Why do comets have tails?

Mice21 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Combining solar radiation pressure and solar wind blows away gas and dust from the nucleus, to what we see as a tail, is really two tails: the ion tail and the dust tail

1.05 MEASURING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES LAB REPORT
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

<u>Objective(s): In your own words, what was the purpose of this lab? </u>

The purpose of this lab is to get us familiar with the physical properties of different types of materials that are used for building.

<u>Hypothesis: In this section, include the if/then statements you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment. </u>

If we use clay brick to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.

If we use wood to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.

If we use nickel to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.

If we use iron to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.

<u>Procedure: The materials and procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. However, you should note if you experienced any errors or other factors that might affect your outcome. </u>

<u>Using the summary questions, clearly define the dependent and independent variables of the experiment. </u>

<u>Data: Record the results of each of your physical property tests in the table below. </u>

Wood _  3/10 _0 _0.12 W/(m·K)  _0 S/m _ 4 g/cm3

Clay Brick _ 2/10 _1 _0.6 W/(m·K) _ 0 S/m _ 5.88235 g/cm3

Iron _ 4/10 _10 _80 W/(m·K)  _1x107 S/m  _9.09091 g/cm3

Aluminum_ 7/10 _ 0  _235 W/(m·K) _ 3.8x107 S/m _ 6.66667 g/cm3

Copper _ 6/10 _0 _400 W/(m·K)  _3.8x107 S/m  _9.52381 g/cm3

Nickel _ 5/10 _7 _ 91 W/(m·K)  _1.4x107 S/m  _9.43396 g/cm3

<u>Conclusion: Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please answer all questions in complete sentences using your own words. </u>

  1. Using two to three sentences, summarize what you investigated and observed in this lab.

In this, I investigated the effect that different types of physical properties had on six different materials. I also investigated which materials would be the best to build a house.  

     2. What building material did you use to build your house? Did your results support or fail to support your hypotheses?

For the roof of my house, I used clay bricks. For the walls and floors of the house, I used wood. To bring electricity into the home I used nickel. To construct the latches on the windows and doors, I used iron. My results supported my hypotheses because clay bricks and wood had the lowest thermal conductivity rates, nickel had the second highest electricity conductivity rate, and iron had the highest magnetism rate.    

      3. What were the densities of the materials you chose for the walls and floor for the home in Tiny World? Why do you think a building material's density is important when building homes or architectural structures?

The density of the material I chose for the walls and floors for the home in Tiny World was 4 g/cm3 (Wood). I think a buildings material density is important when building homes or architectural structures because in order for that structure to stay stable the materials that are used must be dense. If the materials are not dense, the structure would most likely collapse if it is placed under too much pressure.

      4. Why wouldn’t you choose wood or aluminum for the latches on your house?

I wouldn’t choose wood or aluminum for the latches on my house because neither of those two materials are magnetic.

    5. Which material has the highest thermal conductivity? Which material has the highest electrical conductivity? Explain why thermal and electrical conductivity is so high with this material.

Copper has the highest thermal conductivity. Aluminum and copper have the highest electrical conductivity. Thermal conductivity is high in copper because copper is a very thin type of material, and this allows heat to pass through it easily. Electric Conductivity is high in both aluminum and copper because they are both a very thin type of metal and because they are both so thin, electricity will pass through them quickly.

Plz help me it’s a true or false question A shorter wire will allow electricity to
mr Goodwill [35]

-- A shorter wire will allow electricity to  move through at a higher rate than a  longer wire . . . True, but "rate" is a poor way to say it. It should say "a higher current".  

-- A short, thick, cold wire is the best  conductor . . .  True

-- How well a material conducts current is an internal factor affecting resistance . . . True

-- If you double the length of a wire, you cut  the resistance in half . . . False. Double the length also means double the resistance.

-- If you double the thickness of a wire, you  cut the resistance in half . . . True

-- Superconductors have no measurable  resistance . . . True. They literally have NO resistance.

-- The higher the temperature of the  conductor, the lower the resistance . . . False. Higher temperature means higher resistance, for almost all conductors.

-- The resistance in a wire with less  thickness is less . . . False. We just said, up above  in Question-#5, "If you double the thickness of a wire, you  cut the resistance in half". Less thickness means more resistance. Just like a highway with fewer lanes.

-- Thickness, length, and temperature are  internal factors that affect resistance . . . False. They affect resistance, but they're external factors.

-- When a light is first switched on the light  bulb's filament has a lower resistance  than after it gives off light for awhile . . . True. Look back 3 questions from here, where it says "Higher temperature means higher resistance".
