Hot coals of wood? Wood is not coals. So they can't burn their feet, there are no hot coals, just wood.

The correct answer of this question is : Low thermal conductivity of hot coals.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer of this question, first we have to understand the nature of hot coals of wood in terms of conductivity.

The thermal conductivity of the wood is very small i.e it is thermally insulator.

Due to the less thermal conductivity of wood, the heat  partially flows to the foot. The person will feel the heat, but not as much as the heat given by thermal conductors.

Hence, a barefoot person person can walk on hot coals of wood.

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is conv
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2

\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1

Put the value into the formula

\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1

\gamma=208

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1

v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2

Put the value into the formula

v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2

v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}

v=0.9999 c\ m/s

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

The sound intensity at a distance 2.00 m from a sound source is 5.00 Find the total sound energy emitted by the source in each s
notka56 [123]

Answer:

     P = 251, 3 W

Explanation:

The intensity is defined as the power emitted per unit area

           I = P / A

Since sound is distributed in all directions spherical shape, the area of ​​a sphere is

           A = 4π r²

let's clear the power and replace

         P = I A

         P = I (4π r²)

let's calculate

         P = 5.00 (4π 2²)

         P = 251, 3 W

A gas is compressed at constant temperature from a volume of 5.68 L to a volume of 2.35 L by an external pressure of 732 torr. C
Vlada [557]

Answer: The work done in J is 324

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 732 torr = 0.96 atm    (760torr =1atm)

V_1 = initial volume = 5.68 L

V_2 = final volume = 2.35  L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=-0.96atm\times (2.35-5.68)L=3.20L.atm

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

1L.atm=101.33J

So, 3.20L.atm=3.20\times 101.3=324J

The positive sign indicates the work is done on the system

Hence, the work done for the given process is 324 J
