Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool

Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.

Fluid flows at 2.0 m/s through a pipe of diameter 3.0 cm. What is the volume flow rate of the fluid in m^3/
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Volume flow rate = 1.41 \times 10^{-3}m^3/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate through a channel can be gotten by multiplying its area and its velocity.

The channel under consideration is a circular channel. Hence, the cross-sectional area can be calculated by using the relation for calculating the area of a circle

Cross-sectional area = \pi \times d^{2}/4

A = \pi \times (3\times 10^-2)^2  /4 = 7.07 \times 10 ^-4 m^2

volume flow rate= A =  7.07 \times 10 ^-4 m^2 X 2.0 = 1.41 \times 10^{-3}m^3/s

Volume flow rate = 1.41 \times 10^{-3}m^3/s

The properties of element 17 are most similar to which of the following elements?
DedPeter [7]

Halogens are highly reactive nonmetal elements in group 17 of the periodic table. ... Halogens are among the most reactive of all elements. They have seven valence electrons, so they are very “eager” to gain one electron to have a full outer energy level.

An object is placed a distance of 20 cm from a convex mirror of radius 40 cm. How far (in cm) is the image from the mirror?
Leona [35]

Answer:

Be sure you understand two optics principles: the focal length of a convex mirror is NEGATIVE (by convention) and R / 2 = f.

Find f, take its negative, plug in the mirror equation and obtain Di = - 24 cm. This indicates that the image is virtual (as it should be in a convex mirror), is erect (as all virtual images are), is diminished (as it should be) and INSIDE the mirror as it should be.
