Objects in the same container eventually reach the same temperature. When you go into a room and touch a piece of metal in that

room, it feels colder than a piece of plastic. Explain.

Answer:

Metals are the good conductors of heat while plastic is a non metal and is not good in conductivity.

Explanation:

From the molecular point of view we usually define conductivity in terms of free electrons which are in abundance in metal and electrons do transfer heat. So when you touch a piece of metal these free electron of metal take that heat from your hand and transfer to the cooler part. "Flow of heat from hotter to colder part". That is the reason it feels colder upon touching the piece of metal. However Plastics do not have this characteristic of conduction of heat.

A stone is launched straight up by a slingshot. Its initial speed is 19.6 m/s, and the stone is 1.50 m above the ground when lau
arlik [135]

Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs

A test charge of -1.4 x 10-7 coulombs experiences a force of 5.4 x 10-1 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field c
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

Explaination:

Applying,

E = F/q....................... Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F  = Force, q = charge.

From the question,

Given: F = 5.4×10⁻¹ N, q = -1.4×10⁻⁷ coulombs

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 5.4×10⁻¹/ -1.4×10⁻⁷

E = -3.86×10⁶ Newtons/coulombs

Hence the magnitude of the electric field created by the

negative test charge is 3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs
