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.

For the airfoil and conditions in Problem 2.2, calculate the lift-to-drag ratio. Comment on its magnitude.

Answer:

L/D= 112

Explanation:

Aerodynamics can be defined as the branch of dynamics which deals with the motion of air, their properties and the interaction between the air and solid bodies.

Aerodynamics law explains how an airplane is able to fly. There are four forces of flight, and they are; lift, weight, thrust and drag. The amount of lift generated by a wing divided by the aerodynamic drag is known as the lift to drag ratio.

Lift increases proportionally to the square of the speed.

The solutions to the question is the file attached to this explanation.

Lift,L= qC(l). S---------------------------(1).

and,

Drag,D = qC(d).S ----------------------(2).

Hence, Lift to drag ratio,L/D= C(l)/C(d).

Therefore, we have to compute various angle of attack.(check attached file)...

Then, (L/D) will then be equal to 112.

The cylinder in the picture is rotating at 500 RPMs. The friction coefficients between the cylinder and block B are static=0.5 a

Tju [1.3M]

Coefficient of static friction = 0.5
Coefficient of Kinetic friction = 0.3
Angular velocity = 500 RPMs

<h3>The Radius of the System</h3>

Let R be the radius of cylinder

$m_a + m_b = 4 + 3 = 7kg$

The angular velocity is 500 RPMs

$\omega ^2 = \frac{500 * 2\pi}{60} rad/s\\N = (M_a + M_b)\omega ^2 R$

The normal force

$f = \mu N = (M_a + M_b) g\\\mu (M_a + M_b) \omega ^2 R = M_a + M_b\\R = \frac{1}{\mu \omega ^2 R}\\\mu_s = 0.5\\R = \frac{1}{0.5 * (\frac{500 * 2\pi}{60})^2 }\\R = 0.0073m\\R = 7.3mm$

Since the radius is very little for two block to execute circular motion so system will slide down.

A. Besides protons, what other particles make up an atom? Write 2 - 3 sentences describing how the electrostatic force acts betw

vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

For a. Neutrons and electrons also form an atom.

For b. The element is oxygen which is a non-metal and will form a negative ion while forming ionic bond.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>For a:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles which form an atom. These are neutrons, protons and electrons.

Neutrons carry no charge, protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge. Neutrons and protons are present in nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus.

The energy which is present between neutrons and protons are nuclear energy and the energy which is present between electrons and protons are electrostatic energy.

<u>For b:</u>

In an element, number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons or electrons. The element which has atomic number 8 is Oxygen.

The electronic configuration of this element is $1s^22s^22p^4$

This element requires only 2 electrons to form a stable electronic configuration. An element which gains electron is considered as a non-metal and forms a negative ion because number of electrons increases.
