A hand is burned when touching a pot handle
tatuchka [14]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct answer is a hand is burned when touching a pot handle.

Explanation: There are 3 modes of heat transfer:

Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object.

Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

From the given options,

A hand is burned when touching a pot handle is an example of conduction because there is direct contact between the hand and pot handle.

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

The center of gravity method is used to ________ travel time
icang [17]

Answer:

minimizes

Explanation:

The center of gravity method consists of an algorithm for the location of an installation considering existing ones. This is a very simple technique and is usually used to determine the location of intermediate warehouses and distribution points taking into account the distances that separate them and the contribution (in terms of utility, production or capacity) of each installation.

This location method takes into account three transport factors:

Ci: Transportation cost per unit

Vi: Volume transported from unit i

di: Distance traveled in the transport of the unit i

The primary objective of this method is to find the best location of a given installation of a company with respect to the other elements that make it up, to guarantee the minimum possible time and the minimum Total Transportation Cost.

Given a double slit apparatus with slit distance 2 mm, what is the theoretical maximum number of bright spots that I would see w
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The values is  m_{max} = 8001 \  bright \ spots

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The slit distance is  d  =  2 \ mm  =  2*10^{-3} \ m

    The  wavelength is  \lambda =  500 \ nm =  500 *10^{-9} \ m

At the first half of the screen from the central maxima

   The number of bright spot according to the condition for constructive interference is  

          n  =  \frac{d *  sin (\theta )}{\lambda}

For maximum number of spot \theta =  90^o

So  

       n  =  \frac{2*10^{-3} *  sin (90 )}{500 *10^{-9}}

        n  =4000

Now for the both sides plus the central maxima  we have

      m_{max} = 2 * n  + 1

substituting values

       m_{max} = 2 *  4000 + 1

       m_{max} = 8001 \  bright \ spots
