How can you tell that toast is not warmed up by conduction?

Answer:

Toasting in a toaster is usually considered by (infra red) radiation. But the hot coils touch the toast so an element of heating by conduction occurs as well.

What do we mean when we say that 50 million tons of coal could replace the use of 0.6 MBPD (million barrels per day) of oil used

ololo11 [35]

<span>This statement simply implies that the 50 million tons of coal will produce the same energy output in one year as the 0.6 million barrels per day of oil. Assuming coal is more plentiful than oil, this is significant as 50 million tons is much smaller than 219 million barrels of oil.</span>

Answer:

6.378 * 10^6 m

Explanation:

Radius = 6378 km

Changing in metres

6378 km = 6378000 m

Now in scientific notation

= 6.378 * 10 ^ 6 m

How do you find the change in potential energy

ratelena [41]

P.E = mgh

This is the formula for potential energy.

This is where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

All you have to do is multiply all these numbers together.

A man pushes a shopping cart across a level floor. What force resists the effort force? A) gravity B) friction C) the normal for

Kipish [7]

Answer:

B) Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.

For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:

$F_f = \mu_k mg$

where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.

In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is

$F_f = \mu_s mg$

where $\mu_s$ is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
