How long does it take for a 4 inch candle to burn out

What does "a 4-inch candle" mean ?
Is that the length of the candle or its diameter ?

The life of a candle depends on its length, its diameter, the
thickness and starting-length of its wick, the exact substance
of which it's composed ... the type of wax ... and the motions
of the air around it.

I'll always remember the candle shop I visited ... I don't remember
what I was doing in a candle shop, but I was there.  There was a
little wax turkey up on a glass shelf, with a tiny tiny flame in the
middle of its back, so tiny that you could easily miss noticing it. 
The little sign standing next to the little turkey on the shelf explained
that this was a Thanksgiving candle ... it was lit last Thanksgiving,
and would continue burning until NEXT Thanksgiving, roughly a year later !

Well, it depends on what kind of candles (big, small, regular, etc.) but some takes 7 hours

What is chemical stimuli
navik [9.2K]
Chemical stimuli are molecules that cause a response at a cellular level primarily through cellular receptors. This happens all the time in nature - cells communicate with one another through chemical messaging. An example is an aroma molecule, such as the scent from a flower. This particular molecule is detected by the olfactory cells (those associated with the sense of smell) in your nose, producing a chemical reaction that ultimately leads to you consciously experiencing the smell.

A dog barks to alert his owner. What is the medium for the sound waves produced by the dog barking?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The medium for the sound waves produced by the dog barking is the air

Explanation:

Sound waves are a form of mechanical waves such that it moves from one point to another by the vibration, back and forth of the medium particles from one layer to the next, thereby the particles of the medium remain in the same location and only the wave energy is propagated

The medium which has particles that vibrate back and forth in order to transmit the barking of the dog is the air.

An infinite slab of charge of thickness 2z0 lies in the xy-plane between z=−z0 and z=+z0. The volume charge density rho(C/m3) is
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

please read the answer below

Explanation:

To find the electric field you can consider the Gaussian law for a cylindrical surface inside the slab.

\int E dA=EA_{G}=\frac{Q_{int}}{\epsilon_o}

Q_{int}=\rho V_{G}

where Qint is the charge inside the Gaussian surface, AG is the area of the surface and rho is the charge density of the slab.

By using the formula for the volume of a cylinder you obtain:

V_{G}=\pi r^2h

where h is the height. If you assume that the slab is in the interval (-zo<z<z0) you can write VG:

V_{G}=\pi r^2 z

Finally, by replacing in the expression for E you get:

E=\frac{Q_{int}}{\epsilon_o A_G}=\frac{Q_{int}}{\epsilon_o \pi r^2}\frac{z}{z}=\frac{\rho z}{\epsilon_o}

E=\rho z/\epsilon_o

hence, for z>0 you obtain E=pz/eo > 0

for z<0 -> E=pz/eo < 0

Name three different avenues by which Thomas Edison received an education
klio [65]
Edison's education is most unique and relevant.

1. The first teacher he had was his mother
2. He found vital lessons and was influenced greatly by the book of R.G. Parker called School of Natural Philosophy
3. Another educating piece he had was a book entitled The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art

His style of learning was though reading books on a variety of subjects, a self-educating environment that fosters independent learning which can be useful through his life.

Answer: Acted on by equal forces in opposite direction

Explanation:

Newton's First Law says that every body continue in its state of rest or constant speed on a straight line unless being acted upon by an external force.
