The correct answer to this question is : C) Conduction

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand conduction.

Conduction is the mode of transmission of heat in which heat will flow from a body at high temperature to a body at low temperature in contact or from hotter part of the body to its colder part, without any actual transport of particles.

As per the question, the heat is transferred to driver's hand when he touches the steering wheel.

As there is actual contact between hand and steering wheel, the heat transmission will be conduction.

The heat is transferred by conduction because the driver touches the car by contacting, the heat is transferred from hot to cold.

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​
8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

A block of amber is placed in water and a laser beam travels from the water through the amber. The angle of incidence is 35 degr
7nadin3 [17]
Answer: 1.88

Explanation

Applying Snell’s Law, sin(1)/sin(2) = n(2)/n(1), where n is the index of refraction and sin 1 and 2 being of incidence and refracted respectively.

1) sin35/sin24 = n(2)/1.33
2) 1.41 = n(2)/1.33
3) n(2) = 1.41 x 1.33
4) n(2) = 1.88

Hope this helps :)

A man, holding a weight in each hand, stands at the center of a horizontal frictionless rotating turntable. The effect of the we
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

 w = 2w₀     the angular velocity of man doubles

Explanation:

In this exercise, releasing the weights reduces the moment of inertia

       I= I₀ / 2

Therefore, since the platform system plus man is isolated, the kinetic moment must be conserved

         L₀ = L

       I₀ w₀ = I w

       I₀ w₀ = I₀ / 2 w

       w = 2w₀

therefore the angular velocity of man doubles

True/False: If an object stays still, but the observer moves, the Doppler Effect is still observered
Vladimir79 [104]

Well, Harry, what you said is not necessarily true the way you said it. 
But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.

The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
