explain why houses built of stone take a long time to warm up but once they are warm they stay warm for a long time

Physics
1 answer:
pentagon [3]4 years ago
3 0

they take a long time to heat up because stone has a high heat capacity, meaning it takes more heat to warm it up than other materials. so if you warm it up it will also take a long time to get cold because it is efficient at trapping and insulating heat.

A 1000 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.0 m/s2 for 10 m, starting from rest. a. How much work does gravity do on the elevator
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a)= 98kJ

b)=108kJ

c) = 10kJ

Explanation:

a. The work that is done by gravity on the elevator is:

Work = force * distance  

= mass * gravity * distance

= 1000 * 9.81 * 10  

= 98,000 J

= 98kJ

b)The net force equation in the cable

T - mg = ma

T = m(g+a)

T = 1000(9.8 + 10)

T = 10800N

The work done by the cable is

W = T × d

= 10800N × 10

= 108000

=108kJ

c) PE at 10m = 1000 * 9.81 * 10 = 98,100 J  

Work done by cable = PE +KE  

108,100 J = KE + 98,100 J  

KE = 10,000 J

= 10kJ

=

Which of these is an example of a mechanical wave?
OLga [1]
Your answer is A, Ocean Waves- because A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. Ocean waves do just that :)

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright frin
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

y = 0.0233 m

Explanation:

In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = distance between fringes

λ = wavelength of light

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = Slit Separation

Now, for initial case:

λ = 425 nm = 4.25  x 10⁻⁷ m

y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d

L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴

using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:

Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)

Δx = 0.0116 m

and,

y = 2Δx

y = (2)(0.0116 m)

<u>y = 0.0233 m</u>

What's the gravity?
poizon [28]

Answer:

gravity is the force by which a planet or another body draws objects towards its Centre. the force of gravity keeps all of the planets in an orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

what is gravity made of?

gravity are made of proposed gravity parts that are made quantum particles which called gravitational anywhere there is gravitation there is gravity like on Earth in the Solar System most importantly in the minisclue infant and intervention universe .
