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.

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

$F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2$

so here we have

$F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})$

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

You have a displacement of 5 units to the right.

Explanation:

First you go three to the right which lands on the 3 mark. Then you move it 4 to the left which substracts 4, landing the object at -1. Finally you move 6 to the right, and you finish at marker 5. Since displacement is not total distance but just final distance from the start point directly to end point, it is only a displacement of 5.
