Physics

jeka57 [31]3 years ago

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The difference in temperature when per unit of heat flux is required by one unit of heat flux between a barrier of warmer and colder surface present in steady state condition is known as R-value.

Mathematically,       R-value = \frac{\text{Temperature difference}\times \text{Area}\times \text{Time}}{Heat loss}

Thermal resistance of insulating products or materials can be known with the help of R-value. As more is the r-value of a substance more will be its insulating power.

Therefore, we can conclude that insulating materials are rated by their r-value.

Why do radio waves have the lowest frequency of all the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
lara [203]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:  

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The energy of the radio waves photons is the lowest of all the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Also, E={h\times \nu}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

Thus, energy is directly proportional to the frequency. The radio waves have the lowest frequency.

If 36C ofcharge pass through a write in 4s current is it carrying?​
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The current flowing through the wire is 9 A.

Explanation:

Given;

quantity of charge passing through the wire, Q = 36 C

duration of the charge flow, t = 4 s

The current flowing through the wire is calculated as;

Q = It

I = Q / t

where;

I is the current flowing in the wire

I = 36/4

I = 9 A

Therefore, the current flowing through the wire is 9 A.

Why does the modern atomic theory used today represent the best explanation scientists have to offer?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

D: Scientists have not been successful in disproving the atomic theory.

Explanation:

This theory has had great implications in the understanding of nature at the microscopic level, from the first atomic model to the quantum model of the atom. All modern physics, chemistry and biochemistry are based on the theory that matter is composed of atoms of different elements. It has not been possible to disprove this theory or replace it with a better one.

A 1kg skateboard sits at the top of a ramp 20 fr off the ground . How much potential energy does it have ?
Finger [1]

Answer:

196J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of skateboard  = 1kg

Height off the ground  = 20m

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body above the ground.

It is mathematically expressed as:

      Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

     Potential energy  = 1 x 9.8 x 20  = 196J
