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.​

Two wooden boxes of equal mass but different density are held beneath the surface of a large container of water. Box A has a sma
sweet [91]

Answer:

As a box A has a smaller average density than box B, then it will have a greater acceleraton towards the surface upon releasing. So the option E) Box A is a correct option.

An unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 9.50 m/s and comes to a full stop after
Amanda [17]

Answer:

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the player (u) = 9.50 m/s

Final velocity of the player (v) = 0 m/s (Comes to a stop)

Displacement of the player (S) = 0.250 m

We know that, using equation of motion relating displacement (S), acceleration (a), initial velocity (u) and final velocity (v), we have:

v^2=u^2+2aS

Expressing in terms of 'a', we get:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2S}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

a=\frac{0-9.50^2}{2\times 0.250}\\\\a=\frac{-90.25}{0.5}=-180.5\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the player is -180.5 m/s². So, the deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Now, using the first equation of motion, we have:

v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}

Plug in the given values and solve for 't'. This gives,

t=\frac{0-9.5}{-180.5}\\\\t=0.053\ s

Therefore, the the collision will last for 0.053 s.

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

A sound wave is determined to have a frequency of 1,000 Hz and a wavelength of 35 cm. What is the speed of this wave? If the sou
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

350 m/s

31°C

Explanation:

Speed of sound is given as the product of frequency and wavelength

S=fw

Where s represent the speed in m/s, f is frequency and w is wavelength

Conversion

Taking 1m to be 100 cm then 35 cm will be 35/100=0.35m

Substituting 0.35 m for w and 1000 Hz for f then

S=1000*0.35=350 m/s

speed of sound (m/s) = 331.5 + 0.60 T(°C)

350=331.5+0.6T

T=30.833333333333

The temperature is approximately 31°C
