<h2>Answer: Heat transfer by radiation</h2>

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the thermal transfer (heat) occurs:

1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the <u>direct contact.</u>

2. By Convection, heat transfer<u> in fluids</u> (like water or the air, for example).

3. By <u>Radiation</u>, by the electromagnetic waves (they can travel through any medium and in vacumm or empty space)

Since outter space is vacuum (sometimes called "empty"), energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. It must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium.

When the object is at half its amplitude from equilibrium, is the magnitude of its acceleration at half its maximum value?

Nezavi [6.7K]

We have F = kx or ma = kx where m and k are constants. Therefore, if x is halved, a must be halved too.

A 1.5m long string weighs 0.0020 kg. It is tensioned to 100N. A disturbance travels along it with a wavelength of 1.5m, find:a)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 1.5 m

mass of the string, m = 0.002 kg

Tension of the string, T = 100 N

wavelength, λ = 1.5 m

The propagation velocity of the wave is calculated as;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length \ of \ the \ string\\\\\mu = \frac{0.002 \ kg}{1.5 \ m} = 0.00133 \ kg/m\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{100}{0.00133} } \\\\v = 274.2 \ m/s$

Therefore, the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

A machine has a mechanical advantage of 4.5. What force is put out by the machine if the force applied to the machine is 800 N?

Ghella [55]

If the machine's mechanical advantage is 4.5, that means that

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force) .

We know the input force, and we need to find the output force. Rather than wander around the room looking at the floor while our hair smolders, let's try putting the numbers we know into the equation I wrote up there. OK ?

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force)

Output force = (4.5) x (800 N)

Now dooda multiplication:

<em>Output force = 3,600 N</em> .

That's exactly what the question asked for. So we're done !
