A particular solid is an excellent conductor of thermal energy. Is it more likely to be a metal or a non-metal?

1 answer:

8 0

It is more likely to be a metal. This is because metals are good heat conductors whereas non metals tend to be poor heat conductors.

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat $=30\ mph$

cliff is $3000\ m$ away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know $time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}$

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.

A 60-watt light bulb has a voltage of 120 volts applied across it and a current of 0.5 amperes flows through the bulb. What is t

Naddik [55]

Answer: 240ohms

Explanation: P=IV

P=60watts

I=0.5A

V=120volts

From ohms law

V=IR

R=V/I

R=120/0.5

R= 240ohms

find the potential energy of an aircraft weighing 10000 bs at 5000 ft true altitude and 125 kts true air speed

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$U=5*10^7ft.Ib$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight $W= 10000bs$

Altitude $H=5000ft$

Speed $V=125kts\\1kts=0.514m/s\\V=125*0.514=>64.25m/s$

Generally the equation for Potential energy ids mathematically given as

$Potential\ Energy\ U=mgh$

$U=Wh$

$U=10000*5000$

$U=5*10^7ft.Ib$

Dry cells become soft even when not in use. Explain.

mamaluj [8]

This is possible due to self-discharge. Very small internal currents inevitably occur in these cells over time and they will eventually exhaust the chemistry.
