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.

A system of pulleys is used to raise a load of bricks that weighs 1,700 newtons. The force applied to the pulley is 340 newtons.
Law Incorporation [45]
By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:
 MA =  \frac{W}{T} 

 Where,
 W: is the load
 T: is the tension
 Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
 MA = \frac{1700}{340}
 MA = 5

 Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
 Answer:
 The mechanical advantage of this machine is:
 MA = 5

Explain why incremental development is the most effective approach for developing business software systems. Why is this model l
Ksenya-84 [330]

Explanation:

Typically, business software technologies are complex, and software strenuous. Business software applications are also often upgraded for changes in business goals or procedures. Real-time systems usually require a lot of hardware components that are quite difficult to change and cannot be upgraded Usually, actual-time safety critical systems that required to be built based on well-planned processes.

According to the law of conservation of energy, mechanical energy can be changed to heat energy.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

                     " law of conservation of energy"

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.

Ut=Ui +W+Q

  • Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
  • Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
  • W is the work done by or on the system.
  • Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.

It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.

ΔU=W+Q

The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.

The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.

KE1 + PE1=KE2+PE2
