Thermal Conductors don't have to be hot to transfer heat, explain a situation when a ice cube would still transfer heat to anoth

An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).

A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.

If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F).  An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.

How would you find kinetic energy?
Flura [38]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

Two points are on a disk turning at constant angular velocity. One point is on the rim and the other halfway between the rim and
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The point on the rim

Explanation:

All the points on the disk travels at the same angular speed \omega, since they cover the same angular displacement in the same time. Instead, the tangential speed of a point on the disk is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the distance of the point from the centre of the disk

As we can see, the tangential speed is directly proportional to the distance from the centre: so the point on the rim, having a larger r than the point halway between the rim and the axis, will have a larger tangential speed, and therefore will travel a greater distance in a given time.
