Keeping in mind that not all flasks are vacuum, Please help me explain how other flasks prevent heat loss?

lidiya [134]

The silver coating on the inner bottle prevents heat transfer by radiation, and the vacuum between its double wall prevents heat moving by convection. The thinness of the glass walls stops heat entering or leaving the flask by conduction.

A large rock of mass me materializes stationary at the orbit of Mercury and falls into the sun. Itf the Sun has a mass ms and ra

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is $v = \sqrt{2G\frac{M_s}{R^2}(R-r_s)}$ .

Explanation:

From the law of gravity,

$F = G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$

considering F as a conservative force, $F = - \nabla U$ ,

the general expression for gravitational potential energy is

$U = -G \frac{Mm}{r}$ ,

where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the mass of the attracting bodies, and r is the distance between their centers. The negative sign is because the force approaches zero for large distances, and we choose the zero of gravitational potential energy at an infinite distance away.

However, as the mass of the Sun is much greater than the mass of the rock, the gravitational acceleration is defined as

$g = -G \frac{M}{r^2}$ ,

(the negative sign indicates that the force is an attractive force), and the potential energy between the rock and the Sun is

$U = g M_e R$ ,

which is actually the total energy of the system, because the rock materializes stationary at this point (there is no radial kinetic energy).

When the rock hits the surface of the Sun, almost all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, but not all because the Sun is not a puntual mass. So the potential energy converted to kinetic energy is

$U_p = g M_e(R- r_s)$ ,

then, the kinetik energy when the rock hits the surface is

$U_k =\frac{1}{2}M_e v^2 = g M_e(R- r_s)$ ,

$v = \sqrt{2g(R-r_s)}$

where g is the gravitational acceleration generated by the Sun at R,

$g = G \frac{M_s}{R^2}$ .

If a car is traveling at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour, how long does it take to travel 12 kilometers?

Otrada [13]

Answer: 0.2 hour

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Time = Distance / Speed

= 12/60

= 0.2 hour

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike rider is 91kg. What is the kinetic energy of

Anestetic [448]

a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m* v^{2}$

It is given:

v = 8.5 m/s

m = 91 kg

So:

$KE= \frac{1}{2}*91*8.5^{2} =3,287.4J$

b) We can calculate height by using the formula for potential energy (PE):
PE = m*g*h

In this case, h is eight, and PE is the same as KE:
PE = KE = 3,287.4 J

m = 91 kg

g = 9.81 m/s² - gravitational acceleration

h = ? - height

Now, let's replace those:

3,287.4= 91 * 9.81 * h

⇒ h = 3,287.4/(91*9.81) = 3,287.4/892.7 = 3.7 m
