If you hold your hand over a pot of boiling water, it feels hot. Explain how the boiling water is transforming heat to your hand

I don't no if this helps but the body heat from your hand causes the liquid to boil, which in turn makes the liquid evaporate, turning it to gas. The expanding gas pushes the liquid upwards and when you release your hand, equilibrium is re-established.

Answer:

Conduction

Explanation:

The boiling heat is transforming heat to my hand through conduction. Conduction is a mode of heat transfer which is the transfer of heat from one body to another without any actual movement of the bodies. It does not occur in vacuum.

In conduction, heat is transferred from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature. This means that the temperature of the pot of boiling water is higher than that of the hand and as such heat will be transferred from the pot to the hand due to temperature gradient. Note that there is no need need for the bodies in question (pot and the hand) to move before the heat will be transferred.

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND GET 100 PONTS ALONG WITH BRAINLIEST

Answer:

To not exceed the 5,000 characters, see each answer with its explanation below.

Explanation:

Question 1.

A feather and a rock dropped at the same time from the same height would land at the same time when dropped by an astronaut on the moon.

The shape and mass of the feather that falls vertically down, through the air, cause the resistance of the air, that opposes the gravitational attraction of the Earth, to be considerably large, compared to the case of the rock.

This not negligible resistance of the air causes a drag on the feather that makes it fall more slowly than the rock.

Only on the moon, the almost absence of atmosphere (air) would cause the feather not to be dragged and, therefore, its acceleration will be the same as that of the rock, and both will fall with the same speed and land at the same time (there is a video in the internet that shows this experiment of the astronaut on the moon).

Question 2.

When the soccer ball is kicked, the action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out because the forces act on two different objects.

The third law of Newton, also known as the law of action and reaction, states that whenever an object experience a force (action force) from a second object, the first object will exert a force of equal size and opposite in direction (reaction force) over the second object.

Hence, the action and reaction forces act over distinct objects. The ball feels the action force (the kick) and the foot feels the reaction force from the ball; the forces do not cancel each other because they act on two different objects.

Question 3

An object is in projectile motion if it is thrown with a horizontal push.

The projectile motion is the combination of two motions: vertical motion and horizonal motion.

The vertical motion is ruled by the acceleration of gravity and will depend on both the inital vertical velocity and the acceleration of gravity.

The horizontal motion is ruled by the horizontal velocity. According with the inertia law (first law of Newton), in the absence of a horizontal force, only if the object departs with a horizontal velocity it will move horizontally.

Hence, an object can only be in projectile motion if it is thrown with a horizontal push.

Question 4

Acceleration of an object

increases as the force on the object increases.

decreases as the mass of the object increases.

is in the same direction as the force on the object.

All answers listed. ← correct answer

According to second law of Newton

$\vec{F}=m\times \vec{a}$

This is force equals mass time acceleration.

The force is a vector and the acceleration is a vector, then since mass is a positive scalar magnitude, both force and acceleration have the same direction.

Also, it is clear from the definition of force that it is proportional to both, the mass and the acceleration, then if either mass or acceleration increases (while the other remains equal) the force will increase, and if either mass or acceleration decreases (while the other remains constant) the force will decrease.

Hence, all the options are correct.

Question 5

The bowling ball will have more momentum because it has more mass.

Momentum, P, is the product of the mass (m) and the velocity (v).

$\vec{P}=m\times \vec{v}$

It is clear that the mass of the bowling ball is greater than the mass of the golf ball.

Hence, since they are moving at the same velocity, the product of the mass of the bowling ball times the velocity is greater than the product of the golf mass times the same velocity.

Question 6

An orbit is formed when an object is falling around another object, rather than into it.

An example of an object falling around another object is a rock falling in the Earth. The gravitaional pull of the Earth causes that the rock accelerates and falls vertically downward.

An example of an object falling around another object is a satellite around the Earth.

The Earth is continually pulling the satellite with vertical force and the inertia (initial velocity) of the satellite is causing it to move horizontally.

The combination of the gravitational force and the inertia cause the satellite to follow a projectile motion. When the satellite is to the correct distance it will not reach into the Earth but will continually move around the Earth following a circular path named orbit.

Question 7

When the force of gravity is matched by the force of air resistance, an object can reach terminal velocity (two word answer).

When the force of gravity matches the force of air resistance, the net force on the falling object is zero.

Hence, as per the second Law of Newton, force equals the product of the mass and the acceleration, the acceleration is also zero.

Zero acceleration means constant velocity.

That constant velocity is a limit or maximum for the velocity that an object can reach when falling and is called terminal velocity.

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a current flows through it. if this metal wire is now replaced wi

Nikitich [7]

The resistance of the cylindrical wire is $R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$ .

Here $R$ is the resistance, $l$ is the length of the wire and $A$ is the area of cross section. Since the wire is cylindrical $A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$ .

Comparing two wires,

$R_1=\frac{\rho_1 l}{A_1} \\ R_2=\frac{\rho_2 l}{A_2}$

Dividing the above 2 equations,

$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{\rho_1 }{\rho_2} \frac{A_2 }{A_1} \\ \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{\rho_1 }{\rho_2} \frac{d_2^2 }{d_1^2} \\$

Since $d_2=2d_1$

The above ratio is

$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{1.68(10^{-8}) }{1.59(10^{-8}) } (4)\\ \frac{R_1}{R_2}=4.2264$

We also have,

$\frac{E/R_1}{E/R_2} =\frac{I_1}{I_2} \\ I_2=\frac{R_1}{R_2}I_1 \\ I_2=4.23I_1$

The current through the Silver wire will be 4.23 times the current through the original wire.
