Physics

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • When we place two objects of different temperature adjacent to each other then there will occur transfer of heat from hotter object to colder object till their temperature becomes equal.  

This process is known as conduction.

Hence, when heat is being transferred from surface to the underground then it is due to the process of conduction.

  • Convection is defined as the process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) when heated then more dense (cooler) substance sinks ate the bottom whereas less dense (hotter) substance will rises at the top.
  • Radiation is defined as a process in which an electromagnetic energy will travel through space in the form of waves or particles.
  • Condensation is a process in which vapor state of a substance changes into liquid state.

Thus, we can conclude that heat from the surface is transferred underground by conduction.

How do you find speed of a ball at maximum height
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

At maximum height, the vertical component of a ball's speed is 0.  So the net speed is equal to whatever the horizontal component of the ball is.  If the ball is launched straight up, the speed at the highest point is simply 0.

Help meeeeeeeeeeeeee! please show work! In a collision, Kara Less who was traveling at 11 m/s while texting in her 1300 kg car,
raketka [301]

The impulse experienced is -18,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object. Mathematically:

I=\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity of the object

u is the initial velocity

\Delta p is the change in momentum

I is the impulse

In the collision in this problem,

m = 1300 kg is the mass of the car

u = 11 m/s is the initial velocity

v = -2.5 m/s is the final velocity (negative, since it is in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find

I=(1300)(-2.5-11)=-17,550 kg m/s

So the closest choice is

-18,000 kg m/s

Can you change the weight of something without changing the mass?
svlad2 [7]

yes because your mass doesn't change but your weight can


ex- if you travel to Saturn your weight would change but your mass would stay the same

The vitreous humor, a transparent, gelatinous fluid that fills most of the eyeball, has an index of refraction of 1.34. Visible
Leto [7]

Answer:

a)   298.5 nm ,  522.4 nm  and b)  radiation frequency does not change

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a medium with a different index of refraction, the medium vibrates the molecules, as if it were a resonance process, whereby the medium vibrates at the same frequency as the incident light.

On the other hand, when the light reaches another medium its average speed within the medium changes, it is now less than the speed of light in a vacuum (c) for this to happen as we saw that the frequency is constant there must be a change in the wavelength of the radiation that is characterized by the ratio

    λₙ = λ₀ / n

    λₙ = 400 nm    in the void

    λₙ = 400 / 1.34

    λₙ= 298.5 nm

   λ₀ = 700 nm

   λₙ = 700 / 1.34

   λₙ = 522.4 nm

The radiation frequency does not change

What invisible force will cause you to fall to the earth if you fall off your bed?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The answer to this is falling all the way through the Earth is impossible, since its core is molten. ... As you approached the center of the earth the pull of gravity would decline and eventually (at the center) cease, but inertia would keep you going.

Explanation:

your welcome
