Explain,in terms of particles,how heat is transferred through the glass wall of a boiling tube

Physics
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
4 0
Considering the great topic of thermodynamics (assuming normal atmospheric pressure):

Keep in mind that hotness (temperature) and heat are related but not the same thing. Each time water goes from one state to another, it requires the gain or loss of heat. 
In this case the boiling water is gaining heat, the water molecules are vibrating faster with more kinetic energy (energy of motion). The (heat) energy is transferred by the rapid movement of particles colliding with other particles.

4. A trolley of mass 2kg rests next to a trolley of mass 3 kg on a flat
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

A diagnostic sonogram produces a picture of internal organs by passing ultrasound through the tissue. In one application, it is
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1) \lambda = 11\times 10^{-4} m

2)2.51\times 10^9 Pa

Explanation:

Given data:

speed of sound v  = 1540 m/s

frequency f  = 1.40 MHz = 1.40 \times 10^6 Hz

density \rho = 1060 kg/m^3

1) we know that

v = f\lambda

\lambda = \frac[v}{f} = \frac{1540}{1.40\times 10^6}

\lambda = 11\times 10^{-4} m

2) we know that

v= \sqrt{\frac{modulus}{density}}

v^2 = \frac{\gamma}{\rho}

\gamma = v^2 \rho

\gamma = 1540^2 \times 1060 = 2.51 \times 10^9 Pa

A cat with a mass of 4.50 kilograms sits on a ledge 0.800 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the cat? 346
Gennadij [26K]
This is a question about converting energy from one form to another. 

<span>While it is sitting on the ledge, it isn't moving, so at that point it doesn't have any kinetic energy. What it has is gravitational potential energy due to its height above the ground. </span>

<span>Just as it lands, it's at ground level, so it doesn't have any gravitational potential energy anymore. </span>

<span>The reason is that on the way down, it sped up, so all its original gravitational potential energy was turned into kinetic energy. </span>

<span>So if you can work out how much potential energy it had to start with, you will know that that is how much kinetic energy it ended up with just before it landed. </span>

<span>potential energy = m * g * h </span>
<span>where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height </span>

potential energy = 4.45 * 9.81 * 0.800 = 35.3 J 
Hope that helps. Please give me Brainlyest answer. :]

A force of 40N is applied to a 28 g mass, what is the acceleration? (round to the hundredths place)
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

1428.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied on the body  = 40N

Mass of the body  = 28g

                    1000g  = 1kg

                      28g will therefore be 0.028kg

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression derived from Newton's second law of motion.

         Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

            40  = 0.028 x acceleration

           Acceleration  = \frac{40}{0.028}   = 1428.6m/s²

How do mechanical and electromagnetic waves differ?
Gala2k [10]

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.
