The vacuum layer is the better thermal insulator

Explanation:

Depending on how they conduct heat, materials can be classified into two types:

  • Thermal conductos: these are materials that are able to transfer heat efficiently. Examples of thermal conductors are metals in general: in fact, when you heat one side of a metal bar, the other end becomes hot very fast; this means that the heat has been transferred very quickly across the metal rod
  • Thermal insulators: these are materials that do not transfer heat well. In general, gases or rarefied substances are better insulators, because the particles are more spread apart, and therefore the heat (which is transferred by conduction through collisions between molecules) is transferred less efficiently, due to the large distance between the particles.

In this sense, vacuum is the best possible insulator. This is because vacuum contains no particles at all, so there cannot be transfer of heat by conduction (because there cannot be collisions between molecules), and therefore, vacuum is the best thermal insulator.

The intensity at a distance of 6 m from a source that is radiating equally in all directions is 6.0\times 10^{-10} W/m^2. What i
Sophie [7]

Answer:

P = 271 nW

Explanation:

  • If the source is radiating equally in all directions, it can be treated as a point source, so all points located at the same distance of the source, have the same intensity I, which is related to the power by the following expression:

       I = \frac{P}{A} =\frac{P}{4*\pi *r^{2} } (1)

  • Solving for P, we get:

       P = I*4*\pi *r^{2} = 6.0e-10 W/m2 * 4 * \pi *(6m)^{2} =271 nW (2)

Who performed classic experiments that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Meselson and Stahl

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

The classic experiment that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication was performed by Matthew Meselson and Franklin W. Stahl. In this model, the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This results in two DNA molecules with one original strand and one new strand. They used E. coli bacteria as a model system.

A point charge with charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.40 μC moves
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

W=0.94J

Explanation:

Electrostatic potential energy is the energy that results from the position of a charge in an electric field. Therefore, the work done to move a charge from point 1 to point 2 will be the change in electrostatic potential energy between point 1 and point 2.

This energy is given by:

U=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r}\\

So, the work done to move the chargue is:

W=U_1-U_2\\W=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_1}-\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_2}\\r_1=\sqrt{((0.155 m)^2+0 m)^2}=0.115m\\r_2=\sqrt{((0.245 m)^2+(0.270 m)^2}=0.365m\\W=K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})\\W=8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{c^2}(4.00*10^{-6}C)(4.40*10^{-6}C)(\frac{1}{0.115m}-\frac{1}{0.365})\\W=0.94J

The work is positive since the potential energy in 1 is greater than 2.

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)
AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.
