If a beaker of water is placed under a broiler so that the heating coil is above the beaker. It is observed that only the surfac

e layer boils. The water at the bottom of the beaker remains close to the initial temperature of the water. Which of the following statements is the most reasonable conclusion to be drawn from these observations?
a) Water is a poor conductor of heat.
b) The sample must contain impurities.
c) Water is easily heated by radiation.
d) Water exhibits anomalous thermal behavior.
e) The molecular motion in the sample is not random.

Answer:

a

Explanation:

The most reasonable conclusion of the above phenomenon is that water is a poor conductor of heat. Basically water is an insulator. The heat from surface to the bottom of the beaker will take a lot of time. Moreover, no convection current is formed so, heat might not even reach the bottom surface. Hydrogen bonding also play a vital role in determining the thermal properties of water.

hence option A is correct

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2 Problems Using Mechanical Energy II. The Great Sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer wh
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

v = 15.45 m/s

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation we can say that here since friction is present in the barrel so we will have

Work done by friction force = Loss in mechanical energy

so we will have

W_f = (U_i + K_i) - (U_f + K_f)

here we know that

W_f = F_f . d

W_f = 40 \times 4

W_f = 160 J

Initial compression in the spring is given as

F = kx

4400 = 1100 x

x = 4 m

now from above equation

W_f = (\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + 0) - (mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2)

160 = (\frac{1}{2}1100(4^2) + 0) - (60 \times 9.8\times 2.50 + \frac{1}{2}(60)v^2)

160 = 8800 - 1470 - 30 v^2

v = 15.45 m/s

If the area of an iron rod is 10 cm by 0.5 cm and length is 35 cm. Find the value of resistance, if 11x10^-8 ohm.m be the resist
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Resistance of the iron rod, R = 0.000077 ohms    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of iron rod, A=10\ cm\times 0.5\ cm=5\ cm^2 = 0.0005\ m^2

Length of the rod, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Resistivity of Iron, \rho=11\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the resistance of the iron rod. It is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}

R=11\times 10^{-8}\times \dfrac{0.35\ m}{0.0005\ m^2}

R=0.000077 \Omega

So, the resistance of the rod is 0.000077 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

It is seen that a tire pressure will increase or decrease 1 psi for each 10^{\circ} F  change in temperature.

For Technician B vehicle pressure should not be adjusted after tire has been warmed as the warm air may increase the pressure but it will be auto adjusted as  the temperature falls to normal .
