How does heat conduction work

2 answers:

Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the movement of heat from one solid to another one that has different temperature when they are touching each other. For example, we can warm our hands by touching hot-water bottles. When the cold hands touch the hot-water bottle, heat flows from the hotter object (hot-water bottle) to the colder one (hand).

Other ways to transfer heat are by thermal radiation and/or convection. Usually more than one of these processes happen at the same time.

Heat energy can move through a substance by conduction. Metals are good conductors of heat, but non-metals and gases are usually poor conductors of heat. Poor conductors of heat are called insulators. Heat energy is conducted from the hot end of an object to the cold end.

Who discovered the basic laws of planetary orbits?.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

kepler

Explanation:

While Copernicus rightly observed that the planets revolve around the Sun, it was Kepler who correctly defined their orbits. At the age of 27, Kepler became the assistant of a wealthy astronomer, Tycho Brahe, who asked him to define the orbital mars

A block of mass m 5.00 kg is

vekshin1

<span>a.
the force in the direction of movement
Fx = F x cosA*
Fx = 12 x cos25*
Fx = 10.88
m x a = 10.88
a = 10.88/5
a= 2.18 m/s^2
b.
when the block will be lifted off the floor and when the vertical component
Fy = mg
Fy = F x sin25*
Fy= 5 x 9.8
Fy= 115.94 N
c.
if Fx = ma
a = 115.94/5
a= 23.19 m/s^2

In the photo, a locomotive has broken through the wall of a train station. During the collision, what can be said about the forc

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Whether the force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was larger

Than the force the locomotive could exert on the wall.

Explanation:

The Newton's third law of motion States that every force have it's equal and opposite reaction force, whose magnitude is the same as the applied force. Therefore the magnitude of these opposite forces will be equal.

So we have;

F12=-F21

F12 is the force in a direction

-F21 is the force in the opposite direction.

Therefore we see that the magnitude of the force the locomotive exerts on the wall is equal to the one the wall exerts on the locomotive. Both magnitudes are equal but in opposite directions.

False because currents do not flow easily through insulators. If it only said conductors, then it would be true.
