Fill a Styrofoam cup with very hot water ( or Coffee). Take objects made of different materials, such as a metal spoon, a wooden

pencil, a plastic pen or a glass rod. Put one end of each object into the water and answer following questions.
Required:
a. How close to the surface of the water do you have to hold the object for it to feel noticeably warm to the touch?
b. From observations, which material would you judge to be the best conductor of heat? Which is the worst?
c. Rank the materials according to their ability to conduct heat from best to worst.

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) A good conducting material conducts heat easily from one point to another . So the metal spoon which is good conductor will become hot easily by conducting heat from hot water to tip of the spoon . So even after touching the far end of spoon , we can feel the heat of the hot water in the cup . For other material like wood or plastic we have to hold the part which is  very close to water to feel heat of water .

b ) The best conductor will be that which touches hot even when we touch its farthest  end . Hence metal spoon will be best conductor . Plastic pen will be worst conductor because even touching its part close to hot water , we do not feel much heat .

c ) metal spoon > glass rod  > wooden pencil > plastic pen .

When the core of a star like the sun uses up its supply of hydrogen for fusion, the core begins to ________?
pav-90 [236]

When the core of a star like the sun uses up its supply of hydrogen for fusion, the core begins to contract in size. The gravitational forces becomes strong and cause the star to reduce in size. as the star contracts, the temperature of the star also rises since the heat is distributed inside smaller Volume now.

If f(x) = -3x +4 and g(x) = 2, solve for the value of x for<br>which (fx) = g(x) is true.​
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x=-\frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

Let:

f(x)=-3x+4\\\\And\\\\g(x)=2

We need to know for which value of x the function f(x) is equal to g(x):

f(x)=g(x)

Therefore, we need to solve for the previous equation for x:

Replacing the values of f(x) and g(x):

-3x+4=2

Subtract 4 from both sides:

-3x+4-4=2-4\\\\-3x=-2

Multiply both sides by -1

-3x(-1)=-2(-1)\\\\3x=2

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3} \\\\x=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore the value of x for which f(x)=g(x) is x=\frac{2}{3}.

Verify the result:

-3(\frac{2}{3} )+4=2\\\\-2+4=2\\\\2=2
