Hello!
On a cold winters day, if you left a drink setting outside, it could freeze because the heat (related to the kinetic energy) of the atoms in the drink will be transferred to the environment to achieve energy equilibrium.
Heat transfer occurs by various mechanisms, flowing from the hottest body to the coldest, that's why the heat goes from the drink, which has a higher temperature (and kinetic energy) to the environment, which has a lower temperature. This is described by the second law of thermodynamics
Answer:
The semiconductor rod will conduct electricity
Explanation:
Glass rod does not conduct electricity. Glass is one of the best insulators of electricity. But when a glass rod is replace with a semi conductor, then the semi conductor rod starts conducting electricity as the electrons are free to move.
Semi conductors are special materials in which the energy band lies in between the conductor and the non conductor. The conductivity of a semi conductor increases with the increasing temperature.
In an semi conductor the electrons are free to move and as they starts moving they conduct electricity. Thus a semi conductor rod replacing a glass rod conducts electricity.
Answer:
A. The box experiences more friction on the carpeted floor
Explanation:
Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it slides along a surface. The magnitude of the friction is given by
where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and 
is the coefficient of friction, which depends on the type of material of the surface: the larger this coefficient, the stronger the friction, the more difficult is to push the box along the surface. Generally, a smooth surface has a lower coefficient of friction, while a rough surface has a larger coefficient of friction.
In this case, Ethan find it easier to push the box on the marble floor, because marble is smoother than the carpet and so friction is weaker, while for the carpeted floor the coefficient of friction is larger and so the friction is stronger, making it more difficult to push the box.
Answer:
1.96 m/s^2
Explanation:
angle of inclination, θ = 30.6°
coefficient of friction, μ = 0.36
Acceleration of the crate
a = g Sin θ - μ g Cos θ
a = 9.8 ( Sin 30.6 - 0.36 x Cos 30.6)
a = 9.8 ( 0.509 - 0.309)
a = 1.96 m/s^2
Thus, the acceleration f the crate is 1.96 m/s^2.
