The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

Candle flame gases go up and not out, so your hand is okay with being next to the flame and not above it. You can also see the gases above the flame if you look. :)

The velocity of a car changes from 50 m/s north to 40 m/s north in 2 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration?
Zigmanuir [339]
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the change in time. Since the velocity changed from 50 m/s to 40 m/s (-10 m/s change) in 2 seconds, then the acceleration is (-10/2) = -5 m/s^2 northward. Hope this helps!

345nm=____mm<br>I need to see how to work the problem out​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

3.45×10⁻⁴mm (or 0.000345mm)

Explanation:

Use a method called dimensional analysis here. It involves a chain of conversions, so we'll need some conversions to work with.

  • 1nm = 1×10⁻⁹m
  • 1mm = 1×10⁻³m
  • 345nm; which is given

If you knew the conversion from nanometers to millimeters then you could just do it in one step. But I don't, so I won't. Anyways, you put the conversions into fraction form like so:

  • 1nm/1×10⁻⁹m
  • 1mm/1×10⁻³m

And then orient them in a way where multiplying the two (or more in other instances) gives you the units you want. In this cas it's millimeters so you'll have:

(345nm)•(1×10⁻⁹m/1nm)•(1mm/1×10⁻³m)

Notice how all the units reduce except for mm. From here you just multiply across and should get 345×10⁻⁶mm which simplifies to 3.45×10⁻⁴mm.

A crate of eggs is located in the middle of the flatbed of a pickup truck as the truck negotiates a curve in the flat road. The
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 14.35 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that crate is placed on rough bed

so here when pickup will take a turn around a circle then in that case the friction force on the crate will provide the necessary centripetal force on the crate

So here we have

\mu mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

here we have

\mu g = \frac{v^2}{R}

now we know that

v = \sqrt{\mu Rg}

here we have

\mu = 0.600

R = 35 m

g = 9.81 m/s/s

now plug in all values in above equation

v = \sqrt{(0.600)(35)(9.81)}

v = 14.35 m/s
