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.

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.

Describe how transverse waves can be produced by a rope. Then describe hiw pieces of the rope move as waves pass.
Oduvanchick [21]
We did this experiment before, when the rope moves, it represents the waves passing through in from the level of intensity. I hope this is a good answer.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.

What is occurring when two waves traveling along the same medium meet and cancel each other out?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Destructive interference

Explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when waves come together in such a way that they completely cancel each other out. When two waves interfere destructively, they must have the same amplitude in opposite directions.
