Why is it important that a finger be wet before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?

AleksandrR [38]3 years ago

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

Orlov [11]

Answer

• Improving the environmental performances

• Developing Green Mining technology

Explanation

The effect to the environment caused by opal mining are; impact on soils and geology, clearing of native vegetation disrupting flora and fauna, change in land use and effects of air quality.

Opal mining is currently examining environmental impacts and adopting measures that mitigate the impacts making the process less destructive to the environment.

With the current commitment to sustainability, opal companies are investing funds for Green Mining as a positive way to impact the environment before and after mining.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The vertical component of Jack's initial velocity is:

2.5

m/s

With gravitational acceleration

9.8

m/s

, he will reach the highest point of his trajectory after:

2.5

9.8

0.255

s

The average vertical component of his velocity in that

0.255

s

will be:

m/s

So the highest point of his trajectory will be:

0.255

⋅

1.25

≈

0.32

m

So he will pass approximately

7

above the top of the candle.

The horizontal component of his velocity will be a constant:

m/s

So Jack's trajectory will be substantially longer than it is high and he will spend little time anywhere near above the candle.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

The magnitude of Adam's displacement is 0 m

Explanation:

Given;

Adam's distance from his home to the mall, d₁ = 1100m

then, his distance from the mall back to his home, d₂ = 1100m

Adam's displacement is given by;

Displacement = final position - initial position

Adam's displacement = d₂ - d₁

Adam's displacement = 1100 m - 1100 m = 0 m

Therefore, the magnitude of Adam's displacement is 0 m
