Explain why a black asphalt parking lot feels hotter to your bare feet then a concrete sidewalk does and describe how the heat i

s transferred to your feet

Answer: This is because black objects or surfaces absorb heat more than white objects.

Explanation:

Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably. heat is transferred to feet by heat conduction. Also since the feet is a cold body and the floor is hot,the method of heat transfer is CONDUCTION.

Since the asphalt is black it absorbs heat which makes it hotter unlike concrete which I think reflects off the sun.

As the temperature of a substance approaches absolute zero, the random motion of the molecules
ehidna [41]
Answer:  Decreases

Explanation:
By definition, absolute zero temperature defines the temperature at which the atoms of a material no longer transmit thermal energy.

Engineering materials can transmit thermal energy at higher temperatures by random molecular motion.
It follows that as the temperature decreases toward absolute zero, random molecular motion decreases.

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 2?
alina1380 [7]
I believe that the answer to the question asked  above is the following

sound intensity = sound power / (4 pi R2<span>)
</span>
so if you decrease the intensity by a factor of 2 the sound wave will also decrease by a factor of 2.


Hope my answer would be a great help for you.    If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

A boy is moving a stone in a horizontal circle by mean of a thread attached to ut. The length if the threads us 1 m and the weig
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a centripetal force problem where tension supplies the centripetal force needed to keep the stone moving in a circular manner. That formula for that is

F_c=T=\frac{mv^2}{r} and filling in what we know:

1*10^{-4}=\frac{.02v^2}{1} and solve that for v:

v=\sqrt{\frac{1*10^{-4}}{.02} } which gives us a velocity of .07 m/s. Anything greater than this will break the string.

In the far future, astronauts travel to the planet Saturn and land on Mimas, one of its 62 moons. Mimas is small compared with t
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

a) h = 13,205.4 m

b)  r_f = 2.12 106 m

c)        e% = 0.68%

Explanation:

a) This is an exercise we are asked to use energy conservation,

Starting point. On the surface of Mimas

        Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final point. Where the ball stops

       Em_{f} = U = m g h

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ m v² = m g h

         h = ½ v² / g

let's calculate

         h = ½ 41² / 0.0636

         h = 13,205.4 m

b) For this part we are asked to use the law of universal gravitation, write the energy

starting point. Satellite surface

           Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v² - GmM / r_o

final point. Where the ball stops

            Em_{f}= U = - G mM / r_f

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          ½ m v² - G m M / r_o = - G mM / r_f

In this case all distances are measured from the center of the satellite

         1 / rf = 1 / GM (-½ v² + G M / r_o)

     

let's calculate

         1 / rf = 1 / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 3.75 10¹⁹) (- ½ 41 2 + 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 3.75 10¹⁹ / 1.98 105)

         1 / r_f = 3,998 10⁻¹¹(-840.5 + 12.63 10³)

          1 / r_f = 4,714 10⁻⁷

          r_f = 1 / 4,715 10⁻⁷

          r_f = 2.12 106 m

to measure this distance from the satellite surface

          r_f ’= r_f - r_o

          r_f ’= 2.12 106 - 1.98 105

         r_f ’= 1,922 106 m

c) the percentage difference is

          e% = 13 205.4 / 1,922 106 100

          e% = 0.68%

The estimate of part a is a little low
