Explain the following observation referring to the appropriate process of heat transfer in each case

If the two cups are the same/equal in all regards the spoon makes the difference in heat loss. Metal spoon is a good conductor, heat conducts up the spoon handle. Radiant and convection losses occur in the surrounding air. Metal becomes a “heat sink”.

Spoon will feel warmer to the touch than a pottery or foam cup that is not a good conductor.

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

To find out the kinetic friction, using the coefficient friction formula.

What is kinetic friction?

A force that acts between moving surfaces is called "kinetic friction." A force acting in opposition to the direction of a moving body on the surface is felt. The two materials' kinetic friction coefficients will determine how much force is applied.

What is coefficient friction?

A measure of the degree of friction between two surfaces is the coefficient of friction. A coefficient of friction is determined by calculating the resistance to motion at the intersection of two surfaces made of the same or different materials.

U-coefficient of friction

K-Kinetic friction

Using UK

450+370-f=m*o

f=820=UK*260*9.8

UK=2.548

820/2.548

UK= 321.8210361

Therefore the coefficient of kinetic friction is 321.8210361

In which case would electrical potential energy be built up and stored in the electric field? a) A positive charge is moved towa

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Although, it is common knowledge that in an electric field, unlike charges attract and like charges repel. However, to build up an electric potential, a positive charge is brought close to another positive charge - this causes work done to be changed to electric potential energy and stored in the electric field.

It should however be noted that when a negative charge is moved away from a positive charge, the negative charge gains electric potential energy.
