In the case of metal, it comtains delocalised electrons which can move freely throughout the metal. when heat is applied to one end of the metal, the atoms and delocalised electrons gain more kinetic energy and move faster and they hit the neighbouring atoms more and heat is transfer theoughout the matal through conduction.

An object travels at a speed of 7500 cm/sec . how far will it travel in kilometers in one day

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

6480 km

Explanation:

The speed of the object is

v = 7500 cm/sec

We need to convert centimetres into kilometers and seconds into days. We have:

$1 cm = 1\cdot 10^5 km$

$1 s = \frac{1}{60\cdot 60 \cdot 24}d$

Using these conversion factors, we find:

$v=7500 \frac{cm}{s} \cdot 1\cdot 10^{-5} \frac{km}{cm}\cdot (24)(60)(60) \frac{s}{d}=6480 km$

The downward force produced when air flows over the winglike spoiler on a race car is an example of ___ principle

Murljashka [212]

As per bernoulli's principle

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

here

$P_1$ = pressure upwards

$P_2$ = pressure downwards

$v_1$ = velocity of air upwards

$v_2$ = velocity of air downwards

now from this equation we can say that the pressure difference will be

$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2$

now the force due to this pressure difference will be

$F = (P_1 - P_2)A$

so this is the above force which is given above
