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.

A pendulum takes 10 seconds to swing through 2 complete cycles what is it’s period and frequency

Orlov [11]

its period should be the amount it takes to cycle from cycle to cycle so it would be 10 and your frequency would have to be calculated by taking 10 and dividing by 2 since that is how many cycles you have done so your frequency is 5

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

$D\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, D = width of slit

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Here, $\sin\theta$ should be maximum.

So. maximum value of $\sin\theta$ is 1

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=\lambda$

(b). If the minimum number is 50

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=50\lambda$

(c). If the minimum number is 1000

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=1000\lambda$

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Electricity costs 6 cents per kilowatt hour. In one month one home uses one megawatt hour of electricity. How much will the elec

Luda [366]

Answer:

Cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6000 cents

Explanation:

Given that

Electricity cost is 6 cents per kilowatt hour.

And we have to found out the cost for one megawatt hour

We know that

1 kilowatt = 1000 watt

1 megawatt = = 1000000 watt

1 megawatt = 1000 kilowatt

1 megawatt hour = 1000 kilowatt hour

Given that cost of 1 kilowatt hour = 6 cents

So the cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6 x 1000 cents

Cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6000 cents

A ship sets out to sail to a point 120 km due north. an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 100 km due east of its starti

Pavel [41]

If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:

d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km

So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.
