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.

A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = 2v

F=\dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r}

F=4\dfrac{m(v)^2}{r}..........(1)

For the slower car on the road,

F'=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}............(2)

Equation (1) becomes,

F=4F'

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.

Suppose that an object is moving with constant nonzero acceleration. Which of the following is an accurate statement concerning
Wittaler [7]

Answer: The right answer is b)

Explanation:

By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity (in module or direction) over a given time interval, as follows:

a = (v-v₀) / (t-t₀)

If we take t₀ = 0 (this is completely arbitrary), we can rewrite the equation above, as follows:

v = v₀ + at

We can recognize this function as a linear one, where a represents the slope of the line.

If a is constant, this means that the relationship between the change in velocity and the change in time remains constant, in other words, in equal times, its velocity changes in an equal amount.

Let's suppose that a = 10 m/s/s. (Usually written as 10 m/s²).

This is telling us that each second, the velocity increases 10 m/s.

(a) calculate earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the north pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the radius of the earth is
kakasveta [241]

(a) The value of the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r=6371 km=6.371 \cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius at the pole

If we use the value for g given by the problem, g=9.830 m/s^2, and we rearrange the equation above, we find the value of the Earth's mass:

M=\frac{gr^2}{G}=\frac{(9.830 m/s^2)(6.371 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}{6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}}=5.982 \cdot 10^{24} kg

(b) The value we found for the Earth's mass is 5.982 \cdot 10^{24} kg, and we see that this value is slightly larger than the accepted value of 5.979 \cdot 10^{24} kg.
