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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 26.8 LL at a pressure of 744 mmHgmmHg and a temperature of 31.2 ∘C∘C. The balloon r

elena-s [515]

Answer:

43.96 L

Explanation:

We are given that

$V_1=26.8 L$

$P_1=744mm Hg$

$T_1=31.2^{\circ} C=31.2+273=304.2K$

$P_2=385mmHg$

$T_2=-14.8^{\circ}=273-14.8=258.2K$

We know that

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1}$

Substitute the values

$V_2=\frac{744\times 26.8\times 258.2}{385\times 304.2}$

$V_2=43.96 L$

Hence, the volume of balloon at -14.8 degree Celsius=43.96 L

An ice boat is coasting along a frozen lake. Friction between the ice and the boat is negligible, and so is air resistance. Noth

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(A) No

(B) Speed decreases

Explanation:

(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.

(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).
