Answer:

D) 15s

Explanation:

let Te be the period of the block-spring system on earth and Tm be the period of the same system on the moon.let g1 be the gravitational acceleration on earth and g2 be the gravitational acceleration on the moon.

the period of a pendulum is given by:

T = 2π√(L/g)

so on earth:

Te = 2π√(L/g1)

     =  6s

on the moon;

Tm = 2π√(L/g2)

since g2 = 1/6 g1 then:

Tm = 2π√(L/(1/6×g1))

      = √(6)×2π√(L/(g1))

and 2π√(L/(g1)) = Te = 6s

Tm = (√(6))×6 = 14.7s ≈ 15s

Therefore, the period of the block-spring system on the moon is 15s.

Why do conductors transfer heat faster than insulators?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Conduction is usually faster in certain solids and liquids than in gases. Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are especially good thermal conductors because they have freely moving electrons that can transfer thermal energy quickly and easily.

Heat transfer by convection happens through the air, and there are millions of minuscule air spaces between the fibers. Heat transfer by radiation is also slow since one fiber must radiate its heat to another.

When we give heat then kinetic energy is increase and this heat is transferred from hot metal to cold metal through this free electrons. As in insulator the free electrons are negligible so that the heat is not transferred from hot junction to cold junction due to absence of this free electrons.

How do the valves do in the heart​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle.
