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.

The maximum distance at which a highway sign can be read is determined for a sample of young people and a sample of older people

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The population mean are the same

Explanation:

Answer:

The population means are the same.

Explanation:

The hypotheses for a difference in two population means are similar to those for a difference difference two population proportions.

At null point, Ha=0

Let the mean population of the young one be u1

Let the mean population of the old one be u2.

Then, the difference between their mean population distance is given as

Ha=u2-u1

Since, Ha is null point, Ha=0

0=u2-u1

u2=u1

This shows that the mean population distance of the old is equal to the mean population distance of the young.

Therefore their mean population distance is the same

Since it is null alternative then, the population mean are the same.

We must sample the population using

1. Samples must be random to remove or minimize bias.

2. Sample must be representative of the populations in question.

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.25-kg mass is hung from the spring. After all vibrations have died away, the spring

ch4aika [34]

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

$\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}$

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of object = m = 1.25 kg

initial extension = x = 0.0275 m

final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m

<u>Asked:</u>

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>

$F = k x$

$mg = k x$

$k = mg \div x$

$k = 1.25(9.8) \div 0.0275$

$k = 445 \frac{5}{11} \texttt{ N/m}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>

$Ep_1 + Ek_1 = Ep_2 + Ek_2$

$\frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}k x^2 + Ek$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh - \frac{1}{2}k x^2$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}k ( (x')^2 - x^2 ) + mgh$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}(445 \frac{5}{11}) ( 0.0460^2 - 0.0275^2 ) + 1.25(9.8)(0.0735)$

$\boxed {Ek \approx 1.20 \texttt{ J}}$

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity $v_1$ in time $t_1$

$\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1$

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with $v_2$ and $v_3$ velocity for half-half time

$\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}$

$\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}$

Now average velocity is given by

$v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}$

taking $t_1$ common

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}$
