It keeps the heat inside of the building

Answer:

B) It keeps the heat inside of the building.

Explanation:

An insulator during winter is needed to stop the heat flow from going outside.

A Fiberglass insulation is made of plastic and tiny pieces of glass. Glass is a non conductive heat material that will stop the scape of heat from a building during winter. In winter if one place is warmer than other, for example the inside of a building and the outside respectively,  heat will tend to flow from the warmest place to the coolest place in order to valance the difference in temperature and reach a thermal equilibrium, to prevent this we use insulators.

alexira [117]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
  • Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

       = 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

   = 22.08

   <u>≈ 22°</u>

<span>In order to calculate an average, we should sum all numbers and divide them by quantity. Let’s work with qualifications first. Let’s say you got a 10 in 1 exam, then an 8 in 2 exams and a 4 in 2 exams. Your average will be: = (10*1+8*2+4*2) / 5 = 6.8 If 6 is the minimum, you will pass. There is another way to calculate this average: applying distributive property. = 10*1/5+8*2/5+4*2/5 = 6.8 Remember you can convert the fractions into equivalent fractions: 1/5 = 20/100; 2/5 = 40/100 = 10*20/100+8*20/100+4*20/100 = 6.8 We actually don’t have the number of atoms of each mass… we have the percentage instead! So we need to learn this last method for atoms. Let’s go back to our atoms problem: 73.71 % of atoms have a mass of 27.98 u 14.93 % of atoms have a mass of 28.98 u 11.36 % of atoms have a mass of 29.97 u So let’s put that in the formula: Average mass = 27.98 u*73.71 /100 + 28.98 u*14.93 /100 + 29.97u*11.36 /100 So what you have to know is that a percentage can be converted into a fraction, and you should work that fraction in order to find the average. We can make the calculus shorter putting 100 as the common denominator: Average mass = (27.98 u*73.71 + 28.98 u*14.93 + 29.97u*11.36)/100 So actually we are taking the percentage as if it was the quantity, and 100 as if it was the total (the total of all percentages is always 100). Maybe we don’t have 100 atoms, but it will be the same proportion anyway, whatever number we have! And here it is the result: Average mass = 28,36u </span>

Ethyl alcohol has a boiling point of 78.0°C, a freezing point of −114°C, a heat of vaporization of 879 kJ/kg, a heat of fusion o
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

874.2 KJ

Explanation:

Ethyl alcohol boiling point = 78oC, freezing point = -114oC heat of vaporization = 879 kJ/kg heat of fusion = 109kJ/Kg specific heat capacity (c) of ethyl alcohol = 2,43KJ/Kg.k

calculating each heat drawn singly

Quantity loss due vaporization = m × Lv where m is mass in kg and Lv is the heat of vaporization

Quantity of heat loss due to fusion = m × Lf ( heat of fusion)

Quantity of heat loss due to cooling from 78oc to -114 = m × c × ΔT 9 (change in Temperature)

Quantity of heat removed due to vaporization = 0.601 ×879 = 528.279 KJ

Quantity of heat lost due to cooling from 78oc to -114oc = mcΔT= 0.601 × 2.43 × ( 78 - (-114)) = 0.601 ×2.43 × 192 = 280.4 kJ

Quantity of heat lost due to fusion during freezing = 0.601 × 109 = 65.509 KJ

Total heat removed = sum of the each quantity of heat removed from the gaseous ethyl alcohol = 528.279 + 280.4 + 65.509 =  874.2 KJ

A baseball is thrown by the center fielder (from shoulder level) to home plate where it is caught (on the fly at eye level) by t
marishachu [46]

At the highest point of the trajectory the vertical component will have its zero velocity, and the descent caused by the force of gravity will begin.

Since the ball is thrown with a certain speed, the vertical component reaches its highest point (upwards), until returning to the receiver who will receive the ball with the same vertical component but in the opposite direction (downwards).

Therefore the vertical component will have its highest value at launch.
