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.

Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes ab

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. On these equations we will define the speed as the distance traveled in a space of time, and that speed will be in charge of indicating the reaction rate of the individual. In turn, using the ratio of speed, position and acceleration, we will clear the position and determine the distance necessary for braking.

The relation to express the velocity in terms of position for constant acceleration is as follows

v^2 = u^2+2a(s-s_0)

Here,

u = Initial velocity

v= Final velocity

a = Acceleration

s_0 = Initial position

s = Final position

PART 1) Calculate the displacement within the reaction time

d = vt

d = (44)(0.75)

d = 33ft

In this case we can calculate the shortest stopping distance

0^2 = 44^2+2(-2)(s-33)

s = 517ft

PART 2)

PART 1) Calculate the displacement within the reaction time

d = vt

d = (44)(3)

d = 132ft

In this case we can calculate the shortest stopping distance

0^2 = 44^2+2(-2)(s-132)

s = 616ft

While a person without alcohol would cost 517ft to slow down, under alcoholic substances that distance would be 616ft
