Vacum flask has inner layer of glass and outer body of plastic.the glass has a reflective metal layer..when a hot drink is poured into the flask it prevents conduction.tight lid stops the convection.when radiation tries to leave the hot drink the reflective layer of the glass reflects it back so no heat can escape.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes by, five more crests pass in a time of 50.2 s.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

(a) The period of a wave is the time required for one complete cycle. In this case, we have the time of five cycles. So:

T=\frac{t}{n}\\\\T=\frac{50.2s}{5}\\T=10.04s

(b) The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its period:

f=\frac{1}{T}\\f=\frac{1}{10.04s}\\f=0.01Hz

(c) The wavelength is the distance between two successive crests, so:

\lambda=30.2m

(d) The speed of a wave is defined as:

v=f\lambda\\v=(0.1Hz)(30.2m)\\v=3.02\frac{m}{s}

What causes an aurora?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 4.00 cm. The electric field strength between the two plates is 5.70×10⁴ V/m.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2280 V

Explanation:

distance between the plates, d = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Electric field strength, E = 5.7 x 10^4 V/m

The formula for potential difference is given by

V = E x d

V = 5.7 x 10^4 x 0.04

V = 2280 V

thus, the potential difference between the plates is 2280 V.
