Answer:

lol While plastic and wood aren't great thermal conductors, they conduct heat faster than air does. Even if the toilet seat is at the same temperature as the air around it, it will feel colder to your but t because heat will move from your skin to the seat at a faster pace Air just doesn't conduct heat very quickly.

A force of 44 N will stretch a rubber band 88 cm (0.080.08 m). Assuming that Hooke's law applies, how far will aa 11-N forc

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The rubber band will be stretched 0.02 m.

The work done in stretching is 0.11 J.

Explanation:

Force 1 = 44 N

extension of rubber band = 0.080 m

Force 2 = 11 N

extension = ?

According to Hooke's Law, force applied is proportional to the extension provided elastic limit is not extended.

F = ke

where k = constant of elasticity

e = extension of the material

F = force applied.

For the first case,

44 = 0.080K

K = 44/0.080 = 550 N/m

For the second situation involving the same rubber band

Force = 11 N

e = 550 N/m

11 = 550e

extension e = 11/550 = 0.02 m

The work done to stretch the rubber band this far is equal to the potential energy stored within the rubber due to the stretch. This is in line with energy conservation.

potential energy stored = $\frac{1}{2}ke^{2}$

==> $\frac{1}{2}* 550* 0.02^{2}$ = 0.11 J

The speed of sound is dependent on which of the following?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second. so that would be answer A

Answer:

i think the answer would be:Jonas’ brother gets out of the cab of the truck and sits in the back of the truck with the furniture. With less mass, they should be able to push the truck to the gas station.
