Answer:

Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Sun. The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system; they are separated by only 23 times the Earth - Sun distance.

What are the five basic postulates of kinetic-molecular theory?
lesantik [10]

Explanation:

The five basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory includes:

1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.

2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as  elastic collision.

3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.

4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.

5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.

How are steam powered boats different from sailboats
Alex
Steam powered boats run from an engine, using power, gears, and cranks to function.

Sailboats use no engine and rely on winds to move and change the direction of the boat.

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts =
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Explanation:

Given that,

For first object,

Characteristic length = 0.5 m

Surface temperature = 400 K

Atmospheric temperature = 300 K

Velocity = 25 m/s

Air velocity = 5 m/s

Characteristic length of second object = 2.5 m

We have same shape and density of both objects so the reynold number will be same,

We need to calculate the value of the average convection coefficient

Using formula of  reynold number for both objects

R_{1}=R_{2}

\dfrac{u_{1}L_{1}}{\eta_{1}}=\dfrac{u_{2}L_{2}}{\eta_{2}}

\dfrac{h_{1}L_{1}}{k_{1}}=\dfrac{h_{2}L_{2}}{k_{2}}

Here, k_{1}=k_{2}

h_{2}=h_{1}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}

h_{2}=\dfrac{q}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

h_{2}=\dfrac{10000}{400-300}\times\dfrac{0.5}{2.5}

h_{2}=20\ W/Km^2

Hence, The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².
