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 round loop of wire carries a current of 100 A, has a radius of 10 cm, and its normal (vector) makes an angle of 30∘ with a mag

Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.823 Nm

Explanation:

current, i = 100 A

radius, r = 10 cm

Angle between the normal and the magnetic field, θ = 30°

Magnetic field, B = 0.524 T

Torque is defined as the

$\tau = i \times A\ B\times sin\theta$

$\tau = 100 \times 3.14\times 0.1\times 0.1\ 0.524\times 0.5$

Torque = 0.823 Nm

Thus, the torque is 0.823 Nm.

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Shah did not trust the results of an experiment that she had read about, so she is conducting the experiment herself. She goes through the same set of steps and measures the effect of the amount of sugar on a single organism.

Which best describes what Shah is doing?

replication

repetition

both repetition and replication

neither repetition nor replication

Answer:

replication

Explanation:

Replication in scientific experiments refer to the process of going through all the steps in an experiment in order to obtain the same set of results initially obtained.

All scientific experiments is expected to be replicated under identical experimental conditions. If the results obtained by a scientific investigation cannot be replicated under identical circumstances by other scientists, then the scientific data must be taken with a pinch of salt.

Shah is expected to obtain almost exactly the same data as the original researchers who first published the data.

chris and molly wins $2400 in a competition they share the money in the ratio2:3 how much money do they each receive ?

nlexa [21]

Answer:

chris gets 960 and molly gets 1440

Explanation:

add the ratio up and divide

2+3=5

2400/5=480

480x2=960

480x3=1440

960+1440= 2400
