Answer:
So, insulation essentially works by creating a sort of barrier between the hot and the cold object. This barrier helps to reduce heat transfer by either reflecting the thermal radiation or by decreasing thermal conduction and convection from one object to the other.
Answer:
0.3 m
Explanation:
Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. The spring has elastic energy. After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.
Initial energy = final energy
mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²
Given:
m = 50 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 8 sin 20º m
v = 2 m/s
k = 30000 N/m
x₁ = 0.05 m
(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²
x₂ ≈ 0.314 m
So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length. However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.
x₂ − x₁
0.314 m − 0.05 m
0.264 m
Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.
Answer:

Explanation:
The time lag between the arrival of transverse waves and the arrival of the longitudinal waves is defined as:

Here d is the distance at which the earthquake take place and
is the velocity of the transverse waves and longitudinal waves respectively. Solving for d:
