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.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The bulb is not powered because the negative end of the battery is not connected to the electric current,making it dysfunctional. The electrons have to flow through the positive and negative ends of the battery in order for it to work.

Hope this helps.

kondaur [170]
Slicing a tomato is still considered a physical change because you are only altering the shape of it by slicing it. It does not change color or make bubble when slicing the tomato. Therefore, it is still a physical change

A car is traveling north at 17.7 m/s . After 6 it’s velocity is 141 in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction of t
Furkat [3]

By equation of motion we have   v = u + at

Where u = Initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time taken and a = acceleration

Here v = 141 m/s, u = 17.7 m/s and t = 6 s

On substitution we will get

        141 = 17.7+ 6a

       So, a = (141-17.7)/6 = 20. 55 m/s^{2}

       Aceeleration = 20. 55 m/s^{2} along north direction.

P14.003A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.1 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressur
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank is 0.0189 m

Explanation:

Given data:

d = inside diameter = 8.1 m

P = internal pressure = 1.26 MPa

σ = 270 MPa

factor of safety = 2

Question: Determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank, tmin = ?

The allow factor of safety:

\sigma _{a}  =\frac{\sigma }{factor-of-safety} =\frac{270}{2} =135MPa

The minimun wall thickness:

t=\frac{Pd}{4\sigma _{a} } =\frac{1.26*8.1}{4*135} =0.0189m

A circular grill of diameter 0.25 m has an emissivity of 0.8. If the surface temperature is maintained at 150°C, determine the r
Schach [20]

Answer:

the required electrical power when the room air and surroundings are at 30°C.= 52.51822 Watt

Explanation:

Power required to maintain the surface temperature at 150°C from 20°C

P= εσA(T^4-t^4)

P= power in watt

ε= emissivity

A=  area of surface

T= 150°C= 423 K

t= 20°C= 303K

/sigma= 5.67×10^{-8} watt/m^2K^4

putting vales we get

= 0.8\times5.67\times10^{-8} \pi\frac{0.25^4}{4}(423^4-303^4)

P=52.51822 Watt

the required electrical power when the room air and surroundings are at 30°C.= 52.51822 Watt
