True.

Conductivity is the ability to transmit heat, electricity or sound. Conductivity is a physical property.

A physical property is one which can be measured or observed without changing the composition or identity of a the substance.

Conductivity is a physical property because the composition of the substance does not change.

A copper wire is still a copper wire when it is conducting electricity. Like wise, an aluminum rod is still an aluminum rod when heated. It is conducting heat but the heat does not change it, it is still an aluminum rod during the whole process.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

W = 0

Explanation:

We are given with, a construction worker is carrying a load of 40 kg over his head and is walking at a constant velocity. He travels a distance of 50 m.

The work done by an object is given by :

$W=Fd$

F = ma

So,

$W=mad$

m is mass

a is acceleration

d is displacement

The worker is moving with constant velocity, its acceleration will be 0. So, the work done by the worker is 0.

An irregular object of mass 3 kg rotates about an axis, about which it has a radius of gyration of 0.2 m, with an angular accele

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 3 kg

Radius of gyration = 0.2 m

Angular acceleration = 0.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the applied torque

Using formula of torque

$\tau=I\times\alpha$

Here, I = mk²

$\tau=mk^2\times\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=3\times(0.2)^2\times0.5$

$\tau=0.06\ N-m$

$\tau=6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

Hence, The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

A man weighs himself twice in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, he weighs 824 N; when the elevator starts moving upward

kifflom [539]

Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2

Explanation:

When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:

W = g*m

where:

m = mass of the man

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:

824N = m*9.8m/s^2

824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg

Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.

Then the new weight is calculated as:

W = m*(g + a)

and we know that in this case:

W = 932N

g = 9.8m/s^2

m = 84.1 kg

Then we can find the value of a if we solve:

932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)

932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a

11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2

The correct option is C
