All metal atoms have mobile electrons, making them good conductors of heat. Heat is transferred as the free electons at the end that's being heated, rapidly move from atom to atom in the metallic bonds. This rapid movement of electrons allows for the transfer of heat energy from one end of the rod to the other.

When you float an ice cube in water, you notice that 90% of it is submerged beneath the surface. Now suppose you put the same ic
Gwar [14]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

90% of the body is submerged in water.

Now it is immersed in an unknown liquid whose density is less than the density of water.

Buoyant force acting on the body depends on the volume immersed, density of liquid and gravity.

As the density of liquid is less than the density of water, so the buoyant force acting on the body by the unknown liquid is less than water. So it is submerged less than 90% in this liquid.

An object is moving north with an initial velocity of 14 m/s accelerates 5m/s for 20 seconds. What is the final velocity of the
olga2289 [7]

Use the kinematic equation: Vf=Vi+at

Then plug;

Vi=14 m/s

a=5 m/s²

t=20 s. Therefore;

Vf=14+(5*20)

Vf=114 m/s.

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

  • Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
  • Angle of inclination of the slope = \theta\ =\ 12^o
  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
  • Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt

Part (c)

  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 2.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 225\ Watt

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.
