Answer:

In this case ice is not transferring cold to the person but person is transferring heat to the ice.

Explanation:

A person touches a large chunk of ice with his hand at that time their is difference of temperature between person's hand and chunk of ice. Person's hand has higher temperature than chunk of ice.

We know that heat transfer from higher temperature to lower temperature. In this case also heat is transferred from person's hand to chunk of ice. In this way chunk of ice will start melting and man's hand start getting cold due to transfer of heat.

In this case ice is not transferring cold to the person but person is transferring heat to the ice.

Cold temperature can't "flow" into a warmer object, in this case, the person's hand. The heat energy of the hand gets transferred to the colder object, the ice.

What does it mean when work is positive?
Degger [83]

Answer:

To have a positive job, the two vectors must have the same direction

Explanation:

Work is a scalar defined as the scalar product of two vectors, the froce and the displacement. To have a positive job, the two vectors must have  

collinear and that their arrows point in the same direction.

You can also appreciate this from the work equation

       W = F. r

bold indicate vector

      W = F  r cos θ

 

With θ the angle between force and displacement

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0
Anna007 [38]
The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers

At cruise conditions, air flows into a jet engine at a steady rate of 60 lbm/s. Fuel enters the engine at a steady rate of 0.59
Amanda [17]

Answer:

ρ=0.0102lbm/ft^3

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must take into account the equation of continuity, this indicates that the sum of the mass flows that enter a system is equal to the sum of all those that leave.

Therefore, to find the mass flow of exhaust gases we must add the mass flows of air and fuel.

m=0.59+60=60.59lbm/s( mass flow of exhaust gases)

The equation that defines the mass flow (amount of mass that passes through a pipe per unit of time) is as follows

m=ρVA

Where

ρ=density

V=velocity

m=mass flow

A=cross-sectional area

solving for density

ρ=m/VA

ρ=60.59/{(1485)(4)}

ρ=0.0102lbm/ft^3

Suppose our Sun is about to explode. In an effort to escape, we depart in a spacecraft at v=0.800 c and head toward the star Tau
Levart [38]

Considering a scenario in which the Sun is going to explode.

In order to escape the explosion, we depart in a spacecraft with a speed of v = 0.8c.

The star Tau Ceti is 12 life years away.

At the midpoint of the journey, the Sun as well as Tau Cetik explode. at the same instant.

Imagine a hermit who is immobile with respect to both the Sun and Tau Ceti and resides on an asteroid that is midway between both. He observes the blast waves of both explosions as our spaceship passes him. This observer concludes that the two stars blew up simultaneously because he believes both stars to remain stationary.

In the frame of reference, the Sun and Tau Ceti explode at the same time and will remain stationary.
