Physics
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

They are not conductors of heat.

Explanation:

Metals, like steel, are good conductors because of the particles they are made of. Materials like rubber are good insulators, because they don't pick up heat easily. Vacuums(not vacuum cleaners, matter-less voids) are good insulators.

You are at the top of the Empire State Building on the 102nd floor, which is located 373 m above the ground, when your favorite
Liula [17]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

H = actual height of the superhero = ?

H₀ = height of the superhero as observed = 1.73 m

v = speed of the superhero = 0.50 c

Using the equation

H = H_{o} \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

Inserting the values

H = 1.73 \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{0.50 c}{c} \right )^{2}}

H = 1.5 m

IM DESPERATE PLS HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER BACK
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The speed with which the man flies forward is 5.5 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the man = 100 kg

The mass of the scooter = 10 kg

The speed with which the man was traveling on the scooter = 5 m/s

The speed of the scooter after it hits the rock = 0 m/s

Let v represent the speed with which the man flies forward

The formula for momentum, P, is P = Mass × Velocity

The conservation of linear momentum principle is, the total initial momentum = The total final momentum, therefore, we have;

The total initial momentum = (100 kg + 10 kg) × 5 m/s = 550 kg·m/s

The total final momentum = 100 kg × v + 10 kg × 0 m/s = 100 kg × v

When the momentum is conserved, we have;

550 kg·m/s = 100 kg × v

∴ v = 550 kg·m/s/(100 kg) = 5.5 m/s.

The speed with which the man flies forward = v = 5.5 m/s

A 1.50 cm high diamond ring is placed 20.0 cm from a concave mirror with radius of curvature 30.00 cm. The magnification is ____
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Magnification, m = -0.42

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm

Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)

Using mirror's formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}, f = focal length of the mirror

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-15}+\dfrac{1}{-20}

v = -8.57 cm

The magnification of a mirror is given by,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-8.57)}{-20}

m = -0.42

So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.
