence the window is 37.33m above the ground
