Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.

They are poor conductors because they keep the heat trapped in one spot, while other materials like metal let the heat go through itself.

Why is it cold in the mountains if heat rises?
hjlf

Answer:

look at explanation

Explanation:

If heat rises, then why is it so cold at the top of a mountain? Heat does indeed rise. More specifically, a mass of air that is warmer than the air around it expands, becomes less dense, and will therefore float atop the cooler air. ... So when warm air rises, it cools off.

  The diagram shows a tray of marbles being shaken from side to side.  As this happens some of the marbles jump out of the tray.
irakobra [83]
The marbles that are 'more energetic' fall out of the tray, in the same way particles have enough energy to escape and turn into a gas.

A car of weight 300N moved through a distance of 10m when pushed by 3 students
Sati [7]

The work done by the three students is 3,000 J.

The energy transferred in the process is 3,000 J.

<h3>What is work done?</h3>
  • Work done is the product of force and distance moved by the object.

W = Fd

The work done by the three students is calculated as follows;

W = 300 x 10

W = 3,000 J

<h3>What is energy transfer?</h3>
  • This is means by which energy is converted from one form to another.

The energy transferred in the process is determined by work energy theorem.

E = W

E = 3,000 J

Mkey [24]
This is a question on conservation of energy. That is,
mgh + KE1 = KE2
mgh +1/2mv1^2 = 1/2mv2^2
gh + 1/2v1^2 = 1/2v2^2

Where, h = 0.2 m, v1 =3.04 m/s
Therefore,
v2 = Sqrt [2(gh+1/2v1^2)] = Sqrt [2(9.81*0.2 + 1/2*3.04^2)] = 7.26 m/s

Now, Volumetric flow rate, V/time, t = Surface area, A*velocity, v
Where,
V = Av = πD^2/4*3.04 = π*(2.51/100)^2*1/4*3.04 = 1.504*10^-3 m^3/s

At 0.2 m below,
V = 1.504*10^-3 m^3/s = A*7.26
A = (1.504*10^-3)/7.26 = 2.072*10^-4 m^2

But, A = πr^2
Then,
r = Sqrt (A/π) = Sqrt (2.072*10^-4/π) = 0.121*10^-3 m
Diameter = 2r = 0.0162 m = 1.62 cm
