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.​

Determine the potential difference between the ends of the wire of resistance 5 Ω if 720 C passes through it per minute.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 5 ohms

Charge, q = 720 C

Time, t = 1 min = 60 s

We know that the charge flowing per unit charge is called current in the circuit. It is given by :

I = 12 A

Let V is the potential difference between the ends of a wire. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = IR

V = 60 Volts

So, the potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 90 kg person stands at the edge of a stationary children's merry-go-round at a distance of 5.0 m from its center. The person s
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}

\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega

The final angular speed is:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

A sprinter with a mass of 80 kg accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. What is the runner's acceleration?
sertanlavr [38]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 9/3 = <em>3 m/s²</em> .

His mass makes no difference.

A force of 25N acts on a mass of 5.0kg, initially at rest. Calculate the distance travelled before achieving a velocity of 20m/s
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

40m

Explanation:

let's calculate the acceleration first

force = mass × acceleration

rearranging to find acceleration:

acceleration = force ÷ mass

force = 25N, mass = 5.0kg

acceleration = 25 ÷ 5 = 5ms^-2

we can now use the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration and s = distance

rearranging v^2 = u^2 + 2as the distance is

s = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ 2a

v = 20, u = 0, a = 5

s = (20^2 - 0^2) ÷ (2 × 5) = 40m

the distance is 40m
