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

1 answer:

3 0

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.

The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of 3 m is read to be 39 kPa. Determine the gage pressure in the same liquid at a depth

ioda

Answer: 117 kPa

Explanation:

For the liquid at depth 3 m, the gauge pressure is equal to = P₁=39 kPa

For the liquid at depth 9m, the gauge pressure is equal to= P₂

Now we are given the condition that the liquid is same. That must imply that the density must be same throughout the depth.

So, For finding gauge pressure we have formula P= ρ * g * h

Also gravity also remains same for both liquids

So taking ratio of their respective pressures we have

$\frac{P_{1} }{\\P_2}$ = $\frac{density * g * h_1}{density * g * h_2}$

So $\frac{39}{P_2}$ = $\frac{3}{9}$

Or P₂= 39 * 3 = 117 kPa

Answer:

I think it is 80m/s

Explanation:

d = ½ g t2

= ½ (10 m/s2) (4 s)2

= (5 m/s2) (16 s2)

= 80 ms

75% sure

Hope this helps!!!

The sun rotates once in 25.05 days. That is 601.2 hours. so the sun's rotational speed is 0.0017 rotations per hour. what is the

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

time taken by the sun to complete one revolution, $t=601.2\ hr$

radial distance of the sunspot, $r=6.955\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Therefore, angular speed of rotation of sun:</u>

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600} \ rad.s^{-1}$

<u>Now the tangential velocity of the sunspot can be given by:</u>

$v=r.\omega$

$v=6.955\times 10^8\times \frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600}$

$v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}$

Answer:Habituation is a simple learned behavior in which an animal gradually stops responding to a repeated stimulus.

Imprinting is a specialized form of learning that occurs during a brief period in young animals—e.g., ducks imprinting on their mother.

In classical conditioning, a new stimulus is associated with a pre-existing response through repeated pairing of new and previously known stimuli.

In operant conditioning, an animal learns to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior.

Some animals, especially primates, are capable of more complex forms of learning, such as problem-solving and the construction of mental maps.

Introduction

If you own a dog—or have a friend who owns a dog—you probably know that dogs can be trained to do things like sit, beg, roll over, and play dead. These are examples of learned behaviors, and dogs can be capable of significant learning. By some estimates, a very clever dog has cognitive abilities on par with a two-and-a-half-year-old human!
