16. Solids cannot transport heat through convection. Because solids are stuck in place so they can't flow and since they can't flow, there is no convection.
17. It is because the metal conducts heat faster that it feels colder than the wood, which conducted heat slower. In other words metals are good conductors of heat. It takes away your body heat as you touch it and which makes your body temperature to drop, therefore you feel the coldness when you touch a piece of metal.

Since Beth rode the Flying saucer ride which is spinning on its axis while axis is moving to and fro as well, so here Beth will experience two motions in this case
(i) Spinning motion
(ii) Rotational motion
#2
Jill and Scott both traveled for 30 min
So time of motion for both is 0.5 h as we know that 1 h = 60 min
Now from the formula of speed we know that

Speed of Jill

speed of Scott

so correct answer is
B) Scott had the faster speed since he rode at 20 k/h while Jill only traveled 10 km/h.
#3
Since we know that <em>acceleration is rate of change in velocity</em>
So here we can say that every motion where velocity changes with time then it is an accelerated motion.
Now change in velocity occurs when either the magnitude will change or its direction will change because here velocity is a vector quantity and it will change with magnitude and direction both.
so here due to oval path the direction of velocity will changes at many points and hence it will be an accelerated motion.
so correct answer is
<em>C) James was right since the car changed direction during the race.</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
No, the bungee jumper is not at equilibrium.
This can be explained when we consider a bungee jumper as a mass that is undergoing simple harmonic motion. At extreme points i.e. at the bottom, the velocity of the jumper is zero but not the acceleration because it is acting in the opposite direction that is why the jumper moves upward.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let x ft be used to make square and 2-x ft be used to make equilateral triangle.
each side of square = x/4
area of square = ( x /4 )²
Each side of triangle
= (2-x) /3
Area of triangle = 1/2 (2-x)²/9 sin 60
= √3 / 36 x (2-x)²
Total area
A = ( x /4 )² +√3 / 36 (2-x)²
For maximum area
dA/dx = 0
1/16( 2x ) -√3 / 36 x2(2-x) = 0
x / 8 - √3(2-x)/ 18 = 0
x / 8 - √3/9 + √3/18 x = 0
x ( 1/8 + √3/18 ) = √3/9
x(.125 +.096 ) = .192
x = .868 ft
