When walking barefoot, Kevin can walk across the grass easily, but when he crosses the paved street, the street is hot and burns

his feet. At the beach he walks quickly across the hot sand to the cool water. Why do some substances feel hot to his feet and others do not? Radiation is heat transfer through waves. Specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance 1 degree C.​

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

A(n) 55.5 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.6 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The spring force constant is  k=243\ \frac{N}{m} .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is m=0.0555\ kg, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is h=0.536\ m,  the length the ball compresses the spring is d=0.04897\ m and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}} .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy E_{mi} is equal to the final mechanical energy E_{mf} :

                                                    E_{mf}=E_{mi}

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

                                                   \frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh

If we manipulate the equation we have that:

                                                    k=\frac{2mgh}{d^{2} }

                                         k=\frac{2\ 0.0555\ kg\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\ 0.536\ m}{(0.04897)^{2}m^{2}}

                                              k=\frac{0.58306\ \frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}}{2.398x10^{-3}m^{2}}

                                                     k=243\ \frac{N}{m}

¿Cuál es la masa de un objeto cuya masa es de 400 J y energía cinética de 107J?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Mass, m = 125 kg

Explanation:

Let us assume that the question says, "What is the mass of an object whose velocity is 400 m/s and the kinetic energy of 10⁷ J.

The kinetic energy of an object is :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\m=\dfrac{2K}{v^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{2\times 10^7}{(400)^2}\\\\m=125\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 125 kg.

Thermal conductivity of a material is given as 129Btuft–¹ h–¹°F–¹.Calculate this thermal conductivity in Jm–¹s–¹°C–¹(Given: 1Btu
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$

Explanation:

The thermal conductivity of an object is defined as the measure or the ability of the object to transfer heat or conduct heat through its body.

In the context, the thermal conductivity of the material is given as

$=129 \text{ Btu ft}^{-1}\text{h}^{-1}^\circ\text{F}^{-1}$

And it is given that :

1 Btu = 1055 J

1 ft = 0.3048 m

$1^\circ F = \frac{5}{9}^\circ C$

We know that 1 h = 3600 s

So the thermal conductivity of the material in $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ is  :

Thermal conductivity :

$=\frac{129 \text{ Btu}}{1 \text{ ft }\times \text{1 h}\times 1^\circ\text{F}}$

$=\frac{129 \times 1055 \text{ J}}{0.3048 \text{ m} \ \times 3600 \text{ s}\ \times \frac{5}{9}^\circ \text{C}}$

=  223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$
