Answer:

Objective(s): In your own words, what was the purpose of this lab?

The purpose of this lab is to get us familiar with the physical properties of different types of materials that are used for building.

Hypothesis: In this section, include the if/then statements you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.

If we use clay brick to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.

If we use wood to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.

If we use nickel to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.

If we use iron to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.

Procedure: The materials and procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. However, you should note if you experienced any errors or other factors that might affect your outcome.

Using the summary questions, clearly define the dependent and independent variables of the experiment.

Data: Record the results of each of your physical property tests in the table below.

Wood _ 3/10 _0 _0.12 W/(m·K) _0 S/m _ 4 g/cm3

Clay Brick _ 2/10 _1 _0.6 W/(m·K) _ 0 S/m _ 5.88235 g/cm3

Iron _ 4/10 _10 _80 W/(m·K) _1x107 S/m _9.09091 g/cm3

Aluminum_ 7/10 _ 0 _235 W/(m·K) _ 3.8x107 S/m _ 6.66667 g/cm3

Copper _ 6/10 _0 _400 W/(m·K) _3.8x107 S/m _9.52381 g/cm3

Nickel _ 5/10 _7 _ 91 W/(m·K) _1.4x107 S/m _9.43396 g/cm3

Conclusion: Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please answer all questions in complete sentences using your own words.

Using two to three sentences, summarize what you investigated and observed in this lab.

In this, I investigated the effect that different types of physical properties had on six different materials. I also investigated which materials would be the best to build a house.

2. What building material did you use to build your house? Did your results support or fail to support your hypotheses?

For the roof of my house, I used clay bricks. For the walls and floors of the house, I used wood. To bring electricity into the home I used nickel. To construct the latches on the windows and doors, I used iron. My results supported my hypotheses because clay bricks and wood had the lowest thermal conductivity rates, nickel had the second highest electricity conductivity rate, and iron had the highest magnetism rate.

3. What were the densities of the materials you chose for the walls and floor for the home in Tiny World? Why do you think a building material's density is important when building homes or architectural structures?

The density of the material I chose for the walls and floors for the home in Tiny World was 4 g/cm3 (Wood). I think a buildings material density is important when building homes or architectural structures because in order for that structure to stay stable the materials that are used must be dense. If the materials are not dense, the structure would most likely collapse if it is placed under too much pressure.

4. Why wouldn’t you choose wood or aluminum for the latches on your house?

I wouldn’t choose wood or aluminum for the latches on my house because neither of those two materials are magnetic.

5. Which material has the highest thermal conductivity? Which material has the highest electrical conductivity? Explain why thermal and electrical conductivity is so high with this material.

Copper has the highest thermal conductivity. Aluminum and copper have the highest electrical conductivity. Thermal conductivity is high in copper because copper is a very thin type of material, and this allows heat to pass through it easily. Electric Conductivity is high in both aluminum and copper because they are both a very thin type of metal and because they are both so thin, electricity will pass through them quickly.

I'm sorry if any of the answers are wrong, this was just assigned to me and my teacher hasn't graded it yet.

Two charged particles separated by a distance of = 3 and experienced electrostatic forces of = 60 . What would be this force if

klemol [59]

Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

$F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{E}=60 N$ is the electrostatic force

$K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are the electric charges

$d=3 m$ is the separation distance between the charges

Then:

$60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}}$ (2)

Isolating $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ :

$q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2}$ (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to $d_{1}=1 m$ , (1) is rewritten as:

$F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}}$ (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

$F_{E}= 539.4 N$ (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

Allen and Jason are chucking a speaker around. On one particular throw, Allen throws the speaker, which is playing a pure tone o

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect of sound .

speaker is the source , Jason is the observer . Source is moving at 10 m /s , observer is moving at 6 m/s .

apparent frequency = $f_o\times\frac{V+v_o}{ V-v_s}$

V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source and f_o is real frequency of source .

Here V = 340 m/s , v₀ is 6 m/s , v_s is 10 m/s . f_o = f

apparent frequency = $f\times \frac{340+6}{340-10}$

= $f\times \frac{346}{330}$

So m = 346 , n = 330 .

What can be broken down into tiny fundamental subatomic particles?

Nana76 [90]

The correct answer is matter. Matter is a physical substance, so it is that only option provided that can be broken down to the subatomic particle level.
