C. copper

Explanation:

Copper is the best conductor of heat from the given options. Plastic, wood and cotton are all poor conductors other wise known as insulators.

Metals are typically good conductors of heat.

  • they generally do not have a high specific heat capacity which implies that they get heated easily.
  • a good conductor allows heat to flow fast and it simultaneously loses heat readily too.
  • copper is a good conductor, when heat its perfectly allows heat to pass through
  • when heat is removed, it loses it very fast.

A 65.0-kg woman steps off a 10.0-m diving platform and drops straight down into the water. 1) If she reaches a depth of 3.20 m,
timurjin [86]

Answer:

F=2627.6N

Explanation:

The work done by this resistive force while traveling a distance <em>d</em> underwater would be:

W=F.d=-Fd

where the minus sign appears because the force is upwards and the displacement downwards.

This work is equal to the change of mechanical energy. At the diving plataform and underwater, when she stops moving, the woman has no kinetic energy, so all can be written in terms of her total change of gravitational potential energy:

W=\Delta E=U_f-U_i=mgh_f-mgh_i=mg(h_f-h_i)

Putting all together:

F=-\frac{W}{d}=-\frac{mg(h_f-h_i)}{d}=-\frac{(65kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-3.2m-10m)}{3.2m}=2627.6N

A parallel plate capacitor fully charged to voltage V is connected to the battery (the voltage on the plates remains fixed). If
Papessa [141]

Charge will decreases.

A parallel plate capacitor when it is fully charged to voltage V is given as:

                    C = Q/V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with two plates of Area A separated by distance d and no dielectric material between plates is

                    C = ε₀ A /d

since from above equation it shows C is proportional to Q and also C is inversely proportional to distance d.

So, ATQ when d increases C will decrease which in result decreases charge on the capacitor.

Thus,  Charge will decrease.

A) 1.2-kg ball is hanging from the end of a rope. The rope hangs at an angle 20° from the vertical when a 19 m/s horizontal wind
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part a)

F_v = 4.28 N

Part B)

L = 1.02 m

Part C)

v = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that ball is hanging from the top and its angle with the vertical is 20 degree

so we will have

Tcos\theta = mg

T sin\theta = F_v

\frac{F_v}{mg} = tan\theta

F_v = mg tan\theta

F_v = 1.2\times 9.81 (tan20)

F_v = 4.28 N

Part B)

Here we can use energy theorem to find the distance that it will move

-\mu mg cos\theta L + mg sin\theta L = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2

(-(0.37)m(9.81) cos15 + m(9.81) sin15)L = - \frac{1}{2}m(1.4)^2

(-3.5 + 2.54)L = - 0.98

L = 1.02 m

Part C)

At terminal speed condition we know that

F_v = mg

bv^2 = mg

2.5 v^2 = 3.9

v = 1.25 m/s
