Iguanas need to live in a habitat that is very warm, so the pet store warms their enclosures with “basking lights” which act as

an artificial sun. Describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana’s enclosure.

Sorry I'm late, but here is the answer!

Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require the matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.

Two antennas located at points A and B are broadcasting radio waves of frequency 96.0 MHz, perfectly in phase with each other. T
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

a)   Δφ = 1.51 rad , b)  x = 21.17 m

Explanation:

This is an interference problem, as they indicate that the distance AP is on the x-axis the antennas must be on the y-axis, the phase difference is

          Δr /λ = Δfi / 2π

          Δfi = Δr /λ 2π

          Δr = r₂-r₁

let's look the distances

         r₁ = 57.0 m

We use Pythagoras' theorem for the other distance

         r₂ = √ (x² + y²)

         r₂ = √(57² + 9.3²)

         r₂ = 57.75 m

The  difference is

         Δr = 57.75 - 57.0

         Δr = 0.75 m

Let's look for the wavelength

        c =  λ f

          λ = c / f

          λ = 3 10⁸ / 96.0 10⁶

          λ = 3.12 m

Let's calculate

         Δφ = 0.75 / 3.12 2π

         Δφ = 1.51 rad

b) for destructive interference the path difference must be λ/2, the equation for destructive interference with φ = π remains

           Δr = (2n + 1) λ / 2

           

For the first interference n = 0

           Δr = λ / 2

           Δr = r₂ - r₁

We substitute the values

        √ (x² + y²) - x = 3.12 / 2

Let's solve for distance x

          √ (x² + y²) = 1.56 + x

          x² + y² = (1.56 + x)²

          x² + y² = 1.56² + 2 1.56 x + x²

          y2 = 20.4336 +3.12 x

          x = (y² -20.4336) /3.12

          x = (9.3² -20.4336) /3.12

          x = 21.17 m

This is the distance for the first minimum

Which fundamental force causes some forms of radioactivity? A. Gravity B. Electromagnetic force C. Strong nuclear force D. Weak
I am Lyosha [343]

Hello.

The answer is: D. weak nuclear force.

The weak force causes beta decay, a form of radioactivity. It could not be explained by the strong nuclear force, the force that’s responsible for holding the atomic nucleus together, because this force doesn’t affect electrons.

It couldn’t be the electromagnetic force, because this does not affect neutrons, and the force of gravity is far too weak to be responsible.

Have a nice day

Why is gravitational forces equal for everyone?
Alik [6]

That equation is Newton's universal law of gravitation. ... Any two masses exert equal-and-opposite gravitational forces on each other. If we drop a ball, the Earth exerts a gravitational force on the ball, but the ball exerts a gravitational force of the same magnitude (and in the opposite direction) on the Earth.
