How does the vacuum between the inner and outer walls of a thermos bottle limit energy loss through conduction and convection?

By having no solid matter between the walls (like styrofoam) conduction is eliminated since conduction requires matter to be in contact with other matter. The vacuum state eliminates convection since that is the heating of gas that then carries the energy to another body by traveling there and exchanging heat with it.

A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.14 m/s, and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, b

Reptile [31]

speed of tortoise is given as v1 = 0.14 m/s

speed of hare is given as v2 = 20*0.14 = 2.8 m/s

now let say the total length of the path is "d"

so the total time taken by the tortoise to cover this

$t = \frac{d}{0.14}$

now given that hare took rest for 1 min

so total time of run for hare is (t - 60)s

so the distance that hare covered is given by

$d - 0.30 = 2.8 * (t - 60)$

now by above two equations

$d - 0.30 = 2.8 * \frac{d}{0.14} - 168$

$168 - 0.30 = (20 - 1)d$

$d = 8.82 m$

and the time t is given by

$t = \frac{8.82}{0.14}$

$t = 63 s$

so part a)

t = 63 s

part b)

d = 8.82 m

The distance between two charged objects is doubled. What happens to the electrostatic force between the two?a)It will double.b)

zzz [600]

Answer:

d) It will be cut to a fourth of the original force.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charged objects is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, the initial distance is doubled, so

r' = 2r

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=\frac{1}{4}F$

So, the force will be cut to 1/4 of the original value.

An atom of a certain element has 36 protons, 36 electrons, and a mass number of 84. At room temperature, this element is a very

Grace [21]

Answer:

12 neutrons

Explanation:

The number of protons also shows the atomic number. Therefore the element in question is Krypton (Kr), which also is a noble gas.

Neutrons = Mass number - protons - electrons

Here neutrons = 84 - 36 - 36 = 12
