Answer:

Faster particles bump into slower particles ( A )

Explanation:

Thermal conduction in a solid involves the microscopic collision of particles in the solid and this particles are made up of electrons, molecules and atoms. the collisions occur when faster particles collide with slower particles and this happens in a disorganized manner.

when cannot say for sure in what direction each of the particles is moving but there is surely collisions between particles which in turn results to transfer of kinetic and potential energies

A 2500-N net force acting on a 880-kg car accelerates it at a rate of ______ m/s/s

Bond [772]

Answer:

a = 2.84 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force, F = 2500 N

Mass of the car, m = 880 kg

We need to find the acceleration of the car. Net force is given by :

F = ma

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{2500\ N}{880\ m/s^2}\\\\a=2.84\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is 2.84 m/s².

In some plants, the pistils don’t Form until a few days after the stamens do.How might this keep a plant from self pollinating

KATRIN_1 [288]

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances.

For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stamens mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

Horace has invented a unique pair of reading glasses that have two small light bulbs at the bottom wired in series, so that he c

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance of each bulb, R = 2 ohms

Voltage of the system, V = 3.2 volts

These two bulbs are connected in series. The equivalent resistance will be 2 ohms +2 ohms = 4 ohms

Let I is the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses. Using Ohm's law to find it such that :

$V=IR\\\\I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{3.2}{4}\\\\I=0.8\ A$

So, the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.
