Conduction is slower in liquids and gases.
Liquids it is convection which transmits more heat.. quicker...
Materials which are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors.
metals are good thermal conductors.
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,
Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.
v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s
Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2
Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds
Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m
