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. :)

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

F_{net}= 85.41\ N

Explanation:

mass of the bicycle + cyclist = 50 kg

constant speed = 6 km/h

a cyclist coasting down a 5.0° incline

the downward velocity is constant, so net acceleration must be zero

the air drag must be equal to gravitational force downward along the ramp

F_a = mg sin \theta  

now for upward motion

F_{net} = mg sin \theta + air\ drag

F_{net} = mg sin \theta + mg sin \theta

F_{net} = 2 mg sin \theta

F_{net} = 2\times 50 \times 9.8 sin 5^0

F_{net}= 85.41\ N

Malcolm and Ravi raced each other. The average of their maximum speeds was 260 km/h If doubled, Malcolm's maximum speed would be
AfilCa [17]

Answer

Given,

Average speed of Malcolm and Ravi = 260 km/h

Let speed of the Malcolm be X and speed of the Ravi Y.

From the given statement

\dfrac{X+Y}{2}=260

X + Y = 520 ....(i)

2X - Y = 80  ....(ii)

Adding both the equations

3 X = 600

 X = 200 km/h

Putting value in equation (i)

Y = 520 - 200

Y = 320 Km/h

Speed of Malcolm = 200 Km/h

Speed of Ravi = 320 Km/h

If the range of a projectile's trajectory is six times larger than the height of the trajectory, then what was the angle of laun
zvonat [6]

Answer:

H = 1/2 g t^2    where t is time to fall a height H

H = 1/8 g T^2   where T is total time in air  (2 t  = T)

R = V T cos θ       horizontal range

3/4 g T^2 = V T cos θ       6 H = R    given in problem

cos θ = 3 g T / (4 V)           (I)

Now t = V sin θ / g     time for projectile to fall from max height

T = 2 V sin θ / g

T / V = 2 sin θ / g

cos θ = 3 g / 4 (T / V)     from (I)

cos θ = 3 g / 4 * 2 sin V / g = 6 / 4 sin θ

tan θ = 2/3      

θ = 33.7 deg

As a check- let V = 100 m/s

Vx = 100 cos 33.7 = 83,2

Vy = 100 sin 33,7 = 55.5

T = 2 * 55.5 / 9.8 = 11.3 sec

H = 1/2 * 9.8 * (11.3 / 2)^2 = 156

R = 83.2 * 11.3 = 932

R / H = 932 / 156 = 5.97        6 within rounding
