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.

What is 16.558 m/s rounded to three significant figures?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option C. 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.

So.

16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf

Two blocks with masses M1 and M2 hang one under the other.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

(a)T= M2 × g,    (b)T= (M1 + M2)g,   (c)T= M2 (a + g) and  (d)T=(M1 + M2) (a + g)

Explanation:

M1 is hanged upper and M2 is lower at Rest.

(a) For M2

T2 = Weight of the Body M2= M2 × g

(b) T1 = Weight of the Body M2 + Weight of the Body M2

T1 = M1 g + M2 g = (M1 + M2)g

M1 is hanged upper and M2 is lower at accelerated upwards ( F = T - W)

(c) For M2

⇒T = M2a + M2g = M2 (a + g)

(d) For M1

T = (M1 + M2) a + (M1 + M2) g

⇒ T = (M1 + M2) (a + g)

The electric force between two charged balloons is 0.16 newtons. If the distance between them is doubled, what will the new forc
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>So we wan't to know what will the Coulomb force be between two charged baloons will be if we double the distance between the them and Fc=0.16N. The coulomb force between two charges is Fc=k*Q1*Q2/r^2. So we see from the equation that the magnitude of the force will be smaller as we increase the distance. So let's increase the distance from r to R=2r. If we input thai into the equation we get: Fc=k*Q1*Q2/R^2. Now: Fc=k*Q1*Q2/(2r)^2. And finally: Fc= k*Q1*Q2/4r^2. And if we factor out 1/4 we get: Fc=(1/4)*k*Q1*Q2/r^2. Now we can see that if we double the distance the magnitude of the force will be smaller for a factor of 1/4 or the magnitude of the force will be smaller 4 times. So finally the force is (1/4)*0.16N= 0.04N. So the correct answer is A. 0.04 newtons. </span>
