Answer: The fork feels colder when you touch it because Steel conducts thermal energy better than plastic. The correct statement is 1

Explanation:

The ability of a material to transfer heat energy in an environment is known as thermal conductivity. It feels cooler to touch a steel spoon than a plastic spoon found in the same temperature because steel which is a type of metal is a highly efficient thermal conductor than spoon which is a plastic.

Metals can be defined as those substances which forms positive ion in a chemical reaction by lossing it's electrons. It has the following properties:

--> it is solid at room temperature

--> it has high melting point

--> it has high boiling point and

--> it is malleable.

Metals are said to be good thermal conductor because they contain free flowing conduction electrons. Therefore, when you touch a steel spoon and plastic spoon, it feels cooler because the steel metal is able to conduct heat away from your hand faster than the plastic which is a poor conductor of heat.

Answer:

1. Steel conducts thermal energy better than plastic.

Explanation:

Both objects are at the same temperature, and when you touch them, you feel the steel to be colder.

This happens because steel is a better thermal conductor, then when you touch it, it "steals" more thermal energy from you than the plastic.

As the amount of thermal energy transmitted is greater for the steel, you will feel it to be colder.

Then the correct option is the first one, steel conducts thermal energy better than plastic.

A 6.0 m section of wire carries a current of 5.2 A from east to west in the earth's magnetic field of 1.0 × 105 T at a location
NNADVOKAT [17]
Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left). 
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you). 
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)

Learning Task 1: Define or describe the following words relat are not familiar with the word, you may ask assistance from y your
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1.) TABLE = The table is 2.74 m (9.0 ft) long, 1.525 m (5.0 ft) wide, and 76 cm (2.5 ft) high with any continuous material so long as the table yields a uniform bounce of about 23 cm (9.1 in) when a standard ball is dropped onto it from a height of 30 cm (11.8 in), or about 77%.

2.) TENNIS = Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court.

3.) PING-PONG = Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. ... Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage.

4.) NET = This is stretched across the centter of the table by a cord attached to a post at either end. It measures 6ft long and the ball must pass over it for a rally to continue.

5.) BALL = The ball, which is spherical and hollow, was once made of white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic similar to celluloid has been used. The ball, which may be coloured white, yellow, or orange, weighs about 0.09 ounce (2.7 grams) and has a diameter of about 1.6 inches (4 cm).

6.) RACKET = A table tennis racket is made up of two distinct parts - a wooden blade which incorporates the handle together with table tennis rubbers affixed to each side of the blade using water-based glue.

If an electron moves in a circle of radius 21 cm perpendicular to a B field of 0.4 T, what are the speed of the electron and the
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a)

v = 4.048 *10^6 m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =  1.92 * 10^7

Explanation:

As we know

v =  \frac{qBr}{m}

q is the charge on the electron = 3.2 * 10^{-19} C

B is the magnetic field in Tesla = 0.4 T

r is the radius of the circle = 0.21 m

mass of the electrons = 6.64 * 10^{-27} Kg

a)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

v = \frac{3.2 * 10^{-19}*0.4*0.21}{6.64 * 10^{-27}} \\v = 4.048 *10^6m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =

\frac{4.048 * 10^6 }{0.21} \\1.92 * 10^7
