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.

The universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects observed now at redshift of ______________

Nuetrik [128]

The redshift of distant galaxy are larger than those of closer galaxies, which indicates that the galaxy is receding at a faster rate.

The Universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects now at redshift of <u>19</u>.

Reasons:

The size of the universe represented as a scale factor with relation to the redshift can be presented as follows;

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0} =\mathbf{ \frac{1}{1 + z}}$

Where;

a₀ = The current size of the Universe

a = The size of the early Universe = 5% of a

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0} =5\% = 0.05= \frac{1}{1 + z}$

$\displaystyle 0.05 = \frac{1}{1 + z}$

0.05 + 0.05·z = 1

$\displaystyle z = \mathbf{ \frac{1 - 0.05}{0.05} } = 19$

The redshift is of the observed light is, z = <u>19</u>

A 70.9-kg boy and a 43.2-kg girl, both wearing skates face each other at rest on a skating rink. The boy pushes the girl, sendin

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy $m_b=70.9\ kg$

mass of girl $m_g=43.2\ kg$

speed of girl after push $v_g=4.64\ m/s$

Suppose speed of boy after push is $v_b$

initially momentum of system is zero so final momentum is also zero because momentum is conserved

$P_i=P=f$

$0=m_b\cdot v_b+m_g\cdot v_g$

$v_b=-\frac{m_g}{m_b}\times v_g$

$v_b=-\frac{43.2}{70.9}\times 4.64$

$v_b=-2.82\ m/s$

i.e. velocity of boy is 2.82 m/s towards west

Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2 from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec should be the smallest frequency
