How is thermal energy transferred between two objects that are at different temperatures?

Answer:

when you bring two objects of different temperatures together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.

A) correct answer is C, B) correct answer is b and C) The correct answer is b

Explanation:

In the exercises of geometric optics, the equation of the constructor tells us the location of the image.

1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length of the cornea-crystalline system, p and q are the distances to the object and the image.

In this case, the distance to the image on the retina is constant, about 3 cm. Therefore depending on the distance to the object) p = the focal length must change

1 / q = 1 / f 1 / p

let's apply this expression to our case

A) indicates that the tree is at a medium distance

so that the image is formed on the retina THE SAME AS

correct answer is C

B) The squirrel is at a smaller distance (p ') than the tree (p), therefore if we substitute in the equation above we find that q must decrease. Consequently the image is in front of the retina

The mountain is very far, suppose in infinity, so the image is BEHIND THE RETINA

therefore the correct answer is b

C) The squirrel is very close so the curvature of the lens INCREASES, resulting in a DECREASE in the focal length

The correct answer is b

Using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, what would be the total displacement of the object if it took 8 seconds before h

ASHA 777 [7]

If it starts from 0m/s...
s=?
u=0
a=-10
t=8
s=ut +1/2at^2
so s=(0×8)+ (0.5×-10×64)
s=0+(32×-10)
s=32×-10
s=-320metres

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: <em> a). Grip</em>

The grip is the important thing to be consider for golfer. It is the most fundamental important aspects to the game, because it provides the solid contact.

Applying the correct grip, results in better golf shots and an increased confidence to the golfer, to address the ball in the right direction.

Simply the grip is the pressure applied to the club with the hand such that the golfer feels comfortable to make a brilliant shot.

A 1090 kg car has four 12.7 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to ro

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018$

Explanation:

To develop this exercise we proceed to use the kinetic energy equations,

In the end we replace

$KE_{Total}=KE_{Translational}+KE_{Rotational}$

$KE_{Total}=\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+4*\frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^2$

Here

$I=\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2$ meaning the 4 wheels,

So replacing

$KE_{Rotational}=4\frac{1}{2}*(\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2)*(\frac{v}{r})^2=m*v^2$

So,

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}*v^2}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}*v^2+m_{wheels}*v^2}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+m_{wheels}}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{10}{545+10}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018$

Where is there potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing if the trebuchet?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.
