State the difference between sensible heat and latent heat

Explain why in the construction of a lightning conductor one end is made into a sharp point

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A lightning conductor is made up of a sharp pointed metal (usually copper metal, as it is a very good conductor) connected directly to the ground. ... The lightning conductor is placed higher than the roof so that if lightning strikes, it strikes the conductor before it can reach the house.

Find :

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

b) Gravity reduces the initial upward velocity to zero in a time of

t = v/g = 40/10 = 4 s

a) h = v₀t + ½gt² = 40(4) + ½(-10)4² = 80 m

or

v² = u² + 2as

h = (0² - 40²) / 2(-10) = 80 m

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can= $1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3$

$1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3$

Mass of can=80g= $\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg$

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead= $11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3$

By using $1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3$

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force = $F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead$

$\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg$

Where $\rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=$ Density of water

$m_c=$ Mass of can

$m_l=$ Mass of lead

$V_c=$ Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

$1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l$

$1.1-0.08=m_l$

$m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g$

$1 kg=1000g$

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders several miles in length and several miles in diameter be placed in space and used

stepladder [879]

Answer:

the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that the expression for the linear acceleration in terms of angular velocity is;

$a_{c}$ = rω²

ω² = $a_{c}$ / r

ω = √( $a_{c}$ / r )

where r is the radius of the cylinder

ω is the angular velocity

given that; the centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity a $a_{c}$ = g = 9.8 m/s²

so, given that, diameter = 4.86 miles = 4.86 × 1609 = 7819.74 m

Radius r = Diameter / 2 = 7819.74 m / 2 = 3909.87 m

so we substitute

ω = √( 9.8 m/s² / 3909.87 m )

ω = √0.002506477 s²

ω = 0.0500647 ≈ 0.05 rad/s

we know that; 1 rad/s = 9.5493 revolution per minute

ω = 0.05 × 9.5493 RPM

ω = 0.478082 RPM

1 rpm = 60 rph

so

ω = 0.478082 × 60

ω = 28.6849 revolutions per hour

Therefore, the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the

Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

$a_c =w^2r = \frac{v^2}{r}$

in this case we know the speed of the runner

$v =8.00\ m/s$

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

$r = 28.2\ m$

$a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2$

$a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2$

The answer is the last option
