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.

Consider three drinking glasses. All three have thesame area base, and all three are filled to the same depth withwater. Glass A
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.  All three have equal non-zero pressure

Explanation:

Pressure is the relationship between the force and the area of ​​a body, when the bodies are liquid the formula that

         P = rho g h

Where rho is the density and h the height of the liquid

We see that for this expression the pressure does not depend on the shape of the container, but on its height, as the three vessels have the same height, the pressure at the bottom is the same.

The correct answer is C   All three have equal non-zero pressure

Angular velocity in the z direction of a flywheel is w(t)=A + Bt2 The numerical values of the constants are A=2.75 and B=1.50. W
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

α(0) = 0 rad/s²

α(5) = 15 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the flywheel is given as follows:

w(t) = A + B t²

where, A and B are constants.

Now, for the angular acceleration, we must take derivative of angular velocity with respect to time:

Angular Acceleration = α (t) = dw/dt

α(t) = (d/dt)(A + B t²)

α(t) = 2 B t

where,

B = 1.5

<u>AT t = 0 s</u>

α(0) = 2(1.5)(0)

<u>α(0) = 0 rad/s²</u>

<u></u>

<u>AT t = 5 s</u>

α(5) = 2(1.5)(5)

<u>α(5) = 15 rad/s²</u>
