Answer:

Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction refers to the transfer of energy through the movement of particles that are in contact with each other. It could be heat conduction, electrical conduction or sound conduction. Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the transfer of energy from a warmer substance to a colder one through direct contact, for example, someone touching the handle of a hot metal skillet.

Electrical conduction is the transfer of electrically charged particles through a medium, for example, electricity traveling through the power lines in a house.

Sound conduction (or acoustic conduction) is the transfer of sound waves through a medium, for example, vibrations from loud music passing through a wall.

Answer:

Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction is applied to the situation in which energy has been transferred from faster particles to slower ones and as a result the particles end up traveling at the same speed. The collision between particles is elastic, hence no energy is lost in the process of collision and hence slower particles are accelerated and faster particles are slowed down to match the speeds while achieving the same temperature.

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a northerly headin
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The compass will indicate a turn to the left.

Explanation:

The magnetic compass has a needle pointing towards north. It is used for navigation and it shows direction with respect to the geographical cardinal direction.

As we move to the right of the northerly heading in northern Hemisphere, the direction of needle will move towards left but with a faster rate as now the direction of north is no his left.

This shows the compass if following its direction properly.

Car À moves at a speed of 8m/s for 43 seconds. Car B moves at a speed of 7 m/s for 50 seconds. Which car traveled a longer dista
nadezda [96]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Car A: Distance = (8 m/s) x (43 s)  =  344 meters

Car B: Distance = (7 m/s) x (50 s)  =  350 meters

350 meters is a longer distance than 344 meters.

<em>Car-B traveled a longer distance</em> than Car-A did.

A diffraction grating with 1000 lines per mm is used in a spectrometer to measure the wavelengths of light emitted from a gas di
frez [133]

Answer:

= 9.8°

Explanation:

Width of one slit (a₁ ) = 1 / 1000 mm=0.001 mm = 10⁻⁶ m.

width of one slit in case 2 (a₂ ) = 1/500 =2 x 10⁻⁶ m

angular position of fringe, Sinθ  = n λ /a

n is order of fringe , λ is wave length of light and a  is slit aperture

So Sinθ  ∝ 1 / a

Sin θ₁ /Sin θ₂ = a₂/a₁ ;

Sin20°/sinθ₂ = 2 / 1

sinθ₂ = Sin 20° / 2 = .342/2 = .171

θ₂ = 9.8 °
