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.​

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: a network of several radio telescopes wired together 

Explanation:

A radio interferometer combines signals of several radio telescopes which are used in astronomical observations simultaneously to simulate a discretely-sampled single telescope of very large aperture

Interferometer, an instrument that uses the interference patterns formed by waves to measure certain characteristics of the waves themselves or of materials that reflect, refract, or transmit the waves. Interferometers can also be used to make precise measurements of distance.

What must be the acceleration of a train in order for it to stop 12 m/s in a distance if 541 m
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of the train must be - 0.133 m/s²

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

A train in order for it to stop 12 m/s in a distance if 541 m

That means the initial velocity of the train is 12 m/s

Its final velocity is zero (stop)

The distance it covers is 541 m

We want to find its acceleration

The acceleration will be negative quantity because the train reduced its

velocity from 12 m/s to zero

We need rule contains velocity, acceleration and distance

So we will use ⇒<em> v² = u² + 2as</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the

initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the distance

v = 0, u = 12 m/s, s = 541 m

Substitute these values in the rule

(0)² = (12)² + 2(a)(541)

0 = 144 + 1082 a

Subtract 144 from both sides

-144 = 1082 a

Divide both sides by 1082

- 0.133 = a

<em>The acceleration of the train must be - 0.133 m/s²</em>

) Water flows through a horizontal coil heated from the outside by high-temperature flue gases. As it passes through the coil th
Mademuasel [1]

Explanation:

Formula for steady flow energy equation for the flow of fluid is as follows.

    m[h_{1} + \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2}] + z_{1}g] + q = m[h_{1} + \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2} + z_{1}g] + w

Now, we will substitute 0 for both z_{1} and z_{2}, 0 for w, 334.9 kJ/kg for h_{1}, 2726.5 kJ/kg for h_{2}, 5 m/s for V_{1} and 220 m/s for V_{2}.

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

     m[h_{1} + \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2}] + z_{1}g] + q = m[h_{1} + \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2} + z_{1}g] + w  

     1 \times [334.9 \times 10^{3} J/kg + \frac{(5 m/s)^{2}}{2} + 0] + q = 1 \times [2726.5 \times 10^{3} + \frac{(220 m/s)^{2}}{2} + 0] + 0

                q = 6597.711 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that heat transferred through the coil per unit mass of water is 6597.711 kJ.

While filming an intense action sequence for the next James Bond movie, a controlled explosion detonates 1.3 km away from the ac
brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we must basically resort to the kinematic equations of movement. For which speed is defined as the distance traveled in a given time. Mathematically this can be expressed as

v = \frac{d}{t}

Where

d = Distance

t = time

For which clearing the time we will have the expression

t = \frac{d}{v}

Since we have two 'fluids' in which the sound travels at different speeds we will have that for the rock the time elapsed to feel the explosion will be:

t = \frac{1300m}{3000m/s}

t = 0.433s

In the case of the atmosphere -composite of air- the average speed of sound is 343m / s, therefore it will take

t = \frac{1300m}{343m/s}

t = 3.79s

The total difference between the two times would be

\Delta t = 3.79s-0.433s

\Delta t = 3.357s

Therefore 3.357s will pass between when they feel the explosion and when they hear it
