A very good insulator has an R-value of 29. The material's heat transfer coefficient is

Physics
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b. 0.034

Explanation:

The heat transfer coefficient of a material (U-value) is equal to the reciprocal of its R-value, therefore:

U = \frac{1}{R}

where

R is the R-value of the material

For the insulator in this problem,

R = 29

Substituting into the equation, we find the heat transfer coefficient:

U=\frac{1}{29}=0.034

you push a coin across a table the coin stops how does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces
-BARSIC- [3]
When you exert a force on the coin, it will accelerate. If you push the coin and it moves at a constant velocity, the friction force must be equal to the force that you are exerting. This is an example of a balanced force. When the net force is greater than 0 N, the is an unbalanced force.

The big bang theory has finally answered one of the biggest questions of science—the origin of the universe.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to the big bang theory, matter was an infinitely small and very high density point which at one point exploded and expanded in all directions, creating what we know as our Universe, which also includes space and time . This happened about 13.8 billion years ago. Theoretical physicists have managed to reconstruct this chronology of events from 1/100 of a second after the Big Bang. After the explosion, while the Universe expanded, it cooled sufficiently and the first subatomic particles were formed: Electrons, Positrons, Mesons, Barions, Neutrinos, Photons among others. Today more than 90 particles are known. This theory solves many unknowns and is very well received by the scientific community, however there is still much to solve, for example, one of the great unsolved scientific problems in the expanding Universe model is whether the Universe is open or closed.

An attempt to solve this problem is to determine if the average density of matter in the Universe is greater than the critical value in Friedmann's model. The mass of a galaxy can be measured by observing the movement of its stars; multiplying the mass of each galaxy by the number of galaxies, it is seen that the density is only 5 to 10% of the critical value.

Mid-ocean ridges happen along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing large volcanic eruptions of basalt.

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!
