Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

Heat transfer through radiation. Radiation is one of the mode of heat transfer and is the transfer of heat from one body to another without passing through any intervening medium. It is the heat energy directly from the sun. This energy reaches the earth directly without obstruction.

What is the acceleration of an object with a mass of 15 kg and a coefficient of friction of 0.18
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a = 1.764m/s^2

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, the net force is F = ma.

The equation for friction is F(k) = F(n) * μ.

In this case, the normal force is simply F(n) = mg due to no other external forces being specified

F(n) = mg = 15kg * 9.8 m/s^2 =  147N.

F(k) = F(n) * μ = 147N * 0.18 = 26.46N.

Assuming the object is on a horizontal surface, the force due to gravity and the normal force will cancel each other out, leaving our net force as only the frictional one.

Thus, F(net) = F(k) = ma

26.46N = 15kg * a

a = 1.764m/s^2

The critical angle for a liquid in air is 520, What is the liquid's index of refraction? 0.62 0.79 1.27 1.50
sammy [17]

Answer:

Liquid's index of refraction, n₁ = 1.27

Explanation:

It is given that,

The critical angle for a liquid in air is, \theta_c=52^o

We have to find the refractive index of the liquid. Critical angle of a liquid is defined as the angle of incidence in denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90°.

Using Snell's law as :

n_1sin\theta_c=n_2sin\theta_2

Here, \theta_2=90

sin\theta_c=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}

Where

n₂ = Refractive index of air = 1

n₁ = refractive index of liquid

So,

n_1=\dfrac{n_2}{sin\theta_c}

n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(52)}

n₁ = 1.269

or n₁ = 1.27

Hence, the refractive index of liquid is 1.27

How can you use the position-time graphs for two in-line skaters to determine if and when one in-line skater will pass the other
Jet001 [13]

Explanation:

Position-time graphs measure/express the position of a skater over time relative to the start or finish of the race (depends on how it is used). Note: are the skaters in line vertically or horizontally? Like is one directly behind the other or are they next to each other?

If the two skaters are in line horizontally with each other, then their position will be the same relative to the start or finish of the race. This means if one passes the other one, the position would be different for all times after they pass. On the graph, it would look like one single line at the start (as position is same) which splits into 2 (representing the new difference in position due to 1 passing the other.

If the two skaters are in line vertically, their lines on the graph will appear parallel to each other (assuming they are going same speed) because the position is changing at the same rate, one is just reaching the same point after the other. If the skater behind overtakes the one in front. The lines on the graph will cross and continue either in parallel but with the other line on top to represent the moment where their position is the same right before they pass and after, where the second skater is now in front.

Hope this helped!

1)what is the definition of moment of inertia?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Moment of inertia is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation. So basically it's the object's resistance to a rotational acceleration. This relates to Newton's first law! What does that exactly mean? Let's check out the explanation.

One formula that it is written in is I= mrx^{2}

Explanation:

As Bill Nye says, "Inertia is a property of matter. Objects that are not moving don't move unless they get pushed or pulled. Moving objects keep moving unless they get pushed or pulled. This feature of objects and materials is what we call inertia."

I would check out Dan Fullerton's concept
