Which type of heat transfer can happen through empty space?

<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 direct contact.

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

3. By Radiation, 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.

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

$F-F_f = ma$ (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

$F_f$ is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

$a=0.12 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as $F_f = \mu R$ (2), where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

$R-mg=0$ (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

$F-\mu mg = ma$

And solving for $\mu$ ,

$\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65$

A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field B with a velocity v at right angles to the field. It moves in a circle with p

alukav5142 [94]

A) d. 10T

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by

$F=qvB$

where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.

This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write

$qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

which can be rewritten as

$v=\frac{qB}{mr}$

The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):

$\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{qB}{mr}$

So, we get:

$T=\frac{2\pi m r^2}{qB}$

We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.

B) $a. f/10$

The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:

T' = 10 T

Then its frequency of revolution will be:

$f'=\frac{1}{T'}=\frac{1}{(10T)}=\frac{f}{10}$

You comb your hair and the comb becomes negatively charged. Strictly speaking, how will the mass of your hair change? A. it wil

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

C. it will not change.

Explanation:

While combing, the rubbing of the comb with the hair, transfer of electron takes place from the hair to the comb and the comb becomes negatively charged. But, this transfer of electron does not make any considerable change in the mass of the hair. This is because the mass of an electron is highly negligible. Now, neglecting the mass of an electron, the transfer of the electrons from the hair to the comb makes charging of the comb, but no loss of mass in the hair. So, the mass of hair will no change.
