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?

Physics

avanturin [10]3 years ago
4 0

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

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.2 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

vovangra [49]
Answer: 3.5 seconds

EXPLANATION:

Using the formula:
v = u + at
And taking the upwards direction as positive, we have the following information:

u = 35 m/s
a = -10m/s^2 (this is acceleration due to gravity)

At the top of its path, the apple will have a velocity of 0 m/s, therefore:

v = 0m/s

Once you substitute everything into the formula, you get:

0 = 35 + (-10)t

Therefore, t = 35/10 = 3.5 seconds

Jack has two boxes. One is 148g and one is 78g. If jack pushes both boxes with the same amount of force, which will accelerate f
Step2247 [10]
The 78g box, since it has less weight, would accelerate faster. If you had a frictionless surface, and you conducted this experiment, both boxes, without any outside forces, would accelerate at the same rate forever. However, in this problem we must assume the surface is not frictionless. Friction is determined by weight; the more weight, the more friction. Since the 78g box has less weight, it has less friction, making it easier to push with less force.
