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.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

         F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = \frac{a}{F}

⇒ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{a}{F}

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.

Whiteout friction you could not, write, drive or fly and airplane. Why not?
aleksklad [387]

friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. Due to gravity pulling everything down things need to friction in order to move

i hope this helps :/

How does competition affect population size? Use the terms carrying capacity and limiting factor with your example.
svetoff [14.1K]

Limiting factors are resources or other factors in the environment that can lower the population growth rate. Competition for resources like food and space cause the growth rate to stop increasing, so the population levels off. This flat upper line on a growth curve is the carrying capacity.

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo
pickupchik [31]
The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height. 

<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>

<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>

<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>
