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.

What is the photosynthes?

Westkost [7]

It is the process in which green plants make their food through a green pigment known as Chlorophyll by using sunlight, Carbon-dioxide and water. The result comes out with the formation of Oxygen as a byproduct. But in night they also respire like animals and photosynthesis does not occur. Photo means light and synthesis means manufacture.

you have a 200 kg bag being lifted with a block and tackle. If you pull with 100 newtons what is the MA of the system?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mechanical advantage of the system is equal to 19.62

Explanation:

The ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it is called mechanical advantage. In other words it is the ratio of output force to the input force.

In this problem mass=200kg

applied force=100N

input force=100N

output force= $mg=200 \times 9.8=196N.$

mechanical advantage $MA= \frac{1960}{100}=19.6$

It gives an idea about the efficiency of a mechanical device. It is indeed a measure of force amplification. In block and tackle system an assembly of ropes and pulleys is used to lift loads. When the moving block is supported by a greater number of rope sections the force amplification will be more.
