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.

Two car collide in an intersection. The speed limit in that zone is 30 mph. The car (mass of 1250 kg) was going 17.4 m/s (38.9).
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

u₂ = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we use the law of conservation of momentum, as follows:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\

where,

m₁ = mass of the car = 1250 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2020 kg

u₁ = initial speed of the car before collision = 17.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of the tuck before collision = ?

v₁ = final speed of the car after collision = 6.7 m/s

v₂ = final speed of the truck after collision = 10.3 m/s

Therefore,

(1250\ kg)(17.4\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(u_2)=(1250\ kg)(6.7\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(10.3\ m/s)\\\\(2020\ kg)(u_2) = 8375\ N.s + 20806\ N.s - 21750\ N.s\\\\u_2=\frac{7431\ N.s}{2020\ kg}

<u>u₂ = 3.7 m/s</u>

A 400-n block is dragged along a horizontal surface by an applied force as shown. the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.
gulaghasi [49]
The block moves with constant velocity: for Newton's second law, this means that the resultant of the forces acting on the block is zero, because the acceleration is zero.

We are only concerned about the horizontal direction, and there are only two forces acting along this direction: the force F pushing the block and the frictional force F_f acting against the motion. Since their resultant must be zero, we have:
F-F_f = 0
The frictional force is
F_f = \mu mg
where
\mu=0.4 is the coefficient of kinetic friction
mg=400 N is the weight of the block. 

Substituting these values, we find the magnitude of the force F:
F=F_f = \mu mg=(0.4 )(400 N)=160 N

An eagle flying at 15 m/s has 600 J of kinetic energy. About how much is the eagles mass?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

5.33kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of eagle  = 15m/s

Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J

Unknown:

Mass of the eagle  = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical  energy.

The formula of kinetic energy is given as;

              Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

where m is the mass, V is the velocity

   substitute the parameters in the equation;

                       600  = \frac{1}{2} x m x 15²

                     225m  = 1200

                            m  = \frac{1200}{225}    = 5.33kg
