Answer:

Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them. This then continues and passes the energy from the hot end down to the colder end of the substance.

If the mass of an object is 35kg on venus what is its mass on the sun

REY [17]

Answer:

Venus is only 95% the size of Earth, and 81% of its mass. With the smaller size and mass, the force of gravity pulling you on the surface is lower. To get your weight on Venus, just multiply your current weight by 0.9. That's why 100 pounds becomes 90 pounds

What is the power generated by a 45 kg person who walks up a flight of 12 stairs, each 30 cm high, in 12 s?

Free_Kalibri [48]

The total distance covered by the person is 12 times the height of each stair:
$\Delta h=12 \cdot 30 cm=360 cm=3.60 m$

The work done by the person to climb the stairs is equal to the increase in his gravitational potential energy:
$W= \Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.60 m)=1589.2 J$

And therefore, the power generated by the person in 12 s is the work done divided by the time taken:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{1589.2 J}{12 s}=132.3 W$

So, the correct answer is B.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves based on their frequency and wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the visible light part. Visible light is perceived as a different color by the human eye, depending on the wavelength of the light. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380 - 450 nm

Blue: 450 - 495 nm

Green: 495 - 570 nm

Yellow: 570 nm - 590 nm

Orange: 590 nm - 620 nm

Red: 620 nm - 750 nm
