Answer:
The stitches and dimples around a baseball and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.
Explanation:
The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.
A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.
A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.
Answer:
1. Decreases,
2. Increases,
3. Increases
Explanation:
The heat which is a product of sun's energy, is transferred from the sun to the earth through radiation, conduction or convention. This heat passes through the earth atmosphere, then warms it , before becoming heat energy.
Therefore, Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves . Because of this transfer, the entropy of the sun DECREASES, the entropy of the earth INCREASES and the entropy of the sun-earth system INCREASES.
Answer:
meter, kilogram
Explanation:
Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.
The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.
The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.
The other options are wrong because:
- The second is the unit of time
- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity
- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases
- The ampere is the unit of the current
Answer:
1. the pencil would have the momentum and would keep going until it hits the windshield. 2. when the car suddenly accelerates, the pencil would be inert and it would move toward the back of the car until a constant speed from the car is reached.
Answer:
C. Takes heat in, does work, and loses energy heat.
Explanation:
Heat engine is a system makes use of thermal energy (heat) to in order to do mechanical work.
This occurs by converting the heat into mechanical energy. This energy is then used to do work.
The key characteristic of a heat engine is that the substance with which work is done by, goes from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
Hence, it loses heat as it does work.
