Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. Whereas convection is the transfer of heat through the currents which generate by warming or cooling of liquids or gases.

On the other hand, radiation is the direct transfer of electromagnetic waves in the form of heat through the space.

Therefore, when you hold a mug of hot chocolate to warm your hands then due to the direct contact with the mug your hands get warmer.

Hence, this transfer of heat is through the process of conduction.

The initial speed of a body is 7.1 m/s. What is its speed after 2.23 s if it accelerates uniformly at 2.64 m/s 2 ? Answer in uni

Nana76 [90]

13.0m/s

1.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed of the body = 7.1m/s

time taken = 2.23s

Acceleration = 2.64m/s²

Unknown:

Final speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

a = $\frac{V - U}{T}$

a = acceleration

V = final speed

U = initial speed

T = time taken

Input the variables and solve for V;

2.64 = $\frac{V - 7.1}{2.23}$

V - 7.1 = 5.9 expression 1

V = 5.9 + 7.1 = 13.0m/s

Using the same parameters, the speed after a uniform deceleration of -2.64m/s², the negative sign implies deceleration;

from expression 1;

V - 7.1 = -5.9

V = -5.9 + 7.1 = 1.2m/s

Confirm if this is correct or not. If it isn't correct, please correct it.

Answer:

d = 421.83 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height, h = 396.9 m

Horizontal speed, v = 46.87 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the ball horizontally. Let t is the time taken by the ball. Using second equation of motion for vertical direction. So,

$396.9=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2\\\\t=9\ s$

Now d is the distance covered by the cannonball. So,

$d=vt\\\\d=46.87\times 9\\\\d=421.83\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.

KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs

7. A block of copper of unknown mass has an initial temperature of 65.4oC. The copper is immersed in a beaker containing 95.7g o

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

37.34372 kg

Explanation:

m = Mass

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

1 denotes water

2 denotes copper

c = Heat capacity

Heat is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T$

In this case the heat transfer will be equal

$m_1c_1\Delta T_1=m_2c_2\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{m_1c_1\Delta T_1}{c_2\Delta T_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{95.7\times 4.18(24.2-22.7)}{0.39(65.4-24.2)}\\\Rightarrow m_2=37.34372\ kg$

Mass of copper block is 37.34372 kg

Name 2 ways that sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different. Describe specifically.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.
