Answer:

conduction

Explanation:

Conduction is a method of heat transfer, where two objects exchange heat by touching, but does not contribute to moving heat through earth's atmosphere, because the atmosphere is so sparse it does not transmit heat through conduction effectively. Insulation is not a method of heat transfer.

A vertical spring with stiffness k originally is at rest with no mass attached. Then, a mass M is attached, and the spring rocks
Alina [70]

Answer:

The position of the spring in terms of g, m & k is x = \frac{m g}{k}

Explanation:

Stiffness of the spring = k

Mass = m

When a mass m is attached with the spring then spring stretched. in that case the force exerted on the spring is equal to weight of the mass attached.

⇒ Force exerted on the spring F = k x

⇒ m g = k x

⇒ x = \frac{m g}{k}

This is the position of the spring in terms of g, m & k.

What adaptation does a wood frog have that enable it to survive in deciduous forest ?
sweet [91]

Wood frogs have this adaptation where they accumulate urea in their bodies and convert their liver glycogen to glucose to act as cryoprotectants. This prevents the formation of ice crystals in their bodies that could cause damage cells during freezing in winter.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2

A student makes a short electromagnet by winding 300 turns of wire around a wooden cylinder of diameter d 5.0 cm. The coil is co
kupik [55]

Answer:

A) μ = A.m²

B) z = 0.46m

Explanation:

A) Magnetic dipole moment of a coil is given by; μ = NIA

Where;

N is number of turns of coil

I is current in wire

A is area

We are given

N = 300 turns; I = 4A ; d =5cm = 0.05m

Area = πd²/4 = π(0.05)²/4 = 0.001963

So,

μ = 300 x 4 x 0.001963 = 2.36 A.m².

B) The magnetic field at a distance z along the coils perpendicular central axis is parallel to the axis and is given by;

B = (μ_o•μ)/(2π•z³)

Let's make z the subject ;

z = [(μ_o•μ)/(2π•B)] ^(⅓)

Where u_o is vacuum permiability with a value of 4π x 10^(-7) H

Also, B = 5 mT = 5 x 10^(-6) T

Thus,

z = [ (4π x 10^(-7)•2.36)/(2π•5 x 10^(-6))]^(⅓)

Solving this gives; z = 0.46m =

"A ball with a mass of 0.1 kg is rolling at a velocity of 5 m/s. What is its
Mumz [18]

Answer:

velocity

Explanation:

because the si unit of mass is kg, velocity is m/s, acceleration is m/S2 , moment is kgm2/s . so 5 is given as velocity.
