Why does conduction occur in solids?

Physics

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.

A visitor to the observation deck of a skyscraper manages to drop a penny over the edge. As the penny falls faster, the force du

pentagon [3]

If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

A table tennis ball has a mass of about 2.45 g. Suppose the ball is hit across the table with a speed of 4.0 m/s. What is it’s k

cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.0196 j

Explanation:

i) The formula for kinetic energy is as follows: 0.5*m*v^2

ii) Since we have all the values all that's left is to plug them into the equation

iii) First, WE MUST, Convert grams into kgs as this is the SI unit of mass so 2.45/1000

iv) All that's left now is to plug it into the equation so:

0.5* (s.45/1000)*(4^2)

v) Lastly we add the unit joules at the end as we're talking about energy

Hope this was useful! :)

An object accelerating at 16 m/s/s doubles its mass and triples its net force acting on it. What will the new acceleration be? (

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

24 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial acceleration of the object, a = 16 m/s²

Let 'm' represent the initial mass of the object

The initial force acting on the object, F = m × a

∴ F = 16 × m = 16·m

When the mass is doubled, we have;

The new mass of the object, m₂ = 2 × m = 2·m

When the net force acting on the object triples, we have;

The new net force acting on the object, F₂ = 3 × F = 3 × 16·m = 48·m

From F = m × a, we have;

a = F/m

∴ The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = F₂/m₂

From which, by plugging in the values, we have;

a₂ = 48·m/(2·m) = 24

The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = 24 m/s².
