Wood doesn't get hot when it heats up, so number 3
Art [367]4 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.

Which describes how a turbine works to produce energy for electricity? A. Energy from various energy sources, such as wind or fr
OLEGan [10]
The answer is A. Energy from <span>various energy sources, such as wind or from burning fossil fuels, is used to spin the blades of the turbine. The turbine then powers a generator, which produces electricity.

Works on simple principle of the turbine blades translation of energy sources causing the mechanical spin of the blades which is connected to a rotor which spins the main shaft of generator thus producing electricity.</span>

ozzi

Answer:

The position of my house is a little uphill as compared to the position of my school. The distance I have to travel from my house to school is nearly 2 kilometers. The displacement is in the 2000 m towards the left from my house. The speed of the bus which I usually take is 40 km/ hour.

A skater of mass 60 kg has an initial velocity of 12 m/s. He slides on ice where the frictional force is 36 N. How far will the
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

d = 120 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. Where the energy in the final state (when the skater stops) is equal to the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work done on the skater in the initial state.

The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy.  As the track is horizontal there is no unevenness, in this way, there is no potential energy.

E₁ + W₁₋₂ = E₂

where:

E₁  = mechanical energy in the initial state [J] (units of Joules)

W₁₋₂ = work done between the states 1 and 2 [J]

E₂  = mechanical energy in the final state = 0

E₁ = Ek = kinetic energy [J]

E₁ = 0.5*m*v²

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

v = initial velocity = 12 [m/s]

Now, the work done is given by the product of the friction force by the distance. In this case, the work is negative because the friction force is acting in opposite direction to the movement of the skater.

W₁₋₂ = -f*d

where:

f = friction force = 36 [N]

d = distance [m]

Now we have:

0.5*m*v² - (f*d) = 0

0.5*60*(12)² - (36*d) = 0

4320 = 36*d

d = 120 [m]

A scientist completely dissolves gaseous oxygen into a container of liquid water. Which of the following best describes the cont
sdas [7]

Answer:

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think the answer is C.

Explanation:

I say this because liquid water is H20 (a combination of two elements) and Oxygen is a singular element. Compound is defined as a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements and thus, I think it's C.

In which reaction are the atoms of elements rearranged?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

D. Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water.

Explanation:

Hydrogen combining with oxygen to form water is a typical example of chemical reaction.

During a chemical reaction, atoms of elements are rearranged. Most chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass which states that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but atoms are simply rearranged".

The other choices given are nuclear reactions. In such reactions, atoms are not rearranged but are simply destroyed and made in the process.
