By conduction. Not convection this is air travel.

Because it's placed in the lasagna, the thermal energy is transferred by conduction. Remember, convection is transfer of heat through fluids (liquids and gases), and radiation is just transfer of heat through air.

A disoriented physics professor drives 3.22 km north, then 4.75 km west, then 1.90 km south. find the magnitude and direction of
Andre45 [30]

It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.

Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90  S

= 1.32 N + 4.75 W

D = \sqrt{N^2 + W^2}

D = 4.93 Km

direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west

You are removing branches from your roof after a big storm. You throw a branch horizontally from your roof, which is a height 3.
mart [117]

Answer:

The initial velocity in the x-direction with which the branch was thrown is approximately 10.224 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the branch are;

The height from which the branch is thrown = 3.00 m

The horizontal distance the branch lands from where it was thrown, x = 8.00 m

The direction in which the branch is thrown = Horizontally

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the branch, u_y = 0 m/s

The time it takes an object in free fall (zero initial downward vertical velocity) to reach the ground is given as follows;

s = u_y·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u_y = 0 m/s

s = The initial height of the object = 3.00 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴ s = 0·t + 1/2·g·t² = 0 × t + 1/2·g·t² = 1/2·g·t²

t = √(2·s/g) = √(2 × 3/9.8) = (√30)/7 ≈ 0.78246

The horizontal distance covered before the branch touches the ground, x = 8.00 m

Therefore, the initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, 'uₓ', is given as follows;

uₓ = x/t = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s)

Using a graphing calculator, we get;

uₓ = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s) = (28/15)·√30 m/s ≈ 10.224 m/s

The initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, uₓ ≈ 10.224 m/s.

We would like to place an object 45.0cm in front of a lens and have its image appear on a screen 90.0cm behind the lens. What mu
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

the radii of curvature is 30 cm.

Explanation:

given,

object is place at = 45 cm

image appears at = 90 cm

focal length = ?

refractive index = 1.5

radii of curvature = ?

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{u} +\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{45} +\dfrac{1}{90}

f = 30 cm

using lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = (n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1} -\dfrac{1}{R_2})

R_1 = R\ and\ R_2 = -R

\dfrac{1}{f} = (n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R} +\dfrac{1}{R})

R = (n -1)\ f

R = 2(1.5 -1)\ 30

R = 30 cm

hence, the radii of curvature is 30 cm.

An oxygen molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on of p
FromTheMoon [43]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

An oxygen molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on 1 of 36 possible sites for adsorption. Calculate the entropy of this system.

Explanation:

It is known that Boltzmann formula of entropy is as follows.

             s = k ln W

where,   k = Boltzmann constant

              W = number of energetically equivalent possible microstates or configuration of the system

In the given case, W = 36. Now, we will put the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  s = k ln W

                    = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} ln (36)        

                    = 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K

Thus, we can conclude that the entropy of this system is 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K.

What is the amount of thermal energy that can be stored in an object depends on?
77julia77 [94]
Thermal energy is the total energy of all the molecules in an object. The thermal energy of an object depends on three things: 4 the number of molecules in the object 4 the temperature of the object (average molecular motion) 4 the arrangement of the object's molecules (states of matter).

Hope this helps
