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.

What does it mean to say that a wave is a cyclic, or periodic, disturbance
Ivenika [448]

Wave is a disturbance or energy that propagate through medium from one point to other point

So basically it is a flowing energy that flows into the medium and hence medium particles start oscillating about their mean position to and fro.

This motion of medium particles or this to and fro motion is about their mean position and this will always be cyclic or periodic motion

This means the disturbance or energy continuously flow through the medium such that it will change the position of medium particle and this will be cyclic in order

For an example

y = A sin(\omega t + kx + \phi)

so here above equation of wave is a travelling wave in which displacement of medium particle from its mean position is given by "y"

Now we can see that this disturbance depends upon the sine function and it will repeat its same position after every 2 pi time interval as it is cyclic function for this value

Due to this phenomenon of repeatation of its same position we can say that it is disturbance of wave is cyclic.

A spider begins to spin a web by first hanging from a ceiling by his fine, silk fiber. He has a mass of 0.025 kg and a charge of
Rasek [7]

Answer:

a) (5.59 × 10³) N/C

b) 0.226 N directed away from the spider.

Explanation:

a) Electric field, E, felt as a result of point charge, Q, at a distance, d away is given by

E = kQ/d²

So, magnitude of the electric field due to the charge on the second spider at the position of the first spider

Q = 4.2 µC = 4.2 × 10⁻⁶ C

k = Coulomb's constant = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C

d = 2.6 m

E = (8.99 × 10⁹ × 4.2 × 10⁻⁶)/2.6²

E = 5.59 × 10³ N/C

b) Tension in the silk fiber above the spider is the net force due to the weight of spider one and the force of repulsion due the two charges.

Force due to the two charges = Eq

where q now represents the charge of the first spider at the first point, feeling the electric field calculated in (a)

F = 5.59 × 10³ × 3.4 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.01901 N directed upwards. (That is, F = + 0.019 N)

Weight of the spider = mg = 0.025 × 9.8 = 0.245 N directed downwards. (That is, W = -0.245 N)

Net force, T = mg - F = 0.245 - 0.019 = 0.226 N (that is, 0.226 N, directed upwards, away from the spider).
