The spread of fire from the ground floor to an upper floor of a building primarily due to heat transfer by

The correct answer is by convection.

In fact, in a fluid (like the air in the room full of fire) the warmer parts of the fluid move upward, replacing the colder parts which go down. For this very same reason, the fire spreads moving toward the upper floors of the bulding.

Which meteorites are the most useful for defining the age of the solar system? Why?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

meteorite is a piece of interplanetary debris that lives its fiery drops during a through the earth's atmosphere and strikes the surface of the earth.

Explanation:

the meteorites which are most useful for the determination of the age of the solar system are the primitive meteorites. they consist light of colored or grey silicates mixed with metallic grains. the parent bodies of these meteorites are also mostly believed to be pieces asteriods left after they formed in the solar system.

Can someone help??
Paul [167]

Answer:

F = 2520 N

Explanation:

We have,

The maximum acceleration of a fist in a karate punch is 4200 m/s². The mass of the fist is 0.6 kg.

It is required to find the force that the wood place on the fist. Force is given by the product of mass and its acceleration such that,

F = ma

F=0.6\times 4200\\\\F=2520\ N

So, the force of 2520 N is acting on the wood.

A missile is moving 1350 m/s at a 25.0° angle. It needs to hit a target 23,500 m away in a 55.0° direction in 10.20 s. What is d
QveST [7]

Answer:

  The target's velocity is about 1320 m/s in the direction 265.7°.

Explanation:

In order for there to be a collision between missile and target, we must have ...

  (target starting position) + (target movement) = (missile movement)

assuming the missile starts from the origin of all measurements. The missile moves 10.2 seconds before impact, so moves a distance of ...

  (10.2 s)(1350 m/s) = 13,770 m

__

We are interested in the target movement, so we can solve for that:

  (target movement) = (missile movement) - (target starting position)

In terms of meters, this is ...

  (target movement) = 13770∠25° - 23500∠55° ≈ 13467.74∠-94.3°

The target covers this distance in the same 10.2 seconds before collision, so its speed is (13467.74 m)/(10.2 s) ≈ 1320.4 m/s.

As a positive angle, the target's direction is ...

  -94.3° +360° = 265.7°

The direction of the target's velocity is 265.7°.

_____

If you're calculating this by hand, there are a couple of ways you can do it. You can convert to rectangular coordinates and back (perhaps least confusing), or you can use the law of cosines to solve the triangle, then translate angles back to the x-y coordinate plane.

Using rectangular coordinates, we have ...

  13770∠25° = 13770(cos(25°), sin(25°)) ≈ (12479.9, 5819.45)

  23500∠55° = 23500(cos(55°), sin(55°)) ≈ (13479.0, 19250.1)

Then the difference is ...

  (12479.9, 5819.45) -(13479.0, 19250.1) ≈ (-999.188, -13430.6)

and the (3rd-quadrant) angle is ...

  target direction = arctan(-13430.6/-999.188) ≈ -94.3° = 265.7°

__

The target's speed is found by dividing the distance it covers by the time it takes.

  √(13430.6² +999.188²)/10.2 ≈ 1320.36 . . . m/s
