What type of material is good at transferring heat?

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is A

Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are very good thermal conductors. Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators. Gases such as air and materials such as plastic and wood are thermal insulators

A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is conv

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

$K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2$

$\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1$

Put the value into the formula

$\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1$

$\gamma=208$

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

$\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}$

$\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1$

$v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2$

Put the value into the formula

$v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2$

$v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}$

$v=0.9999 c\ m/s$

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

A sound wave was determined to have a frequency of 0.3 Hz, speed of 150 cm/s, and amplitude of 2 cm. Find its wavelength.

fredd [130]

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf....................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of the sound wave, λ = wavelength of the sound wave, f = frequency of the sound wave.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f..................... Equation 2

Given: v = 150 cm/s = 1.5 m/s, f = 0.3 hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 1.5/0.3

λ = 5 m.

What is the temperature of a sample of gas when the average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in the sample is 8.37 × 1

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

404K

Explanation:

Data given, Kinetic Energy.K.E=8.37*10^-21J

Note: as the temperature of a is increase, the rate of random movement will increase, hence leading to more collision per unit time. Hence we can say that the relationship between the kinetic energy and the temperature is a direct variation.

This relationship can be expressed as

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}KT$
