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.

The distance covered is simply the length of the entire trip, which is 12m + 16m, or 28m.

The displacement is the distance from the starting point to the ending point along with the direction of the net motion. The dog walks 12m east then 16m west, so its resultant displacement is 4m west.

Convert 1 mm to meters using scientific notation. Include units in your answer.
irinina [24]

Answer: The answer in scientific notation with the unit included is (1 × 10^-3m.)

Explanation:

In the field of physics, when working with too large or too small numbers, such can be expressed with the use of scientific notation. This helps to eliminate huge or ambiguous numbers with significant units. It is written is such a way that the first number is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 which is then multiplied by a factor of 10.

Units are symbols that are used to represent a measurement For example the unit of meters is (m).

Converting 1mm to m:

1000millimeters = 1meter

1 millimetre = X

Making X the subject of formula,

X = 1 ×1 /1000

X = 0.001m

Therefore expressing X in scientific notation is

1 × 10^-3meter (m)

love history [14]

Answer:

625 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = W/t.................... Equation 1

Where p = power, W = Work, t = time

But,

W = Force (F) × distance (d)

W = Fd........................ Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = Fd/t.................... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: F = 5000 N, d = 30 m, t = 4 munites = (4×60) seconds = 240 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (5000×30)/240

P = 625 Watt
