Heat flows from one object to another by conduction, convection or radiation, depending on the physical state of the medium through which it must flow. Heat always flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature. Without a temperature difference, there can be no heat flow.

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect

nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Two blocks in contact with each other are pushed to the right across a rough horizontal surface by the two forces shown. If the

ale4655 [162]

I assume the blocks are pushed together at constant speed, and it's not so important but I'll also assume it's the smaller block being pushed up against the larger one. (The opposite arrangement works out much the same way.)

Consider the forces acting on either block. Let the direction in which the blocks are being pushed by the positive direction.

The 2.0-kg block feels

• the downward pull of its own weight, (2.0 kg) g

• the upward normal force of the surface, magnitude n₁

• kinetic friction, mag. f₁ = 0.30n₁, pointing in the negative horizontal direction

• the contact force of the larger block, mag. c₁, also pointing in the negative horizontal direction

• the applied force, mag. F, pointing in the positive horizontal direction

Meanwhile the 3.0-kg block feels

• its own weight, (3.0 kg) g, pointing downward

• normal force, mag. n₂, pointing upward

• kinetic friction, mag. f₂ = 0.30n₂, pointing in the negative horizontal direction

• contact force from the smaller block, mag. c₂, pointing in the positive horizontal direction (this is the force that is causing the larger block to move)

Notice the contact forces form an action-reaction pair, so that c₁ = c₂, so we only need to find one of these, and we can get it right away from the net forces acting on the 3.0-kg block in the vertical and horizontal directions:

• net vertical force:

n₂ - (3.0 kg) g = 0 ==> n₂ = (3.0 kg) g ==> f₂ = 0.30 (3.0 kg) g

• net horizontal force:

c₂ - f₂ = 0 ==> c₂ = 0.30 (3.0 kg) g ≈ 8.8 N

A 45-year-old man is meeting his doctor for his annual physical. He suffers from Type 2 diabetes and has a family history of cor

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The man is on the verge of having a heart attack or a stroke.

Explanation:

If he has a family history of coronary (heart) disease, it means it could normally affect. Normally here means without anything aggravating it. It's already in his lineage so he could have it.

Now, he's past middle age - he's 45. He's past the growing stages of life. His organs are fully developed herefore.

Now also, he suffers from Type 2 diabetes. Although this is sometimes milder than Type 1 diabetes, it increases the risk of having a heart disease or a stroke!

Soda, especially sweetened one, is not to be taken too often because it can cause Diabetes Mellitus. For a diabetes patient, this should be a "no-go-area". Taking this constantly (everyday at work) will now put this 45-year-old man in harm's way.

He is no more at risk of having complications but already on the path to a heart disease or a stroke.

Solve the problem using dimensional analysis. Every number must have a unit. Work must be shown. Conversion factors are in the t

anygoal [31]

The number of grams of gold you can purchase for $15 if Gold cost $8.00 per ounce is 53.26g

Dimensional analysis is a means of representing values using units.

From the question, we are told that Gold cost $8.00 per ounce, this means that:

$8.00 = 1 ounce

In order to calculate the amount in grams you can purchase for $15, we need to know the price in ounces first.

$15.00 = x

Divide both expressions

$\dfrac{8}{15} = \dfrac{1}{x}\\x = \dfrac{15}{8}\\x= 1.875 ounces$

Next is to convert the ounces to pounds.

1 pound = 16 ounces

y = 1.875 ounces

y = 1.875/16

y = 0.1171875 pounds

Conver 0.1171875 pounds to kg

Since 1kg = 2.2 pounds

z = 0.1171875 pounds

2.2z = 0.1171875

z = 0.1171875/2.2

z = 0.053267kg

Finally, convert 0.053267kg to grams using the conversion rate

1kg = 1000g

0.053267kg = y

y = 0.05326 * 1000

y = 53.26g

This shows that the amount of grams you can purchase for $15 is 53.26g
