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.

Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.

the positive particle has a charge of 31.7 mC and the particles are 2.80 mm apart, what is the electric field at point A located
vichka [17]

Answer:

the electric field at point A is

E = 5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Explanation:

given

electrostatics constant k = 9.0×10⁹

charge q = 31.7mC= 31.7×10⁻³C

distance r = 2.80mm

distance from midpoint to point A = 2.00mm

attached is the diagram of the solution, describing the position of the charge

note x = r/2, where x is the distance from midpoint of r to the particle

using Pythagoras theorem as in the attachment, x = 2.44mm= 2.44×10⁻³m

the electric field at point A is given as

vector <em>E </em>= 2E×cos θ( -x direction)

recall E =kq/x²

where k is the electrostatics constant = 1/4πε₀

where ε₀ is permittivity of free space

therefore using E =2{kq/x²}cosθ

∴cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cosθ=1.40/2.44

E =2 {(9.0×10⁹ × 31.7×10⁻³) ÷ (2.44×10⁻³)²}×(1.40/2.44)(-x)

E=2{4.79×10¹³}×(0.574)(-x)

E = 2×2.75 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Vector <em>E= </em>5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

A skater rotates with her arms crossed at an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s and she has a moment of inertia of 100 kg/m2. She extend
solong [7]

Answer:

When her hands extends, her momen of inertia is 4.28\ kg-m^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular speed, \omega_i=8\ rad/s

Initial moment of inertia, I_1=100\ kg-m^2

Final angular speed, \omega_f=7\ rad/s

Initially, a skater rotates with her arms crossed and finally she extends her arms. The momentum remains conserved. Using the conservation of momentum as :

I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2

I_2 is final moment of inertia

I_2=\dfrac{I_1\omega_1}{\omega_2}\\\\I_2=\dfrac{100\times 8}{7}\\\\I_2=114.28\ kg-m^2

So, when her hands extends, her momen of inertia is 4.28\ kg-m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

5. A single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen. The 5th minimum occurs at 7.00° aw
abruzzese [7]

For a single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen,the angle  is mathematically given as

theta=25.3

Option A is correct

<h3> What angle does the 18th minimum occur?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the the angle   is mathematically given as

\theta=n(\lambda/d)

Therefore

\theta 1/ \theta 2=n1(\lambda/d)/ n2(\lambda/d)

In conclusion

theta/7=16/5

theta=10*7/5

theta=25.3
