How they work is that they help keep the heat in and cool air out.

The heat is transferred to one material to another, however insulators minimize that transfer, keeping it in the area, warming it.

The speed of light is about 3.00 × 105 km/s. It takes approximately 1.28 seconds for light reflected from the
Ulleksa [173]
Just to correct you - the speed of light is 3.0 x 10^5 km/sec and not 105 km/sec as given by you (maybe it was just a typing mistake from your end).

The average distance between earth and moon would be - 384,000 kms. 

This is calculated by the formula -> Distance = Speed x Time.

An industrial firm has two electrical loads connected in parallel across the power source. Power is supplied to the firm at 4000
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

I = 27.65A < 40.59°

PowerFactor = 0.76

Explanation:

Current on the heating load is:

I1 = 30KW / 4KV = 7.5A < 0°

Current on the inductive load:

I2 = (150KVA*0.6) /4KV = 22.5A  with an angle of acos(0.6)=53.1°

The sum of both currents is:

It = I1 + I2 = 7.5<0° + 22.5<53.1° = 27.65<40.59°

Now, the power factor will be:

pf = cos (40.59°) = 0.76

Myopia is a condition of the eye where the crystalline lens focuses the light rays to a position between the lens and the retina
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: concave lens

Explanation:

Myopia is a condition of the eye where someone can only see near distant object clearly but not far distant object.

Myopia is corrected using concave lens (diverging) in order to diverge the rays entering the eye thereby allowing the rays to be focused properly on the retina.

A 4.30 g bullet moving at 943 m/s strikes a 730 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(a)2.7 m/s

(b) 5.52 m/s

Explanation:

The total of the system would be conserved as no external force is acting on it.

Initial momentum = final momentum

⇒(4.30 g × 943 m/s) + (730 g × 0) = (4.30 g × 484 m/s) + (730 g × v)

⇒ 730 ×v = (4054.9 - 2081.2) =1973.7

⇒v=2.7 m/s

Thus, the resulting speed of the block is 2.7 m/s.

(b) since, the momentum is conserved, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass would be constant.

V_{COM} = \frac{m_b}{m_b+m_{bl}}v_{bi}=\frac{4.30}{4.30+730}\times 943 m/s = 5.52 m/s

Thus, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass is 5.52 m/s.
