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.

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the workdone by Ryan?​
Xelga [282]
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the work done by Ryan?

<h2><u>Answer:</u><u>-</u></h2>

<h3>Given,</h3>

=> Force applied by Ryan = 10N

=> Distance covered by the book after applying force = 30 cm

<h3>And,</h3>

30 cm = 0.3 m (distance)

<h3>So,</h3>

=> Work done = Force × Distance

=> 10 × 0.3

=> 3 Joules

\small \boxed{work \: done \:  by \: Ryan \:  = 3 \: Joules}

A pronghorn, the fastest North American animal, is capable of running for at 18 m/s (40 mph) for 10 minutes. The time limit isn’
Otrada [13]

Explanation:

The increase in the body temperature of pronghorn, the fastest North American animal, results from the chemical energy of the pronghorn converting into kinetic energy with efficiency less than 100%. The remaining energy is converted into heat energy. Thus, raising the temperature of pronghorn.

Due to the chemical energy it gains both kinetic and heat energy.

To navigate, a porpoise emits a sound wave that has a wavelength of 3.3 cm. The speed at which the wave travels in seawater is 1
dedylja [7]

Answer:

2.2\times 10^{-5} s

Explanation:

We are given that  

The wavelength of sound wave=\lambda=3.3 cm=3.3\times 10^{-2}m/s

1 cm/s=10^{-2}m/s

Speed of sound wave,v=1522 m/s

We have to find the period of the wave.

We know that

Frequency=\nu=\frac{v}{\lambda}

Using the formula

Frequency =\frac{1522}{3.3\times 10^{-2}}=4.6\times 10^{4} Hz

Time period=\frac{1}{4.6\times 10^4}=0.22\times 10^{-4}\times \frac{10}{10^1}=2.2\times 10^{-4-1}=2.2\times 10^{-5}s

Using identity:\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}

Hence, the time period of the wave=2.2\times 10^{-5} s

g You want to make simultaneous measurements of the position and momentum of an electron and a proton that are moving along a st
Maslowich

Answer:

1832

Explanation:

From;

Δp Δx = h/4π

Δp = uncertainty in momentum

Δx = uncertainty in position

h= Plank's constant

But p =mv hence, Δp= Δmv

m= mass, v= velocity

mass of electron = 9.11 * 10^-31 Kg

Mass of proton = 1.67 * 10^-27 Kg

since m is a constant,

Δv = h/Δxm4π

For proton;

Δv = 6.6 * 10^-34/4 * 3.14 * 1.67 * 10^-27 * 1 * 10^-10

Δv = 315 ms-1

For electron;

Δv = 6.6 * 10^-34/4 * 3.14 * 9.11 * 10^-31 * 1 * 10^-10

Δv = 577000 ms-1

Ratio of uncertainty of electron to that of proton = 577000 ms-1/315 ms-1= 1832
