A steel fork and a plastic spoon are both at the same temperature. The fork feels colder when you touch it. This is because:
Debora [2.8K]

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.

A rod of 2.0-m length and a square (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm) cross section is made of a material with a resistivity of 6.0 × 10–8 Ω ⋅ m.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

= 8.33 Watt

Explanation:

R = \frac{pl}{A}

where,

p = resistivity

l = length

A = cross section area

Given that ,

p = resistivity = 6.0 × 10–8 Ω

l = 2m

A = cross section area = 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm = 4 x 10^-6 m^2

A = 2 x 2 mm^2 = 4 x 10^-6 m^2

p = 6 x 10^-8 ohm metre,

V = 0.5 V

Let R be the resistance of the rod

R = p\frac{l}{A} \\\\R = 6.0 \times 10^-^8 (\frac{2}{4 \times 10^-^6} )\\\\R = 3 \times 10^-^2

R = 3 × 10⁻²Ω

Heat generated  = V^2 / R

= (0.5)^2 / (3 x 10^-2)

 = 8.33 Watt

When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a sp
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:d=7.94\times 10^5\ m

Explanation:

Given

Speed of Primary wave v_1=8\ km/s

Speed of secondary wave v_2=4.5\ km/s

difference in timing of two waves are 77.2\ s

Suppose both travel a distance of d km then

t_1=\frac{d}{8}\quad \ldots (i)

t_2=\frac{d}{4.5}\quad \ldots (ii)

Subtract (ii) from (i)

\frac{d}{4.5}-\frac{d}{8}=77.2

d[\frac{1}{4.5}-\frac{1}{8}]=77.2

d[0.0972]=77.2

d=794.23\ km

d=7.94\times 10^5\ m
