A. Because metal is a good conductor of heat.

If a frying pan wasn't a good conductor of heat it's purpose of cooking things wouldn't really be resolved. Without heat it couldn't cook well. I think lol that's my way of thinking.

Hope I helped :)

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 mm above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: $4.65\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given

Distance putty has to travel is 3.5 m

The initial speed of putty is 9.50 m/s

Using equation of motion to determine the velocity of putty just before it hits ceiling

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\Rightarrow v^2-(9.5)^2=2(-9.8)(3.5)\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=9.5^2-68.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{90.25-68.6}\\\Rightarrow v=4.65\ m/s$

So, the velocity of putty just before hitting is $4.65\ m/s$

Answer:

0.0312J

Explanation:

Let x be the distance the staple moves:

$x=0.150m-0.115m=0.035m$

And spring constant is $k=51.0N/m$

$PE=0.5kx^2\\=0.5\times 51.0\times 0.035^2\\\\=0.312$

Hence, the potential energy is 0.0312J

If 12V battery maintains a 4.5A current through a resistor what is the resistance of the resistor?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

2.7ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Voltage of the battery = 12V

Current = 4.5A

Unknown:

Resistance of the resistor = ?

Solution:

From Ohm's law, we know that;

V = IR

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

So;

R = $\frac{V}{I}$ = $\frac{12}{4.5}$ = 2.7ohms

I wish to use a step up transformer to turn an initial RMS AC voltage of 100 V into a final RMS AC voltage of 200 V. What is the

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1:2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial RMS AC voltage is 100 V and final RMS AC voltage is 200 V.

We need to find the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the secondary for step up transformer.

For a transformer, $\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}$

So,

$\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{100}{200}\\\\\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

So, the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the secondary is 1:2.
