Joseph studied whether different materials can block certain electromagnetic waves by testing television reception in different

parts of the house. At each part of the house, Joseph used a different antenna. The experiment could have been improved by _______________________________. Question 10 options: Testing reception of a different channel during each trial. Using the same antenna during each trial. Measuring the antenna length in centimeters. Measuring the distance to the television station.

Joseph's experiment could be improved by using the same antenna at each part of the house during each trial instead of using different antenna. By doing so, he can obtain accurate results how is the signal in different part of the house under the same conditions (despite the location). So, he will see the dependence of the signal on the location. If he uses different antenna, than this antenna can also have influence of the signal.

Water is being boiled in an open kettle that has a 0.52-cm-thick circular aluminum bottom with a radius of 12.0 cm. If the water
tangare [24]

Answer:

T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • thickness of the base of the kettle, dx=0.52\ cm=5.2\times 10^{-3}\ m
  • radius of the base of the kettle, r=0.12\ m
  • temperature of the top surface of the kettle base, T_t=100^{\circ}C
  • rate of heat transfer through the kettle to boil water, \dot Q=0.409\ kg.min^{-1}
  • We have the latent heat vaporization of water, L=2260\times 10^3\ J.kg^{-1}
  • and thermal conductivity of aluminium, k=240\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>So, the heat rate:</u>

\dot Q=\frac{0.409\times 2260000}{60}

\dot Q=15405.67\ W

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction we have:</u>

\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}

\dot Q=k\times \pi.r^2\times \frac{T_b-T_t}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}

where:

A= area of the surface through which conduction occurs

T_b= temperature of the bottom surface

15405.67=240\times \pi\times 0.12^2\times \frac{T_b-100}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}

T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C is the temperature of the bottom of the base surface of the kettle.

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

During rescue missions, different types of energy can be devices for flashlight, this could be human powered energy such as squeezing or compressing. In flashlight electrical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.

A squeezing or compressing to get energy for flashlight can be regarded as "DYNAMO PROCESS" it involves spinning of "fly wheels" into the flashlight through consistent squeezing ,which is connected to a dynamo(Dynamo supply electrical current). Hence the needed light is seen on the bulb of the flashlight.

Describe the responses of the human ear to sound waves coming from the
maria [59]

If the sound comes from the right side, the waves reach the right ear before the left ear. if the sound comes from the left side, the waves reach the left ear before the right ear. The difference between the phases of waves reaching both ears is detected by the ears and then interpreted by the brain

A driver of a car enters a new 110 km/h speed zone on the highway. The driver begins to accelerate immediately and reaches 110 k
levacccp [35]

Answer:

30Km/h

Explanation:

acceleration is the change of speed in a given time so when we substract the accelerations we can know how much the car goes per an hour

A test car starts from rest on a horizontal circular track of 115-m radius and increases its speed at a uniform rate to reach 90
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a= 3.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

magnitude of total acceleration = sqrt{radial acceleration^2+tangential acceleration^2}.

we know that tangential acceleration a_t= change in velocity /time taken

now 90 km/h = 25 m/s

a_t = 25/17 = 1.47 m/s^2.

radial acceleration a_r = v^2/r

v= a_t×t = 1.47×13 = 19.11 m/s

a_r = 19.11^2/115=  3.175

now,

a= \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}

a= \sqrt{1.47^2+3.175^2}

a= 3.49 m/s^2
