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.

Why can gases be compressed

Keith_Richards [23]

Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.

A truck is driving over a scale at a weight station. When the front wheels drive over the scale, the scale reads 5800 N. When th

aev [14]

Answer:

$x_2=1.60m$

Explanation:

From the Question We are told that

Initial Force $F_1=5800N$

Final Force $F_2=6500N$

Distance between the front and rear wheels \triangle x=3.20 m

Since

$\triangle x=3.20 m$

Therefore

$x_1+x_2=3.20$

$x_1=3.20-x_2$

Generally the equation for The center of mass is at x_2 is mathematically

given by

$x_2 =\frac{(F_1x_1+F_2x_2)}{(F_1+F_2)}$

$x_2=3.20F_1-\frac{x_2F_1+F_2x_2}{(F_1+F_2)}$

$2*F_1*x_2 =3.20F_1$

$x_2=1.60m$

A car travels from Boston to Hartford in 4 hours. The two cities are 240 kilometers apart. What was the average speed of the car

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hour

Explanation:

When we need to calculate average speed, we use this equation:

$V = \frac{x_{f} - x_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}}$

Where: $x_{o} = 0 km$ position at the beginning

$x_{f} = 240 km$ at the end

$t_{o} = 0 hours$

$t_{f} = 4 hours$

Then: $V = \frac{240 km - 0 km}{4 hours - 0 hours}$

$V = \frac{240 km}{4 hours}$

Finally V = 60 km/hour

Calculate the orbital speed (in m/s) of a satellite that circles the Earth with a time period of 12.00 hours. The mass of the Ea

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$v = 3869 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed of the satellite is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

also we know that

time period of the revolution is given as

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

now from above equation we know that

$T = \frac{2\pi (\frac{GM}{v^2})}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi GM}{v^3}$

so we will have

$v = (\frac{2\pi GM}{T})^{1/3}$

now plug in all data in this equation

$v = (\frac{2\pi (6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{12 \times 3600})^{1/3}$

$v = 3869 m/s$

an object weighs 98 n on earth. How much does it weigh on planet x where the acceleration due to gravity in 6 m/s^2

Degger [83]

60 N because 98N=mg (here g= 9.8 on earth) thus mass can be calculated which is 98/9.8 = 10kg Now,new weight with g = 6m/s^2 =m×g' (here g' is new acceleration of the new planet) = 10×6=60N
