Several days after snowfall , the roofs of some homes on your street have almost no snow on them, while the roofs on other homes

are still covered. Assuming they have all received the same amount of sunlight, give one reason for this observation related to thermal energy & insulation.
Physics

5 0

Explanation:

This due to thermal insulation of some of the roof.

An insulator is body is a poor conductor of heat and will require high thermal energy to cause temperature changes.

  • A house with a roof that is thermally insulated will have poor heat conduction.
  • Since little heat is conducted, there wont be enough thermal energy to melt the snow.
  • Thermal energy is directly related to heat.
  • A house that is not insulated will absorb a lot of heat.
  • This will cause the snow to melt very fast.

What is a hydraulic system​
Simora [160]

Explanation:

Hydraulic systems use the pump to push hydraulic fluid through the system to create fluid power. The fluid passes through the valves and flows to the cylinder where the hydraulic energy converts back into mechanical energy. The valves help to direct the flow of the liquid and relieve pressure when needed

A box is being pulled to the right. What is the direction of the gravitational force?
lapo4ka [179]

The correct answer to the question is vertically downward i.e towards the centre of earth.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the box is pulled to the right.

Hence, the direction of the applied force is towards right.

We are asked to determine the direction of the gravitational force that acts on the body.

Before answering this question, first we gave to understand the gravitational force of earth.

Any body present on the surface of earth is attracted with the force of gravity of earth ( gravitational force ) towards its centre.  It is equivalent to the weight of the body.  

The force of gravity is always directed towards the centre of earth irrespective of the nature of applied force.

Hence, the direction of the gravitational force which acts on the box is vertically downward.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement vector along x axes = 4.5 - 2.5 = 2 m

Displacement vector along y axes = 3 - 2 = 1 m

Displacement vector along z axis = 3.5- 4 = - 0.5 m

Displacement vector = 2 i + j - 0.5 k m

An object is placed at a far distance in front of a thin converging lens. Then the object (1 point) moves gradually toward the l
xeze [42]

Answer:

real, and then virtual

Explanation:

A converging lens is known as convex lens. This lens is called converging lens because it converges all light rays incident on the lens and parallel to the principal axis at the focus.

The nature of image formed by objects placed in front of this lens as mostly REAL IMAGES. The image formed becomes virtual only when the object is almost in close contact with the lens.

Based on the explanation, it can be deduced that an object placed far from a convex lens forms real images but as we move closer to the lens (almost touching the lens), the image formed overtime tends to be virtual.
