Answer:

Less air pressure.

Explanation:

Thermal energy travels in many different ways and one of those ways is through the air so if there's less air, it would reduce thermal energy transfer.

The silver coating on the inner bottle prevents heat transfer by radiation, and the vacuum between its double wall prevents heat moving by convection. The thinness of the glass walls stops heat entering or leaving the flask by conduction.

Big Ben, a large artifact in England, has a mass of 1x10^8 kilograms and the Empire State Building 1x10^9 kilograms. The distanc

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The force, exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The question relates to the force of gravity experienced between two bodies

The given parameters are;

The mass of Big Ben, M₁ = 1 × 10⁸ kg

The mass of the Empire State Building, M₂ = 1 × 10⁹ kg

The distance between the two Big Ben and the Empire State Building, r = 5,000,000 meters

By Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

$F=G \times \dfrac{M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where;

F = The force exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building and vice versa

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

M₁, M₂, and r are the given parameters

By plugging in the values of the parameters and the constant into the equation for Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

$F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \times \dfrac{1 \times 10^8 \times 1 \times 10^9}{(5,000,000)^{2}} = 2.66972 \times 10^{-7}$

The force, 'F', exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is F = 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

An object is 10 cm from thé mirror, its height is 1 cm and thé focal length is 5 cm. What is thé distance from thé mirror? S1= _

Viefleur [7K]

Note: I assume the mirror is concave, so that its focal length is positive (it is not specified in the text)

1a) We can use the mirror equation to find the distance of the image from the mirror:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
where
$f=5 cm$ is the focal length
$p=10 cm$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$q$ is the distance of the image from the mirror.

Rearranging the equation, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{5}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{1}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is $q=10 cm$ .

1b) The image height is given by the magnification equation:
$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}$
where $h_i$ is the heigth of the image and $h_o=1 cm$ is the height of the object. By rearranging the equation and using p and q, we find
$h_i=-h_o \frac{p}{q}=-(1 cm) \frac{10 cm}{10 cm}=-1 cm$
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

2) As before, we can find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
$q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm$

3) As before, we find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
$q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm$

And now we can use the magnification equation to find the image height:
$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$h_i=-h_o \frac{p}{q}=-(3cm) \frac{10 cm}{2.5 cm}=-12 cm$
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.
