A student is investigating the best method for heating marshmallows using an open flame.

Physics

Llana [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is Conduction.

Explanation:

In the first scenario given in the question where the student is holding the marshmallows on the side of the flame, she is subjecting the marshmallow the a heat transfer by radiation since the marshmallow is not in direct contact with the fire.

Heat transfer by radiation is done so with the heating of the air between the object and the heat source and does not need any contact between the source and the heated material.

And later when she places the marshmallow over the flames, the heat transfer type she is observing is heat transfer by conduction.

I hope this answer helps.

A ray of monochromatic light ( f = 5.09 × 10^14 Hz) passes from air into Lucite at an angle
harina [27]
     Let us consider the air with the index 1 and the lucite with index 2. Using the Snell's Secound Law, we have:

\frac{sen\O_{2}}{sen\O_{1}} = \frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}} \\ sen\O_{2}= \frac{n_{2}*sen\O_{1}}{n_{1}}
 
     Entering the unknowns, remembering that the air refrective index is 1 and the lucite refrective index is 1.5, comes:

sen\O_{2}= \frac{n_{2}*sen\O_{1}}{n_{1}} \\ sen\O_{2}= \frac{1.5* \frac{1}{2} }{1} \\ sen\O_{2}=0.75
  
     Using the arcsin properties, we get:

sen\O_{2}=0.75 \\ arcsin(0.75)=\O_{2} \\ \boxed {\O_{2}=48.59^o}

Course Task
kaheart [24]

Answer:

gravity effects only the mass of an object

Explanation:

an acorn is heavier that a stick and it's round shape gives it less wind resistance so gravity pulls it down faster. A stick vertical has little wind resistance but when rotated to when it is horizontal it has more resistance so it slows down but the the force of gravity is still as strong. A leaf has very little mass and it's shape provideds lots of wind resistance so it falls slower. The moon is not only effected by the earth's gravity it is also effected by the suns. It has its own gravity as well. with all these factors it stays in place and moves with the earth.

How did the theory of plate tectonics come to be a theory?
dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the idea that the earth's outer solid crust (the lithosphere) is fragmented into a few dozen "plates" that pass relative to each other across the earth's surface, like ice slabs on a lake. 

A scientist named Alfred Wegener in 1915 proposed that the continents rammed through ocean basin crust, which would clarify why the shapes of many coastlines (such as South America and Africa) seem to match together like a puzzle.
