When you cook a marshmallow on a metal poker tool over an open flame, energy is transferred. Identify the three different ways t
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The three ways thermal energy is transferred are;

1) Conduction

2) Convection

3) Radiation

Explanation:

1) The conduction of the heat from the open flame to the marshmallow is through the direct contact of the flame with the marshmallow, such that the flame the region of the combustion reaction, that produces light and heat touches the marshmallow

2) The convection process is the transfer of heat from the rising heated combustion products, as well as the heated air that rises from the flame

3) The radiation heat transfer is the transfer of the heat from the fire to the marshmallows directly by the heat the moves in the form of electromagnetic waves at temperatures above 1000 K, without the need for a medium, such that the marshmallow can be heated by the heat coming from side of the flame.

A plane drops a rubber raft to the survivors of a shipwreck. The plane is flying at a height of 1960 m and with a speed of 109 m
Korolek [52]

In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.

Considering vertical motion first.

We have displacement  s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2, u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.

In vertical motion

    s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

    1960 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.81*t^2\\ \\ t = 20 seconds

So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.

Now considering horizontal motion of raft

u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0m/s^2

So s = 109*20+\frac{1}{2} *0*20^2 = 2180 m

So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.

Do you think the plan for the skyscraper in California is appropriate based on its location? Why or why not? Your answer should
Anettt [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No because like my other answer if we put to many diesels on it it will crack and little by little it will break eventually everyone will come tumbling into the water making them drown because they can't get the buckles loose or they wanted to save their families lives
