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 4 kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on the roof of a building that is 30 meters tall. What is its kinetic energy?
klasskru [66]

ans: B

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

= \frac{1}{2} (4)(5^{2} )

= 50J

ps. the height will only affect its potential energy, not kinetic.

Diamond has an index of refraction of 2.419. What is the critical angle for internal reflection inside a diamond that is in air?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

C) 24.4°

Explanation:

let nd = 2.419 be the index of refraction of diamond and na  = 1.0 be the index of refraction of air  and ∅c be the critical angle.

according to Snell's Law:

sin(∅c) = na/nd

sin(∅c) = (1.0)/(2.419)

      ∅c = 24.4°

What is the magnitude of electrical force of attraction between an copper nucleus (29 protons) and its innermost electron if the
Agata [3.3K]
The charge of the copper nucleus is 29 times the charge of one proton:
Q=29 q= 29 \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C=4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C
the charge of the electron is
e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C
and their separation is
r=1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by:
F=k_e  \frac{Qe}{r^2}
where k_e is the Coulomb's constant. If we substitute the numbers, we find (we can ignore the negative sign of the electron charge, since we are interested only in the magnitude of the force)
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)}{(1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m)^2}=6.68 \cdot 10^{-3} N

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?
ale4655 [162]

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

With what speed must you approach a source of sound to observe a 25% change in frequency?
insens350 [35]
Sound source is at rest, you are moving with velocity v, f = frequency, c = speed of sound:

f = f0(1 + v/c)

115 = 100(1 + v/343)
115 = 100 + 100v/343
15 = 100v/343
v = 15*343/100
<span> v = 51,45 m/s </span>
