Wood doesn't get hot when it heats up, so number 3
Art [367]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Wood is an insulator.

Explanation: Conductors are those substances which allow heat and electricity to pass through them.Example: Metals

Insulators are those substances which do not allow heat and electricity to pass through them. Example: wood

Pots and pans should be made of conducting material as the heat needs to be transferred from the burner to the pot and then to the food for cooking.

But the handles should be made from insulators so that they do not become hot and thus we can hold the utensil using the handles without getting burnt.

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.3 m/s rel
Sonja [21]

consider east-west direction along X-axis  and north-south direction along Y-axis

V_{ra} = velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s

(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)

V_{ag} = velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s

(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)

V_{rg} = velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?

using the equation

V_{rg} = V_{ra} + V_{ag}

V_{rg} = 12 j + 6.3 i

V_{rg} = 6.3 i + 12 j

magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s

direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east

Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits.<br> A. true<br> B. false
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:All planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focus. This is one of Kepler's laws. The elliptical shape of the orbit is a result of the inverse square force of gravity. The eccentricity of the ellipse is greatly exaggerated here.

so it is true

The force of magnitude F acts along the edge of the triangular plate. Determine the moment of F about point O. Find the general
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The moment is 81.102 k N-m in clockwise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 260 N

Side = 580 mm

Distance h = 370 mm

According to figure,

Position of each point

O=(0,0)

A=(0,-b)

B=(h,0)

We need to calculate the position vector of AB

\bar{AB}=(h-0)i+(0-(-b))j

\bar{AB}=hi+bj

We need to calculate the unit vector along AB

u_{AB}=\dfrac{\bar{AB}}{|\bar{AB}|}

u_{AB}=\dfrac{h\hat{i}+b\hat{j}}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}

We need to calculate the force acting along the edge

\hat{F}=F(u_{AB})

\hat{F}=F(\dfrac{h\hat{i}+b\hat{j}}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}})

We need to calculate the net moment

\hat{M}=\hat{F}\times OA

Put the value into the formula

\hat{M}=F(\dfrac{h\hat{i}+b\hat{j}}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}})\times(-b\hat{j})

\hat{M}=\dfrac{F}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}((h\hat{i}+b\hat{j})\times(-b\hat{j}))

\hat{M}=\dfrac{F}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}(-bh\hat{k})

\hat{M}=-\dfrac{bhF}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}

Put the value into the formula

\hat{M}=-\dfrac{580\times10^{-3}\times370\times10^{-3}\times260}{\sqrt{(370\times10^{-3})^2+(580\times10^{-3})^2}}

\hat{M}=-81.102\ \hat{k}\ N-m

Negative sign shows the moment is in clockwise.

Hence, The moment is 81.102 k N-m in clockwise.
