Physics

Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

On a hot summer afternoon the tent made up of white fabric will be preferred because white colour is a bad absorber and good reflector of heat. Hence, it will be more convenient to stay under fabric tent made of white during this season because heat will be reflected which makes shade provided by such tent to be cool and enjoyable.

While the black fabric tent will be preferred during winter because black materials are good absorber of heat and are poor reflector.

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 n each. one pushes north, the other east. what is the equilibrant forc
romanna [79]
To get the solution you must need to draw a force triangle. Attach the head of the 60N north force arrow with the tail of the 60N east force arrow. The subsequent is the arrow connecting he tail and head of the two arrows. 
You get a right angled triangle, and the resultant is (60^2 + 60^2) ^0.5 = 84.85 N or 85 N northeast.

Two cars, initially at rest and 5 km apart at t=0 , simultaneously move toward each other. Car A travels at a constant speed of
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<em>d. 268 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where  

v = Speed of the object

d = Distance traveled

t  = Time taken to travel d.

From the equation above, we can solve for d:

d = v . t

And we can also solve it for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Two cars are initially separated by 5 km are approaching each other at relative speeds of 55 km/h and 12 km/h respectively. The total speed at which they are approaching is 55+12 = 67 km/h.

The time it will take for them to meet is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{5}{67}

t = 0.0746 hours

Converting to seconds: 0.0746*3600 = 268.56

The closest answer is d. 268 s

What is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.
