Explanation:

The moon is the earth satellite and it orbits our blue planet. Earth, moon and mercury are all rock materials in the solar system. They are all made up of dense silicate balls of rocks.

The Earth and Mercury are made up of silicate minerals and some iron core but the moon is predominant made up of silicate balls.
The earth has liquid water on it's surface but the moon has no liquid water.
The earth is an active planet in terms of tectonic activity. The moon is not active tectonically.

Calculate the acceleration of a bus that goes

Svet_ta [14]

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

The formula of the acceleration is $a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t}$ , where

$v_{1}$ is the initial velocity

$v_{2}$ is the final velocity
t is the time

A bus that goes from 10 km/h to a speed of 50 km/h in 10 seconds

→ $v_{1}$ = 10 km/h

→ $v_{2}$ = 50 km/h

→ t = 10 seconds

Change the unite of the time from seconds to hour

→ 1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

→ 10 seconds = $\frac{10}{3600}=\frac{1}{360}$ hour

Substitute these values in the formula of the acceleration above

→ $a=\frac{50-10}{\frac{1}{360}}$

→ a = 14400 km/h²

To change the unit of acceleration to meter per second change the

kilometer to meter and the hour to seconds

→ 1 km = 1000 m

→ 1 hour = 3600 seconds

→ $a=\frac{14400*1000}{(3600)^{2}}=\frac{10}{9}$

→ a = 1.11 m/sec².

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 1.2 W of power. The resistor is 2 cm long, and has a diameter of 0.

34kurt

Answer:

(a) The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Explanation:

(a) The amount of heat dissipated ( $Q$ ), measured in joules, by the cylindrical resistor is the power multiplied by operation time ( $\Delta t$ ), measured in hours. That is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (1)

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ and $\Delta t = 86400\,s$ , then the amount of heat dissipated by the resistor is:

$Q = (1.2\,W)\cdot (86400\,s)$

$Q = 103680\,J$

The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux ( $Q'$ ), measured in watts per square meter, is the heat transfer rate divided by the area of the cylinder ( $A$ ), measured in square meters:

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{A}$ (2)

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}+\pi\cdot D \cdot h }$ (3)

Where:

$D$ - Diameter, measured in meters.

$h$ - Length, measured in meters.

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ , $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ and $h = 2\times 10^{-2}\,m$ , the heat flux of the resistor is:

$Q' = \frac{1.2\,W}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+\pi\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (2\times 10^{-2}\,m) }$

$Q' \approx 4340.589\,\frac{W}{m^{2}}$

The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) Since heat is uniformly transfered, then the fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces ( $r$ ), no unit, is the ratio of the top and bottom surfaces to total surface:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}}{A}$ (3)

If we know that $A \approx 2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ and $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ , then the fraction is:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2} }{2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}$

$r = 0.045$

The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Why a drop of spirit on the hand feels colder than a drop of water at the same temperature

brilliants [131]

Answer:

This is because spirit has a lower boiling point when compared to water

Explanation:

spirit has a lower boiling point when compared to water which means it has the capacity to pull more heat from your hand and also it can do this very fast. This is why our hand feels colder.

The properties of element 17 are most similar to which of the following elements?

DedPeter [7]

Halogens are highly reactive nonmetal elements in group 17 of the periodic table. ... Halogens are among the most reactive of all elements. They have seven valence electrons, so they are very “eager” to gain one electron to have a full outer energy level.
