Answer:

Feathers are great thermal insulators.

Explanation:

Feathers are great thermal insulators. The loose structure of down feathers traps air.

As a result, energy cannot be transmitted easily through down feathers. This means birds are insulated from cold air outside, plus their body heat doesn't escape easily either.

Human beings discovered that down feathers are good for insulation long ago. For example, documents from the 1600s show that Russian merchants sold “bird down" to the Dutch hundreds of years ago.

Today, down is used in all sorts of products, including coats, bedding, and sleeping bags, to help better insulate the user from cold weather. Down can be collected from many different types of birds, but most of today's supply comes from domestic geese.

If you have a down coat or comforter, is it all down? In the United States, laws require that products labeled “100 percent down" contain only down feathers.

If your product is labeled “down," it can contain a mixture of both down feathers and synthetic fibers. Not all down feathers are created equal, though.

Down insulation is rated on a measure called “fill power." The higher the fill power, the more the down insulates.

The highest fill-power rating — 1200 — goes to eiderdown, which comes from the Common Eider duck. Eiderdown tends to be expensive.

"4.What determines how many figures are significant in reported measurement values? What

MAXImum [283]

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

<h3>What is significant figure?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

Significant figures are the digits in a value that are known with some degree of confidence.

The effect of reporting more or fewer figures or digits than are significant;

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

As precision of a measurement increases, so does the number of significant figures.

Continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite with cross-sectional area of 340 mm2 (0.53 in.2) is subjected to a longitudina

Alecsey [184]

(a) 23.4

The fiber-to-matrix load ratio is given by

$\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{E_f V_f}{E_m V_m}$

where

$E_f = 131 GPa$ is the fiber elasticity module

$E_m = 2.4 GPa$ is the matrix elasticity module

$V_f=0.3$ is the fraction of volume of the fiber

$V_m=0.7$ is the fraction of volume of the matrix

Substituting,

$\frac{F_f}{F_m}=\frac{(131 GPa)(0.3)}{(2.4 GPa)(0.7)}=23.4$ (1)

(b) 44,594 N

The longitudinal load is

F = 46500 N

And it is sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

$F=F_f + F_m$ (2)

We can rewrite (1) as

$F_m = \frac{F_f}{23.4}$

And inserting this into (2):

$F=F_f + \frac{F_f}{23.4}$

Solving the equation, we find the actual load carried by the fiber phase:

$F=F_f (1+\frac{1}{23.4})\\F_f = \frac{F}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=\frac{46500 N}{1+\frac{1}{23.4}}=44,594 N$

(c) 1,906 N

Since we know that the longitudinal load is the sum of the loads carried by the fiber phase and the matrix phase:

$F=F_f + F_m$ (2)

Using

F = 46500 N

$F_f = 44594 N$

We can immediately find the actual load carried by the matrix phase:

$F_m = F-F_f = 46,500 N - 44,594 N=1,906 N$

(d) 437 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the fiber phase is

$A_f = A V_f$

where

$A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2$ is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting $V_f=0.3$ , we have

$A_f = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.3)=102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

And the magnitude of the stress on the fiber phase is

$\sigma_f = \frac{F_f}{A_f}=\frac{44594 N}{102\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=4.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 437 MPa$

(e) 8.0 MPa

The cross-sectional area of the matrix phase is

$A_m = A V_m$

where

$A=340 mm^2=340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2$ is the total cross-sectional area

Substituting $V_m=0.7$ , we have

$A_m = (340\cdot 10^{-6} m^2)(0.7)=238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

And the magnitude of the stress on the matrix phase is

$\sigma_m = \frac{F_m}{A_m}=\frac{1906 N}{238\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=8.0\cdot 10^6 Pa = 8.0 MPa$

(f) $3.34\cdot 10^{-3}$

The longitudinal modulus of elasticity is

$E = E_f V_f + E_m V_m = (131 GPa)(0.3)+(2.4 GPa)(0.7)=41.0 Gpa$

While the total stress experienced by the composite is

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}=\frac{46500 N}{340\cdot 10^{-6}m^2}=1.37\cdot 10^8 Pa = 0.137 GPa$

So, the strain experienced by the composite is

$\epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}=\frac{0.137 GPa}{41.0 GPa}=3.34\cdot 10^{-3}$

What is a law in physics? state the criteria for a statement to be a law.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”

How many 1140 nm long molecules would you have to line up end to end to stretch a distance of 158 miles?

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

221754385964.9123

Explanation:

Convert miles to nanometer

1 mile = 1.6 km

1 km = 1×10³×10³×10³×10³ nm

1 mile = 1.6×10¹² nm

So,

158 miles = 158×1.6×10¹² = 252.8×10¹² nm

Length of each molecule = 1140 nm

Number of molecules = Total length / Length of each molecule

$\text{Number of molecules}=\frac{252.8\times 10^{12}}{1140}\\\Rightarrow \text{Number of molecules}=221754385964.9123$

There are 221754385964.9123 number of molecules in a stretch of 158 miles
