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.

Which of the following statements is false?
vladimir1956 [14]

An excited atom can return to its ground state by absorbing electromagnetic radiation is false about the electromagnetic radiation.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the scope of modern quantum theory, the term Electromagnetic radiation is identified as the movement of photons through space. Almost all the sources of energy that we utilize today such as coal, oil, etc are a product of electromagnetic radiation which was absorbed from the sun millions of years ago.

Various properties of electromagnetic radiations are a directly proportional relationship between the energy and the frequency, Inverse proportionality between frequency and the wavelength, etc. Hence, we can conclude that an "excited atom" can never return to its ground state by assimilating electromagnetic radiation and the 2nd statement is false.

How does an atmosphere change the temperature of a planet?
jolli1 [7]
The existence of atmosphere increases the average planetary temperature by more than 15°C, due to the greenhouse effect of some atmospheric compounds. The most important of them are water vapour (H2O), ozone (O3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4).

Half Time At 3:00 the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock point in directions that are 90.0
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

3 : 08 : 10.9

Explanation:

assuming a 12 hour clock

angular velocity of the hour hand is 2π/(3600(12)) rad/s

angular velocity of the minute hand is 2π/3600 rad/s

difference is 2π/3600 - 2π/(3600(12)) = 11(2π/(3600(12)) rad/s

45° = π/4 radians

This angle is covered in a time of

π/4 rad / 22π / (3600(12)) = 900(12) / 22 = 490.909090... s

or about 8 minutes 10.9 s

I takes you 42 minutes to travel 32 miles to Ann Arbor. What was your<br> speed getting there?
frez [133]

Answer: 45.71 mi/h

Explanation:

Speed S is defined a:

S=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=32 miles is the traveled distance

t=42 min \frac{1 h}{60 min}=0.7 h is the time

Solving:

S=\frac{32 miles}{0.7 h}

S=45.71 mi/h This is the speed
