Definitely air since most metals are conductors and air is an insulator.

The answer is E. air
Air is a poor conductor of heat. This can be determined through a property called thermal conductivity and has a unit of W/m.K. It is described as a quantity of heat through a unit thickness of material per temperature. The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the more it is able to conduct heat. Most gases are poor conductors of heat.

Buffalo, New York, and Raleigh, NC, lie approximately on the same meridian. Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9° N, and Raleigh has a
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Distance will be =3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles

Explanation:

We have given that Buffalo has a latitude of 42.9°N

And Raleigh has a latitude of 35.8°N

Radius of the earth = 3960 miles

We have to calculate the distance between given two cities

Difference in their latitudes = 42.9-35.8=7.1^{\circ}

Now changing the angle in radian = 7.1\times\frac{\pi }{180}=0.12385radian

So distance will be =3960\times 0.12385=490.468miles

azamat

Answer:   <u>Trough </u> can lift the 403,342 ton pioneering spirit crane vessel 10 meters in 30 seconds as if it was a cork. This about 36 GJ if work and 1 GW of power.

Explanation:

  • Why trough?

Trough is the correct answer because<u> pioneering scale usually abide only on  trough not on the other given options</u>. A long , narrow depression between the waves or ridges is known as a trough. The lower point in the period is the trough.

  • <u>Speed -:</u> Speed is the distance per unit of time that a body moves. It's a quantity scaler that has just magnitude.
  • <u>Wave energy -: </u>The transmission and capture of energy by ocean surface waves is wave energy (or wave power). The energy collected is then used for all sorts of useful work, including the generation of electricity, water desalination, and water pumping.
  • <u>Crest -</u>: A crest point within a cycle on a wave with the highest value of upward displacement. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the medium's displacement is at its height.
  • <u>Amplitude -:</u> The maximum displacement or distance measured from its equilibrium position, moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave, is called amplitude. It is equal to half of the vibration path's length.
  • <u>Period-</u>: The duration T is the time needed to pass a given point for one complete cycle of vibration. The wave length decreases as the frequency of a wave increases.
  • <u>Wavelength-:</u> The distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave can be described as the wavelength. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This implies that the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency. Similarly, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency would be.
  • <u>Frequency</u> -: Frequency defines the number of waves in a given amount of time that travel through a fixed location. In the Hertz unit, frequency is normally measured.
  • <u>Information</u> -: A piece of data is a basic fact about the identity or properties of an object, i.e. a portion of its example.
  • <u>Milli -</u>: Milli is known as a merged form meaning 'thousand' (millipede) used in the metric system for unit names equal to one thousandth of the base unit (millimeter) given.

Hence , the answer is <u>TROUGH.</u>

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 6.0 kg on Earth?
gregori [183]
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
  • 6 x 9.807
  • = 58.842 N

hope that helps :))

An 1100kg car reached 30m/s in 9s from rest. What force did the engine provide?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

≅3666.67 N

Explanation:

Use Newton's 2nd law, F = ma where F=force applied, m = mass of the object,

a = acceleration acquired by the object.

a= (v-u)/t where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity and t = time taken

calculate a = (30-0)/9 ≅ 3.33 m/s2

Then F = 1100×a = 3666.67 N
