This tasty snack starts as a kernel and is “popped” then

1 answer:

6 0

Popcorn can be popped by either of the three forms of heat transfer:

Conduction in a pan with hot oil on a stove element.

Convection by an air popper and warm air rising over a heating element... no direct contact with heat source.

Radiation is what occurs in a microwave. Invisible radiant heat activates water molecules in the popcorn.

All the above heat the kernel over 100 Celsius. Water vaporizes/boils (latent heat) and erupts through the kernel.

Mmmm popcorn watch out for the lipids (fat in the oil and butter)

What effect does Earth’s spherical shape have on the amount of sunlight that reaches the equator?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Because the Earth is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense sunlight, hence heat, at the equatorthan at the poles.

If a battery causes a wire to carry a current of 4 Amps how many coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds

BabaBlast [244]

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

According to above question ~

Current (I) = 4 Amperes

Time (t) = 3 seconds

Charge (q) = ?

Let's find the charge (q) by using formula ~

$I = \dfrac{q}{t}$

$4 = \dfrac{q}{3}$

$q = 4 \times 3$

$q = 12 \: \: coulombs$

Hence, 12 coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds

Compute the kinetic energy of a proton (mass 1.67×10−27kg ) using both the nonrelativistic and relativistic expressions for spee

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of proton $m=1.67\times10^{-27}\ kg$

Speed $v= 9.00\times10^{7}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for non relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times(9.00\times10^{7})^2$

$K.E=6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=mc^2(\sqrt{(\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}})}-1)$

$K.E=1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^{2}\cdot\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\frac{\left(9.00\times10^{7}\right)^{2}}{(3\times10^{8})^{2}}}}-1\right)$

$K.E=7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

Hence, The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature

shepuryov [24]

You can make sure there's no change in volume by keeping
your gas in a sealed jar with no leaks. Then you can play with
the temperature and the pressure all you want, and you'll know
that the volume is constant.

For 'ideal' gases,

   (pressure) times (volume) is proportional to (temperature).

And if volume is constant, then

   (pressure) is proportional to (temperature) .

So if you increase the temperature from 110K to 235K,
the pressure increases to (235/110) of where it started.

   (400 kPa) x (235/110) = 854.55 kPa. (rounded)

Obviously, choice-b is the right one, but
I don't know where the .46 came from.
