If these are the missing choices: 
<span>A. gritty navy blue surface.
B. bumpy red surface.
C. dull orange surface.
D. Polished pale yellow surface.

My answer: D. Polished pale yellow surface

I read an article that summarized the results of the emission of radiation experiments. It stated the following:
1) </span>Black surfaces are the best emitters of heat radiation.
2) Black surfaces are the best absorbers of heat radiation.
3) Shiny surfaces are the best reflectors of heat radiation.
4) Shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat radiation.
<span>5) Glass will not transmit long wave infra red radiation.

Because of the above summary, that is why I arrived at the answer D. Polished pale yellow surface would likely be the best reflector of heat energy.</span>

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o
STatiana [176]

Answer:

3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A = Area = 1.5 cm²

m = Mass of woman = 51 kg

F = Force = mg

When we divide force by area we get pressure

P=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{mg}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{51\times 9.81}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow P=3335400\ N/m^2

1\ N/m^2=\frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2

3335400\ N/m^2=3335400\times \frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2=483.75889\ lb/in^2

The pressure exerted on the floor is 3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

What are the parts of a wedge and their function?​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

A wedge is a machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the wedge applies force to the object along both of its sloping sides. This force causes the object to split apart

Which of the following processes are Exothermic? I. Melting II. Sublimation III. Vaporization IV. Condensation
mariarad [96]

Answer: condensation process is exothermic. The correct option is IV.

Explanation: Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surrounding environment.

condensation is defined as a process by which a medium changes from gaseous phase into liquid phase. Using water molecules to illustrate, to transform water molecules to gaseous phase it requires the heat of vaporization to be overcomed. This same hear of vaporization needs to be given off when changing back to liquid phase.
