Why does conduction occur in solids?

Physics
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart. ... As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan.

Explanation:

Metals have tightly packed atoms which can easily pass on their kinetic energy and also have free moving electrons.

What is the mass of an object that creates 33,750 joules of energy by traveling at 30 m/sec?
nikklg [1K]
The Energy is Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy = 1/2*mv²,  Where m is mass in kg, v is velocity in m/s

Energy is 33750 Juoles,  v = 30m/s

1/2*mv² = E

1/2*m*30² = 33750

m = (2*33750) / (30²)     Using a calculator

m = 75 kg

Mass of object is 75 kg.

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

Explain the working and performance of a centrifugal clutch with a sketch​
timama [110]

a centrifugal clutch works, as the name suggests, through centrifugal force. ... The rotation of the hub forces the shoes or flyweights outwards until they come into contact with the clutch drum, the friction material transmits the torque from the flyweights to the drum. The drive is then connected
