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

Physics

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.

Se lanza una pelota de béisbol desde la azotea de un edificio de 25 m de altura con velocidad inicial de magnitud 10 m/s y dirig
MissTica

Answer:

 v_f = 24.3 m / s

Explanation:

A) In this exercise there is no friction so energy is conserved.

Starting point. On the roof of the building

         Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₀

Final point. On the floor

         Em_f = K = ½ m v_f²

         Emo = Em_g

         ½ m v₀² + m g y₀ = ½ m v_f²

        v_f² = v₀² + 2 g y₀

         

let's calculate

        v_f = √(10² + 2 9.8 25)

        v_f = 24.3 m / s

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

Power, P = \frac{1}{f}

where

f = focal length

Thus

f = \frac{1}{P}

f = \frac{1}{2} = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm
