If one's hands are being warmed by holding them to one side of a flame, the predominant form of heat transfer is what process?

Answer:

b. radiation

Explanation:

The correct choice is

b. radiation

Radiation is the process of heat transfer where no medium is required. Air is present between hands and flame and thermal conductivity of air is very low.

The hands are not in direct contact with the flame, hence conduction process of heat transfer is not possible.

In convection process of heat transfer, we have the warmer part of the medium moving towards the colder part. hence the convection is also not responsible for transfer of heat in this scenario

The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the st

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the system is in international space station

so here we can say that net force on the system is zero here

so Force by the astronaut on the space station = Force due to space station on boy

so here we know that

mass of boy = 70 kg

acceleration of boy = $1.50 m/s^2$

now we know that

$F = ma$

$F = 70(1.50) = 105 N$

now for the space station will be same as above force

$F = ma$

$105 = 1.8 \times 10^5 (a)$

$a = \frac{105}{1.8 \times 10^5}$

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

A runner of mass 80 kg is moving at 8.0 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy.

lana [24]

Answer:

2560J

Explanation:

By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:

K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J
