Answer:

So the answer would be water based on the evidence shown below.

Explanation:

Mercury is a poor conductor of heat but good for electricity, water is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity, wood is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and glass is probably the worst conductor of heat.

Calculate the Energy (E) in joules for that wavelength and record it in the table below. Remember that E = HF, where h the Planc

Viefleur [7K]

In that formula for Energy, 'F' is the frequency of the photon.
But Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength), so we can write the
Energy formula as
 E = h c / (wavelength) .

So the energy, in joules, of a photon with that wavelength, is . . .

 E = (6.6 x 10⁻³⁴) x (3 x10⁸) / (that wavelength)

 = (1.989 x 10⁻²⁵) / (that wavelength, in meters) .

On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/ $s^{2}$ .

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = $\frac{30}{5}$ ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is $\frac{1}{6}$ of that on the Earth.

m x $\frac{10}{6}$ = k x 5.0

$\frac{10m}{6}$ = 5k

⇒ k = $\frac{10m}{30}$ ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

$\frac{30}{5}$ = $\frac{10m}{30}$

m = $\frac{900}{50}$

= 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

How much heat is absorbed by a 450g gold block as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 27°C to 32°C? (Speci

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

$Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

$Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]$

When the liquid line is restricted, the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced. What is the effect on suction p

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The suction pressure decreases and the superheat increases when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced.

Explanation:

1. The five components of refrigeration are:

Fluid refrigerant
Compressor
Condenser coil
Evaporator coil
Expansion device.

The compressor limits the vapor released by the refrigerant. This

causes a rise in pressure (in refrigerant), which then pushes the

vapor into the coils on the outside of the refrigerator.

2. Now when the cooler air meets the warm gas present in the coils, it

gets converted into liquid form.

3. Thus, when the liquid form is at high pressure, the refrigerant then

cools down as it flows through the coils placed in the fridge ( in both

freezing and normal sections).

4. The refrigerant also absorbs the warm air present in the fridge, which

causes it to evaporate and flow back through the compressor and the

cycle repeats in the same form.

Thus, when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced it causes a decrease in suction pressure and an increase in superheat.
