There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors). A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity. Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.

A garrafa térmica (também conhecida como "vaso de Dewar") é um dispositivo extremamente útil para conservar, no seu interior, co
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

A opção A está correta.

O sistema formado pela garrafa térmica e a água perde 400 cal de calor para o meio ambiente.

Option A is correct.

The system formed by the thermos and the water loses 400 cal of heat to the environment.

Explanation:

Quando a temperatura de um sistema reduz, fica claro que o sistema perdeu calor ou energia térmica. Como a temperatura é um dos indicadores mais claros disso, esta conclusão é hermética e correta.

Mas, para saber a quantidade de calor perdida para o meio ambiente, agora fazemos alguns cálculos de energia térmica.

Transferência de calor de ou para o sistema de água e garrafa térmica = c × ΔT

c = capacidade térmica do sistema de água e garrafa térmica = 80 cal /°C

ΔT = Alteração da temperatura do sistema de água e garrafa térmica = (temperatura final) - (temperatura inicial) = 55 - 60 = -5°C

Calor transferido = 80 × -5 = -400 cal.

O sinal de menos mostra que o calor é transferido para fora do sistema, ou seja, o calor é perdido no sistema.

Espero que isto ajude!!!

English Translation

The thermos (also known as "Dewar vase") is an extremely useful device to conserve bodies (essentially liquid) at high temperatures, minimizing energy exchanges with the environment, which is generally colder. A thermos contains water at 60 o C. The thermos + water set has a thermal capacity of C = 80 cal / o C. The system is placed on a table and, after a considerable period of time, its temperature decreases to 55 o C. In this case, it is concluded that the system formed by the thermos and the water inside:

a) lost 400 cal. B) gained 404cal. C) lost 4 850 cal. D) gained 4 850 cal. E) did not exchange heat with the external environment.

Solution

When a system's temperature reduces, it is clear to conclude that the system has lost heat or thermal energy. Since temperature is one of clearest indicators of this, this conclusion is airtight and correct.

But, to know the amount of heat lost to the environment, we now do some thermal energy calculations.

Heat transferrred from or to the water and thermos system = c × ΔT

c = heat capacity of the water and thermos system = 80 cal/°C

ΔT = Change in temperature of the water and thermos system = (final temperature) - (initial temperature)

= 55 - 60 = -5°C

Heat transferred = 80 × -5 = -400 cal.

The minus sign shows that the heat is transferred out of the system, that is, the heat is lost from the system.

Hope this Helps!!!

Reading Check: (Describe) how pressure changes as the velocity of a fluid<br> increases.
juin [17]

Answer:

Bernoulli's equation states mathematically that if a fluid is flowing through a tube and the tube diameter decreases, then the velocity of the fluid increases, the pressure decreases, and the mass flow (and therefore volumetric flow) remains constant so long as the air density is constan

(a) Consider a fusion generator built to create 3.00 GW of power. Determine the rate of fuel burning in grams per hour if the DT
Stels [109]

The rate of fuel burning in grams per hour if the DT reaction is used is 1.08 ×10^1^3 J/g per hour

<h3>How is the rate of fuel burning in grams per hour calculated when the D-T reaction is used?</h3>
  • D + T → He + n
  • The D-T fusion reaction results in a Helium (He) and  neutron (n)

E = 17.59 MeV

Mass = 2.014u + 3.016u

= 5.030u

Energy per Kg = (17.59×10^6×1.6×10^-^1^9) ÷ ( 5.030×1.66×10^-^2^7)

= 3.37×10^1^4 J/Kg

= 3.0× 10^9 J/g

Rate of fuel burning in grams per hour = 3.0× 10^9 ×  3600

= 3.6×3.0×10^1^2

= 1.08 ×10^1^3 J/g per hour
