Air trapped in the fur of the caribou’s coat functions as _____.

Physics
2 answers:
Zolol [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

insulation

Explanation:

Conductivity represents the degree of ease through which heat is transmitted through a material.

Any substance that has a high conductivity i.e., can pass heat easily is called a conductor of heat.

Any substance that has a low conductivity i.e., cannot pass heat easily is called a insulator of heat.

Air does not conduct heat well. So, it acts an insulator and traps heat.

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen
marta [7]

Answer:

24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

N_A = Avogadro's constant = 6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{N}{N_A}

\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

The number of atoms is 24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms

A small metal cube measures 2.5 cm on one side. The mass of the cube is 1129.56 g. What is the density of the cube?
attashe74 [19]

-- volume = (length)(width)(height)

-- Since the cube is a cube, its three dimensions are all the same number.

Volume = (2.5cm)(2.5cm)(2.5cm)

Volume = 15.625 cubic cm

-- density = (mass) / (volume)

Density = (1129.56g) / (15.625cm^3)

Density = 72.3 g/cm^3

(roughly 3.2 TIMES the density of the most dense naturally occurring substance on Earth)

The kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
eimsori [14]
E=(mV^2)/2
m=1000kg, V=20m/s
then, E=(1000kg*(20m/s)^2)/2
E=(1000*400)/2 J = 200000J

Recall that the differential equation for the instantaneous charge q(t) on the capacitor in an lrc-series circuit is l d 2q dt 2
Aloiza [94]
DE which is the differential equation represents the LRC series circuit where
L d²q/dt² + Rdq/dt +I/Cq = E(t) = 150V.
Initial condition is q(t) = 0 and i(0) =0.
To find the charge q(t)  by using Laplace transformation by
Substituting known values for DE
L×d²q/dt² +20 ×dq/dt + 1/0.005× q = 150
d²q/dt² +20dq/dt + 200q =150
