Why vacuum flask is known as thermos flak?

Physics
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
8 0

The flask was later developed using new materials such as glass and aluminum; however, Dewar refused to patent his invention. ... The name later became a genericized trademark after the term "thermos" became the household name for such a vacuum-insulated container for liquids.

An electron is moving through an (almost) empty universe at a speed of 628 km,/s toward the only other object in the universe —
sattari [20]

Answer:

  r = 2,026 10⁹ m  and   T = 2.027 10⁴ s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

where the force is electric

        F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Acceleration is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

        k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} = m \frac{v^2}{r}

        r = k \frac{q_1q_2}{m \  v^2}          (1)

let's look for the charge in the insulating sphere

          ρ = q₂ / V

          q₂ = ρ V

the volume of the sphere is

         v = 4/3 π r³

we substitute

        q₂ = ρ \frac{4}{3} π r³

        q₂ = 3 10⁻⁹ \frac{4}{3} π 4³

        q₂ = 8.04 10⁻⁷ C

let's calculate the radius with equation 1

        r = 9 10⁹  1.6 10⁻¹⁹  8.04 10⁻⁷ /(9.1  10⁻³¹ 628 10³)

        r = 2,026 10⁹ m

this is the radius of the electron orbit around the charged sphere.

Since the orbit is circulating, the speed (speed modulus) is constant, we can use the uniform motion ratio

        v = x / t

the distance traveled in a circle is

        x = 2π r

In this case, time is the period

        v = 2π r /T

        T = 2π r /v

let's calculate

        T = 2π 2,026 10⁹/628 103

        T = 2.027 10⁴ s

A sailboat moves north for a distance of 10.00 km when blown by a wind from the exact southeast with a force of 2.00 × 10^4 N. T
vodomira [7]
Hey there,

Your question states: <span>A sailboat moves north for a distance of 10.00 km when blown by a wind from the exact southeast with a force of 2.00 × 10^4 N. The sailboat travels the distance in 1.0 h. How much work was done by the wind? What was the wind’s power? Your response should include all of your work and a free-body diagram

So by doing this, we do the force x</span>'s the work. 

P = e4*10

We would divide this by . . .

3600s

P = e4*10 ÷ 3600s

Your correct answer would be . . .

55.56w

Hope this helps.

Why does atmospheric blurring cause objects with smaller true angular diameters to have larger percent errors
Firdavs [7]

The atmospheric blurring can negatively affect the view of objects and requires a larger separation to distinguish forms. It is caused by turbulent air in motion.

<h3>What is atmospheric blurring?</h3>

The atmospheric blurring is a natural phenomenon caused by turbulent air in motion, which negatively affects the view of astronomical objects.

The atmospheric blurring may lead to larger percent errors in objects with smaller angular diameters because in these cases it is required a larger separation to distinguish forms.

Smaller angular diameters produce larger squared visibility, thereby increasing the effects of distortion caused by atmospheric blurring.
