Answer:

$a_{c}= 4.44\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

When an object goes on a circular movement, it has a centripetal acceleration that always points toward the center of the circle, it is the responsible of the change of direction in the movement of the object. and that centripetal acceleration is related with the speed in the next way:

$a_{c}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}$ , with v the speed, r the radius of the track that is half of the diameter (22.5 m)

$a_{c}=\frac{10^{2}}{22.5}$

$a_{c}= 4.44\frac{m}{s}$

Suppose you have two solid bars, both with square cross-sections of 1 cm2. They are both 24.6 cm long, but one is made of copper

vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

Expression to calculate thermal resistance for iron ( $R_{I}$ ) is as follows.

$R_{I} = \frac{L_{I}}{k_{I} \times A_{I}}$

where, $L_{I}$ = length of the iron bar

$k_{I}$ = thermal conductivity of iron

$A_{I}$ = Area of cross-section for the iron bar

Thermal resistance for copper ( $R_{c}$ ) = \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c} \times A_{c}}[/tex]

where, $L_{c}$ = length of copper bar

$k_{c}$ = thermal conductivity of copper

$A_{c}$ = Area of cross-section for the copper bar

Now, expression for the transfer of heat per unit cell is as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o}}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

= $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{21 \times 10^{-2} m[\frac{1}{73 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}} + \frac{1}{386 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}}}$

= 2.92 Joule

It is known that heat transfer per unit time is equal to the power conducted through the rod. Hence,

P = $\frac{Q}{T}$

Here, T is 1 second so, power conducted is equal to heat transferred.

So, P = 2.92 watt

Thus, we can conclude that 2.92 watt power will be conducted through the rod when it reaches steady state.

What are the three ways of answering a scientific question

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Let's start by understanding what exactly a scientific question is. A scientific question is a question that may lead to a hypothesis and help us in answering (or figuring out) the reason for some observation. A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable.

Here's examples of a few:

Why is that a star?

What is that star made of?

Hope this can lead you to the answer you're looking for at least!!

Physicist Max Planck showed how objects like stars give off different colors based on their temperature. What color are the hott

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

the brightest found are Blue - White with

Explanation:

The energy emission of objects increases with their temperature, specifically Wien described the process in an expression

$\lambda_{maximum}$ T = 2,898 10⁻³

With this expression we can find the temperature of the stars by the color they emit.

Specifically the Sun has a color of 550 nm which corresponds to 5400K

bright stars have a BLUE color corresponding to 7500K

the brightest found are Blue - White with a temperature of 20000K

If you increase the amount of spinach you eat, then you will increase the iron in your blood. What's the dependent variable?

Solnce55 [7]

The dependent variable is the iron in your blood because it depends on the amount of spinach you eat. The independent variable will be the amount of spinach you eat since it doesn’t depend on the iron for anything.

Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.

Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.
