How does conduction work?

1 answer:

8 0

Conduction works by transferring heat from one molecule to another through a substance. This occurs due to the readiness of the substance to allow molecules to move. A heated molecule moves and shakes rapidly, and some of its heat energy is passed to molecules around it.

snow_tiger [21]

I believe that solar energy would be the best energy for my town. Solar energy is advantageous because the sun is up every day, and because it takes up much less space than than some other sources of renewable energy. Some disadvantages of solar energy are that if there is cloud cover, hardly any energy will be gained at all. Another disadvantage is that it is a long term investment that can take a while for it to pay for itself.

In a circus act, when the tumbling lever is measured, the measurements show that the effort arm is 8 meters long and the resista

Yuki888 [10]

The statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

<h3>Mechanical Advantage</h3>

Mechanical advantage MA = d/D where

d = distance moved by effort and
D = distance moved by load

Given that the effort arm is 8 meters long, d = distance moved by effort = 8 m.

Also, given that the resistance arm is 2 meters long, D = distance moved by load = 2 m.

<h3>Calculating the mechanical advantage</h3>

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

MA = d/D

MA = 8 m/2 m

MA = 4

Since MA = 4, so, the stament is False.

So, the statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the mer

son4ous [18]

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, $\omega = \frac{1}{8}$ rev/sec

$=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$ rad/sec

= 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

$F=m.\omega^2.r$

$$$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5$

= 427126.9 N

Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :

W = F x r

= 427126.9 x 7.5

= 3,203,451.75 J

The drag force on a falling coffee filter can be modeled as a linear function with respect to velocity, F⃗ D =−bv, where b is a

nordsb [41]

Newton's second law and graphical analysis allow us to find the correct answer for the measure of the constant b is:

D) Stack several filters to change the mass measure the acceleration of the system.

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force, the mass and the acceleration of the bodies.

∑ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration of the body.

They indicate that the drag force on the filters is

F = - b v

Where b is a positive constant that depends on the shape and area of the filter and v is the speed of the filter.

Let's write Newton's second law.

W - fr = ma

W -bv = ma

In the experiment the students indicate that they can measure the position, velocity and acceleration of the body.

Based on the above, if we place several filter weights and measure their speed and acceleration in each case, we can make a graph of velocity versus acceleration, we can take the value of the constant b from the slope.

Let's analyze the different answers:

A) False. The constant b depends on the shape of the filter therefore it must be kept constant.

B) False. The constant depends on the area, so it must be kept constant.

C) May be. In this case, since we have the terminal velocity, the acceleration is zero, Newton's second law remains.

B v - W = 0

b = $\frac{W}{v}$

The problem with the method is the difficulty of measuring the compression terminal velocity.

D) True. According to the discussion of the velocity versus acceleration. graph, the constant b is equal to the slope of the graph.

E) May be. The problem with this method is finding a reliable value for the terminal velocity.

In conclusion, using Newton's second law and graphical analysis we can find the correct answer for the measure of the constant b is:

D) Stack several filters to change the mass measure the acceleration of the system.
