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.

A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. On one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The direction of motion of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

$Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

Now, substituting the given information we have:

$alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

$\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)$

Hence, we have that the direction of motion of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!

How are base units and derived units related?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

SI derived units

Other quantities, called derived quantities, are defined in terms of the seven base quantities via a system of quantity equations. The SI derived units for these derived quantities are obtained from these equations and the seven SI base units.

What does the law of conservation of energy state?

VikaD [51]

The total amount of energy remains constant in an isolated system. It implies that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be change from one form to another.

Which quantity can be calculated using Newton’s second law of motion?

DiKsa [7]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

The law shows the relationship among an object's mass
and acceleration, and the net force acting on it.

If you know any two of the quantities in the formula,
the law can be used to calculate the third one.
