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.

All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a. P = nRTV

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except a. P = nRTV b. PV/T = nR c. P/n = RT/v d. R = PV/nT"

Ideal gas equation is an equation that describes the nature of an ideal gas. The molecule of an ideal gas moves at a particular velocity depending on the temperature. This gases collides with one another elastically. The collision that an ideal gas experience is a perfectly elastic collision.

The ideal gas equation is expressed as shown:

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature.

Based on the formula given for an ideal gas, it can be inferred that the equation. P = nRTV is not a statement of an ideal gas equation.

The remaining option will results to an ideal gas equation if they are cross multipled.

3. An athlete makes a long jump and follows a projectile motion. Air resistance is negligible. Which one of the following statem
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The motion under the influence of gravity is called projectile motion.

The acceleration due to gravity is constant through out the motion and it is always acting downwards.

When an athlete jumps and follow the projectile path, it always have the same horizontal velocity as there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

Also he has the vertical acceleration constant which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and acts towards the center of earth.  

Option (b) is correct.

A person is lying on a diving board 3.50 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1.995 m

Explanation:

Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m

Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m

Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

real depth / apparent depth = n

real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m

Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.
