How many ways can you see that heat can transfer from the inside to the outside of your home on a cold day? List at least three

and describe in detail how heat moves through the different kinds of materials (glass, brick, wood, insulation, etc.)—by conduction, convection or radiation. Which process do you suppose dominates? Explain your reasoning.

Answer: Heat transfers through brick walls and glass through conduction. In conduction heat is transferred by vibration of molecules. most energetic molecules vibrate and pass on the energy to less energetic molecules. Then they vibrate and further pass on the  energy. In this way heat is transferred out of the home. Heat also transfers through the leakage of warm air from doors and windows. This occurs through convection. In convection energy is transferred through bulk movement of liquid and air molecules. Heat also transfers from insulation. in insulation there is no material in between the layers. So heat transfer through insulation occurs through radiations that occurs by X-Rays, Ultravoilet rays etc.

Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is 2.1x 108 m/s. The speed of light in vacuum is 3x10
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

n = 1.42

Explanation:

The refractive index for a medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\n=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.1\times 10^8}\\\\n = 1.42

So, the refractive index of the medium is 1.42.

How does a decrease in thermal energy affect the particle motion in each state of matter
Valentin [98]
The thermal energy is proportional to the movement of the particles in every state.

Decreasing the thermal energy will decrease the movement.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

– 2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

We have,

• Initial velocity, u = 180 km/h = 50 m/s

• Final velocity, v = 0 m/s (it stops)

• Time taken, t = 20 seconds

We have to find acceleration, a.

\longrightarrow a = (v ― u)/t

\longrightarrow a = (0 – 50)/20 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = –50/20 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = – 5/2 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = – 2.5 m/s² (Velocity is decreasing) [Answer]
