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.

A sphere of volume 1.20×10−3m3 hangs from a cable. When the sphere is completely submerged in water, the tension in the cable is
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the  liquid

         B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

         T + B -W = 0

         B = W- T               (1)

use the density to write the weight

         ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

         W = ρ g V

substitute in  1

         B = m g -T

         B = \rho_{body} g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel  \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

         B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

          B = 92.3 - 29.4

          B = 62.9 N

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.3 m. With what velocity did he leave the floor
xxMikexx [17]

The velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is 5.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the initial velocity of the jumper?</h3>

The initial velocity of the jumper or the velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below.

Kinetic energy of the jumper at the floor = Potential energy of the jumper at the maximum height

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the initial velocity of the jumper on the floor
  • h is the maximum height reached by the jumper
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.3)

v = 5.1 m/s
