when a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt, why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?

1 answer:

3 0

I think the answer to your question is that:
There is chemical energy being produced (by the water) and that causes the base of iron to absorb the heat. Then when the heated base of the iron is placed onto the shirt, the heat flattens the wrinkles on it.

Explain the benefits of understanding sound waves properties in real life.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The vibrations from sound waves cause our ears to send signals to our brains to create sound. The speed of sound waves will determine the sound's pitch, or how high or low something sounds. Sound waves are important because they allow us to hear important messages and emergency signals to protect ourselves.

The average mass of a car in the US is 1.440 x 10^6 g. Express this mass in kg.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Average mass of acar in the US (in kg) = 1440 kg

Explanation:

Average mass of a car in the US (in g) = 1.440 × 10⁶ g

Mass in kg:

$\rm 1 \: g = {10}^{ - 3} \: kg \\ \\ \rm 1.440 \times 10^6 \ g = 1.440 \times 10^6 \times {10}^{ - 3} \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1.440 \times 10^{6 - 3} \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1.440 \times 10^3 \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1.440 \times 1000 \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1440 \ kg$

A hummingbird flies forward and backward. Its motion is shown on the above graph of horizontal Position and

harina [27]

Answer:

The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A hummingbird flies forward and backward.

According to figure,

We know that,

The total distance is equal to the sum of all distance.

Forward direction is positive and backward direction is negative.

We need to calculate the hummingbird travels the total distance

Using figure,

$D=d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3}+d_{4}$

Put the value into the formula

$D=6+(-4)+2+6$

$D=10\ m$

Hence, The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m.

A car generates 2,552 N and weighs 2,250 pounds. what is the rate of acceleration

Lilit [14]

Ans: a = 2.50 m/s^2

Explanation:
First convert the mass in its standard unit i.e. kilogram(kg):
2250 lbs = 1020.583kg

Next use Newton's Second law:
F = ma

Where F = 2552N
m = 1020.583kg

=> a = (2552/1020.583)
a = 2.50 m/s^2
