Incandescent lights get hot very quickly and therefore can easily burn u or catch fire
Answer:
a) 
b) The second runner will win
c) d = 10.54m
Explanation:
For part (a):
For part (b) we will calculate the amount of time that takes both runners to cross the finish line:
Since it takes less time to the second runner to cross the finish line, we can say the she won the race.
For part (c), we know how much time it takes the second runner to win, so we just need the position of the first runner in that moment:
X1 = V1*t2 = 239.46m Since the finish line was 250m away:
d = 250m - 239.46m = 10.54m
That's two different things it depends on:
-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.
Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:
-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;
-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.
-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.
<u>Experiment A:</u>
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
<span><em>Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster </em>
<em>when it had more surface area.</em></span>
============================================
============================================
<u>Experiment B:</u>
-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the <em>first section </em>of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section. Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
<em>Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air </em>
<em>blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.</em>
==========================================
Answer:
A) Increases by a factor of 2
Explanation:
Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.
Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;
Where;
K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
M represents mass measured in kilograms.
V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.
Given that mass, m = 2m
Substituting into the equation, we have;
K.E = ½mv²
K.E = ½*2mv²
Cross-multiplying, we have;
2K.E = 2mv²
Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.
