how could the specific heat of the substance your container will hold affect the performance of the container?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

I am not entirely sure, but I hope this helps ;)

Heat transfers from a very hot body always, and into a colder body. This is due to the change in temperatures at which the two bodies exist, and also it depends upon its magnitude. And, the heat exchange stop once both the bodies attain same temperature.

And from the relation of heat equation, we get that it is directly proportionate to the substance's specific heat. But, there is no such thing that the area of contact is important, for heat transfer. It gets transferred although a small point is in contact.

Bone has a Young’s modulus of about
Softa [21]

Answer:

4.25 mm

Explanation:

σ = E ∙ ∆L/L₀

where σ is stress,

E is Young's modulus,

and ∆L/L₀ is strain (∆L is the deflection, L₀ is the initial length).

Plugging in values:

1.53×10⁸ Pa = (1.8×10¹⁰ Pa) ∆L / (500 mm)

∆L = 4.25 mm

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

A heavy steel cable attached to a motor is lifting a girder. The girder is speeding up.
Yanka [14]

Answer: part a) both the tension and gravity vectors will be pointing downwards.

part b) the tension vector will be pointing upwards and the gravity will be pointing downwards.

Explanation:

part a) Since you are looking at the FBD for the steel cable here, the tension will be pointing downwards because the girder is hung from the cable which creates a downwards tension. Gravity will always point downwards, to the ground.

part b) Since you are looking at the FBD for the girder here, the tension will be pulled upwards because the cable is weighted which creates an upwards tension. Gravity will always point downwards, to the ground.

Sorry for the poor explanation, but hopefully this makes sense.
