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.

A 1000 kg satellite and a 2000 kg satellite follow exactly the same orbit around the earth. What is the ratio F1/F2 of the gravi
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

the <em>ratio F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

the <em>ratio a1/a2 = 1</em>

Explanation:

The force that both satellites experience is:

F1 = G M_e m1 / r²       and

F2 = G M_e m2 / r²

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • r is the orbital radius
  • M_e is the mass of Earth

Therefore,

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] / [G M_e m2 / r²]

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] × [r² / G M_e m2]

F1/F2 = m1/m2

F1/F2 = 1000/2000

<em>F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

The other force that the two satellites experience is the centripetal force. Therefore,

F1c = m1 v² / r    and

F2c = m2 v² / r

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • v is the orbital velocity
  • r is the orbital velocity

Thus,

a1 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a1    and

a2 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a2

Therefore,

F1c = m1 a1 r / r = m1 a1

F2c = m2 a2 r / r = m2 a2

In order for the satellites to stay in orbit, the gravitational force must equal the centripetal force. Thus,

F1 = F1c

G M_e m1 / r² = m1 a1

a1 = G M_e / r²

also

a2 = G M_e / r²

Thus,

a1/a2 = [G M_e / r²] / [G M_e / r²]

<em>a1/a2 = 1</em>

maria [59]

Answer:

intensity of the light (the energy per unit area per unit time)

Explanation:

  • The photoflash capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor that is also used in flash cameras, professional illumination and solid-state laser supply. Their general purpose is to briefly power a high-voltage flash tube, which can be used to illuminate photographic material or to alternately pump a laser rod.
  • Since the flash tube requires very little time to operate, photoflash capacitors are designed to supply high discharge current pulses without excessive internal heating.

How do you ask someone out?
vazorg [7]

talk, make conversation. text isnt always the answer, but sadly now it is. text them or better yet, call them. you can talk and then do not just blurt it out. say it calmly. they say yes, congrats, but if they say no, do not have a mental breakdown. it might ruin a friendship.
