Why do your feet feel colder stepping on ceramic tiles than on carpet?

Answer:

Option B

Tile is a good conductor : a carpet is a good insulator

Explanation:

When the feet comes in contact with the tile, the tile conducts heat from the body making one to feel cold. However, since carpet is made of insulators such as cotton, they don't conduct heat, therefore, it slows down the flow of the heat which would make it feel warm so our feet do not feel much more colder as it does with the tiles.

Answer:

B) Tile is a good conductor : a carpet is a good insulator

Explanation:

Heat travels from hot to cold. Your feet are warmer than the tile. The tile is a conductor and when you step on it, heat from your body transfers to the tile making it feel cool.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A(n)  <u>living wage</u> is the idea that people should be able to purchase the essentials of life by working a forty-hour workweek. Many local municipalities have as a result set higher minimum wages than the federally mandated minimum wage to accomplish this goal.

Explanation:

Living wage is the idea given to reduce poverty specially in cities with higher costs. It's based on the fact that one who works forty hours per week, he or she should be able to afford the basic needs of life that includes the water, food and shelter. Research has shown that the implementation of this concept has played the role in reducing poverty and enhancing the quality of life of workers. Countries like New-Zealand and united kingdom has supported this concept.

You throw a ball straight up. The ball has an initial speed of 11.2 m/s when it leaves your hand What is the maximum height the
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity u=11.2\ m/s

At maximum height velocity of ball is zero

using

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

(0)^2 -(11.2)^2=2\times (-9.8)\times (s)

s=\frac{11.2^2}{2\times 9.8}

s=6.4

time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height

v=u+at

0=11.2-9.8\times t

t=\frac{11.2}{9.8}

t=1.142\ s

At t=2\ s height of ball is

h=ut+\\frac{1}{2}at^2

h=11.2\times 2-\frac{1}{2}9.8\times (2)^2

h=22.4-19.6

h=2.8\ m

i.e. ball is moving downward

height at v=5\ m/s

v^2-u^2=2as

s=\frac{25-125.4}{2\times (-9.8)}

s=5.12\ m
