Answer: D. The empty space has no particles to transfer thermal energy.

Explanation: Thermal energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its temperature.

There are three modes of transfer of thermal energy

1.Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two objects.

2. Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

3. Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

As there is empty space between the two layers of glass , the thermal energy cannot be transferred by conduction and thus the beverage remains warm.

After initially picking the stone up off the ground, a man exerts a 148 N force upwards on a 10 kg stone. What is the accelerati
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object is calculated using the formula ;

F = ma

Note that the upward force (F) is 148N

Where;

F = force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

The downward force towards gravity is F' = mg

F' = 10 × 9.8m/s²

F' = 98N

Net force (F - F') = m × a

148 - 98 = 10 × a

50 = 10a

a = 50/10

a = 5m/s²

How does altitude, distance from the ocean, amount of sunlight, distance from the equator, and ocean currents affect polar clima
drek231 [11]
The altitude is usually low. Tropical places are mainly on the ocean, that's usually why it's so hot. They are usually close to the equator, but not right on it. The tropics get a lot of direct sunlight, so wear that sunscreen! The ocean currents are warm, so they bring along warm water. All of those help make the tropics the way they are.
