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

Rama09 [41]3 years ago

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.

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

Skater begins to spend with arms held out at shoulder height. The skater wants to match the speed of the spin to the beat of the
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment

I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

Explanation:

The angular momentum is conserved if the external torques in the system are zero, this is achieved because the friction with the ice is very small,

           L₀ = L_f

           I₀ w₀ = I w

          w =\frac{I_o}{I} w₀

where we see that the angular velocity changes according to the relation of the angular moments, if we approximate the body as a cylinder with two point charges, weight of the arms

          I₀ = I_cylinder + 2 m r²

where r is the distance from the center of mass of the arms to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia of the cylinder does not change, therefore changing the distance of the arms changes the moment of inertia.

If we say that the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment will be

        I <I₀

        I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

therefore the angular velocity (rotations) must increase

in this way the skater can adjust his spin speed to the musician.

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar,  F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

f = 0.3\times108\times9.8

or

f = 317.52N

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

F_{Net}= F-f

Substituting the values in the equation we get

 F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N

or

F_{Net}= 216.48

also,

 

F_{Net}= M\timesacceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe=\frac{F_{Net}}{M}

or

 acceleration of the safe=\frac{216.48}{108}

or

 

acceleration of the safe=2.00 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be  2.00 m/s²

A centrifuge in a medical research laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,650 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates 46.0 t
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The constant angular acceleration of the centrifuge = -252.84 rad/s²

Explanation:

We will be using the equations of motion for this calculation.

Although, the parameters of this equation of motion will be composed of the angular form of the normal parameters.

First of, we write the given parameters.

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 2πf₀

f₀ = 3650 rev/min = (3650/60) rev/s = 60.83 rev/s

w₀ = 2πf₀ = 2π × 60.83 = 382.38 rad/s

θ = 46 revs = 46 × 2π = 289.14 rad

w = final angular velocity = 0 rad/s (since the centrifuge come rest at the end)

α = ?

Just like v² = u² + 2ay

w² = w₀² + 2αθ

0 = 382.38² + [2α × (289.14)]

578.29α = -146,214.4644

α = (-146,214.4644/578.29)

α = - 252.84 rad/s²

Hope this Helps!!!
