-- Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

-- Use "energy efficient" appliances and low-energy lights.

-- Go to bed when the sun sets & get up when it rises.

Heat transfer between two substances is affected by specific heat and the

IgorLugansk [536]

The correct answer is D. Amount of time and area of physical contact between the substances.

Explanation:

Heat transfer refers to the flow of thermal energy or heat between two or more objects. This process involves multiple factors and implies heat from the hottest object goes to the coldest one until there is an equilibrium. To begin, heat transfer depends on the amount of thermal energy in the objects because objects must have a different amount of thermal energy for heat to flow.

Besides this, the amount of energy that flows depends on the time and the contact between the substances of objects. Indeed, objects need to be in contact or close to each other for heat to transfer, and the time needs to be enough for the process to occur. For example, if you place a pot over the fire just for a few seconds it is likely the heat transferred is minimal, which does not occur if you leave the pot more time. At the same time if the pot is in close contact with fire more heat will be transferred.-

In addition to an all-round white light, what light(s) must power-driven vessels less than 65.6 feet (20 meters) long exhibit wh

Lemur [1.5K]

The vessel must also have red and green side lights.

The red light is placed on the port (left) side of the boat while the green light is placed on the starboard (right) side of the vehicle. The white lights are on both the masthead (front) and stern (rear) of the boat, unless the vessel is less than 39.4 feet, in which case the front and rear white light may be combined as only one white light.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.)acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time

90m/s-0m/s /3seconds

=30m/s^2

2.) distance= speed*time

Calculate the equivalent resistance for both circuits. Series circuit: 2 Ω and 4 Ω Parallel circuit: 2 Ω and 4 Ω Which circuit h

goldenfox [79]

Equivalent resistance is also known as the overall resistance.

For resistors in a series circuit, the total resistance is computed using the formula:

$R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}+ R_{3}... R_{n}$

In other words, you just add up the resistance of each resistor in the series circuit. In your case you only have two resistors. You have 2Ω and 4Ω. So all you need to do is add that up.

$R_{T} = R_{1}+ R_{2}$
$R_{T} = 2 + 4=6$

The total resistance of the series circuit is 6Ω

In a parallel circuit you get the total resistance using the formula:
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}...+\frac{1}{R_{n}}$

First you get the sum of all fractions and at the end take the reciprocal of the resulting fraction and divide. So let us take your problem into consideration where you have two resistors that have a resistance of 2Ω and 4Ω.

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{2}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{3}{4}$

Get the reciprocal of the resulting fraction 3/4 and then divide. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

4/3 = 1. 33Ω

So if you compare the equivalent resistance of the two circuits, the series circuit has a higher equivalent resistance.
