(This may not be Physics!!!) Why does an ice cube melt when held in someone's hand?

Physics

Because the heat from your hand is leaving your hand and going into the ice cube which makes it melt and since th heat is leaving your hand your hand feels cold.

How to solve for resistors​
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

  A1 = 3A, A2 = 1.5A

  Effective resistance = 2Ω

Explanation:

When the switch is closed, the voltage across each resistor is 6V, so the current through it (A2) is ...

  A2 = 6V/(4Ω) = 1.5A

There are two parallel paths, each with that current, so the current from the battery is ...

  A1 = A2 +A2 = 1.5A +1.5A = 3.0A

Then the effective resistance is ...

  Reff = 6V/(3.0A) = 2.0Ω

The solution to the circuit is ...

  A1 = 3A, A2 = 1.5A

  Effective resistance = 2Ω

A balloon filled with 2.00 L of helium initially at 1.25 atm of pressure rises into the atmosphere. When the surrounding pressur
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

final  volume the balloon occupy in instant before it burst is 4.634 L

Explanation:

given data

helium filled V1 = 2 L

initially pressure P1 = 1.25 atm

finally pressure P2  =  410 mmHg

1 atm = 760 mmHg

to find out

at what volume the balloon occupy in instant before it burst

solution

we have given

760 mmHg = 1atm

and 1 mmHg = 1/760

so 410mmHg = 410/760 atm

so that final pressure is =  410/760 atm

we use here  Boyle's Law that is

Boyle's law states that "the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas at constant temperatures"

so P  ∝  1/V

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1 / P2

put all value

V2 = 1.25 (2) /  (410/760)

V2  = 2.5 / 0.53947  = 4.634

so final  volume the balloon occupy in instant before it burst is 4.634 L

A bicycle has wheels of 0.70 m diameter. The bicyclist accelerates from rest with constant acceleration to 22 km/h in 10.8 s. Wh
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

\alpha=0.16\frac{rad}{s^2}

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined as the variation of angular speed with respect to time:

\alpha=\frac{\omega}{t}

The relation between the angular speed and the linear speed is given by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

Replacing (2) in (1):

\alpha=\frac{v}{rt}

We need to convert \frac{km}{h} to \frac{m}{s}:

22\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=6.11\frac{m}{s}

Recall that:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.7m}{2}=3.5m

Replacing:

\alpha=\frac{6.11\frac{m}{s}}{(3,5m)(10.8s)}\\\alpha=0.16\frac{rad}{s^2}

100.0 J of work accelerates a 0.500 kg hockey puck across an ice rink (a frictionless
Olegator [25]

Answer:

d. 100.0 J

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. This tells us that the mechanical energy in the final state is equal to the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work done on a body. In this way we come to the following equation:

E₁ + W₁₋₂ = E₂

where:

E₁ = mechanical energy at state 1. [J] (units of Joules)

E₂ = mechanical energy at state 2. [J]

W₁₋₂ = work done from 1 to 2 [J]

We have to remember that mechanical energy is defined as the sum of potential energy plus kinetic energy.

The energy in the initial state is zero, since there is no movement of the hockey puck before imparting force. E₁ = 0.

The Work on the hockey puck is equal to:

W₁₋₂ = 100 [J]

100 = E₂

Since the ice rink  is horizontal there is no potential energy, there is only kinetic energy

Ek = 100 [J]

It can be said that the work applied on the hockey puck turns into kinetic energy
