How does conduction occur?

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Charles' law explains which of these phenomena?

Luden [163]

I think the correct answer would be that Charles' law explains why a balloon deflates when the air around it cools. Charles' law is a simplification of the ideal gas law. At constant pressure, volume and temperature have a direct relationship. Hope this helps.

A car is traveling at 114 m/s and changes its velocity to 77 m/s in 9 sec.

suter [353]

Answer:

Given -

Initial Velocity, u = 114 m/s
Final velocity, v = 77 m/s.
Time taken, t = 9 sec.

To find - 

Acceleration of the car.

Solution -

Here, using the equation of motion v = u + at we can find the acceleration easily.

★ Here,

V = Final velocity
U = Initial Velocity
A = Acceleration
T = Time.

Substituting the values -

→ 77 = 114 + a(9)

→ 9a = 114 - 77

→ 9a = 37

→ a = 37/9

→ a = 4.1 m/s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car will be 4.1 m/s.

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital spee

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s
