Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

There are three modes of transfer of heat.

1. conduction

2. Convection

3. radiation

Radiation is the process in which the heat travels through the medium without being heated the interventing medium. In this mode of heat transfer there is no requirement of medium.

So, here, the palm is heated due to the heat transfer from the lamp by the mode of radiation.

(.140*25)+(75*0)= 3.5

3.5 = (.140 + 75)v

(3.5)/(.140 + 75) = v = .04657

9. Magnesium 9 (Mg), Calcium (Ca) and Barium (Ba) are all in the same group on the periodic
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

C. They all react with substances in similar ways

Explanation:

First of all, let's define a few quantities:

- Atomic number: it is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. For neutral atoms, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons in the atom (since neutral atoms have same number of protons and electrons)

- Valence electrons: these are the electrons in the most external shell of the atom. When the outermost shell is full, the element does not react, since it does not easily gain/give away electrons. When the outermost shell is not full, the atom tends to gain or give away electrons in order to complete this shell, so the atom is more reactive.

Now we can analyze the different statements:

A. They all have the same atomic number  --> false: magnesium has atomic number 12, calcium has atomic number 20, barium has atomic number 56

B. They all have the same number of electrons  --> false: since the atomic number of the 3 elements is different, they have different number of electrons

C. They all react with substances in similar ways  --> true: these 3 elements are all in the same group of the periodic table, this means they have the same number of valence electrons, so they all react in the same way

D. They were all discovered by Dmitri Mendeleev --> false: these elements were already known before Mendeleev, he just re-arranged them into the periodic table

We have a long wire with a circular cross section and radius a = 2.40 cm. The current density in this wire is uniform, with a to
Alika [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 7.49x10⁻⁶T

Explanation:

The magnetic field is:

B=(\frac{\mu i}{2\pi R^{2} } )r

Where

i = current = 3 A

R = radius = 2.4 cm = 0.024 m

r = distance = 0.72 cm = 7.2x10⁻³m

Replacing:

B=(\frac{4\pi x10^{-7} *3}{2\pi *0.024^{2} } )*7.2x10^{-3}= 7.49x10^{-6} T

A wave pulse travels along a string at a speed of 230 cm/s . Note that parts a - d are independent and refer to changes made to
Oksanka [162]

a) The speed of the wave will increase by a factor \sqrt{2}.

b) The speed of the wave will halve

c) The speed of the wave will double

Explanation:

a)

The speed of a standing wave on a string is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}

where

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the string

L is the length of the string

In this part of the problem, the tension in the string is doubled, so that the new tension is

T' = 2T

Substituting into the equation, we find the new speed of the wave in the string:

v'=\sqrt{\frac{T'}{m/L}}=\sqrt{\frac{2T}{m/L}}=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}=\sqrt{2}v

So, the speed will increase by a factor \sqrt{2}.

b)

We can solve also this part by referring to the formula

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}

where

T is the tension

m is the mass

L is the length

In this case, the string mass is quadrupled, so the new mass is:

m' = 4m

Substituting into the equation, we find what happens to the speed of the wave:

v'=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m'/L}}=\sqrt{\frac{T}{4m/L}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}=\frac{1}{2}v

So, the speed of the wave will halve.

c)

Again, we can solve this part by referring to the same equation

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}

where

T is the tension

m is the mass

L is the length

In this case, the length of the string is quadrupled, so the new length is:

L' = 4L

Substituting into the equation, we find that the new speed is:

v'=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L'}}=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/(4L)}}=\sqrt{4}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}=2v

So, the speed of the wave will  double.
