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.

A sinusoidal transverse wave travels along a long, stretched string. The amplitude of this wave is 0.08190.0819 m, its frequency
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 0.08190 m

Frequency = 2.29 Hz

Wavelength = 1.87 m

(a). We need to calculate the shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave

Using formula of distance

d=2A

Where, d = distance

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

d=2\times0.08190

d=0.1638\ m

Hence, The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.

The aeroplane lands at a speed of 80 m/s
strojnjashka [21]

The mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

It states that the force F is directly proportional to the acceleration a of the body and its mass.

The law is represented as

F =ma

where acceleration a = velocity change v / time interval t

Given is the aeroplane lands at a speed of 80 m/s. After landing, the aeroplane takes 28 s to decelerate to a speed of 10 m/s. The mean resultant force on the aeroplane as it decelerates is 750 000 N.

The force expression will be

F = mv/t

Substitute the values and we have

750000 = m x  (80 -10)/ 28

750,000 = m x 2.5

m = 300,000 kg

Thus, the mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.
