Heat energy is transferred from warmer objects to cooler objects.

Answer:

This question is not complete

Explanation:

There are three ways in which heat is transferred, they are

Conduction: Here, heat is transferred from a hot object to a cooler object when both objects come in contact with one another. Here, there must be a contact between the two bodies. This is so because, the particles of the hot objects have a higher kinetic energy than the cooler object, and when they come in contact with the cooler ones, they transfer these energy to the cooler ones. Metals are generally good conductors of heat.
Convection: Here, heat is transferred in a liquid or a gas. Hot liquids or gases transfer there heat when they come in contact with cooler ones. There must be contact in this case also. For example, when a kettle of water is boiled, the water at the base of the kettle passes heat energy to the water at the top of the kettle.
Radiation: This does not require physical contact but a substance receives heat energy as a result of thermal radiation. For example, the sun produces heat but does not need to touch the metals on earth before they absorb the heat from the sun. So, heat is transferred without a medium or through open space here.

Absolute pressure in tank is P1 = 260 kPa and local ambient absolute pressure is P2 =100 kPa. If liquid density in pipe is 13600

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

1.176m

Explanation:

Local ambient pressure(P1) = 100 kPa

Absolute pressure(P2)=260kPa

Net pressure=absolute pressure-local ambient absolute pressure

Net pressure=P1(absolute pressure)-P2(local ambient absolute pressure)

Net pressure=260-100=160kPa

Pressure= ρgh

160kPa=13600*10*h

h= $\frac{160000}{136000}$

h=1.176m

2. A 2kg body attached to a spring undergoes a SHM of amplitude 0.4m and period

Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) 12.8 N

b) 3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

I'm guessing the period is 0.5π s.

Period of a spring in simple harmonic motion is:

T = 2π √(m/k)

Given T = 0.5π and m = 2 kg:

0.5π = 2π √(2/k)

0.25 = √(2/k)

0.0625 = 2/k

k = 32

The spring constant is 32 N/m, and the maximum displacement is 0.4 m. The maximum force can be found with Hooke's law:

F = kx

F = (32 N/m) (0.4 m)

F = 12.8 N

The acceleration can be found with Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

kx = ma

(32 N/m) (0.2 m) = (2 kg) a

a = 3.2 m/s²

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}$

where kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), mass in kilograms (kg), and velocity in meters per second (m/s).

The work (W) of this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the kinetic energy of the particle:

$W=\frac{1}{2} *m*v2^{2}-\frac{1}{2} *m*v1^{2}$

$W=\frac{1}{2} *m*(v2^{2}-v1^{2})$

In this case:

W=?
m= 2,145 kg
v2= 12 $\frac{m}{s}$

v1= 25 $\frac{m}{s}$

Replacing:

$W=\frac{1}{2} *2145 kg*((12\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(25\frac{m}{s} )^{2})$

W= -515,872.5 J

The work required is -515,872.5 J

If an airplane were traveling eastward with a thrust force 450 N and there was a tailwind of 200 N, what would the resulting net

Alika [10]

The resulting net force is 650N

Explanation:

The force caused by air resistance against the plane's motion is called the Drag force. It acts against the motion of the plane. However, tailwinds push the plane from its tail and they apply a force is the direction of the moving plane.

The resulting force is the sum of the two forces; 450N +200N = 650N

Suppose that a conducting sphere is charged positively by some method. The charge is initially deposited on the left side of the

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

electrons will migrate untill there is uniform distribution of charge .

and sphere became uniformly charged

Explanation:

as conducting sphere is charged positively it is given . the left side of sphere is charged positively . there is negative charge on the left side that will be attracted by positive charge of right side .

therefore electrons from left side will start migrate towards right side due to attraction of positive charge of right side .

therefore electron will start migrate uniformly .

electrons will migrate untill there is uniform distribution of charge .

and sphere became uniformly charged
