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.

Two moles of helium are initially at a temperature of 21.0 ∘Cand occupy a volume of 3.30×10−2 m3 . The helium first expands at c
Anettt [7]

Answer:

(B) The total internal energy of the helium is 4888.6 Joules

(C) The total work done by the helium is 2959.25 Joules

(D) The final volume of the helium is 0.066 cubic meter

Explanation:

(B) ∆U = P(V2 - V1)

From ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

T1 = 21°C = 294K, V1 = 0.033m^3, n = 2moles, V2 = 2× 0.033=0.066m^3

P = nRT ÷ V = (2×8.314×294) ÷ 0.033 = 148140.4 Pascal

∆U = 148140.4(0.066 - 0.033) = 4888.6 Joules

(C) P2 = P1(V1÷V2)^1.4 =148140.4(0.033÷0.066)^1.4= 148140.4×0.379=56134.7 Pascal

Assuming a closed system

(C) Wc = (P1V1 - P2V2) ÷ 0.4 = (148140.4×0.033 - 56134.7×0.066) ÷ 0.4 = (4888.6 - 3704.9) ÷ 0.4 = 1183.7 ÷ 0.4 = 2959.25 Joules

(C) Final volume = 2×initial volume = 2×0.033= 0.066 cubic meter

Two obiect accumulated a charge of
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A. 181.24 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of hte electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by the equation

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

In this problem, we have:

q_1=4.5\mu C=4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C is the magnitude of the 1st charge

q_2=2.8\mu C=2.8\cdot 10^{-6}C is the magnitude of the 2nd charge

r = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m is the separation between the charges

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric force is:

F=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6})(2.8\cdot 10^{-6})}{(0.025)^2}=181.44 N

So, the closest answer is

A) 181.24 N

The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o
sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, P_f=20\ J

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

P_i=K_f+P_f

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.
