The cpu might be covered by a(n) ________, which dissipates the heat generated by the chip.

Physics
1 answer:
FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago

I think he correct term to fill in the blank would be heat sink. The CPU might be covered by a heat sink, which dissipates the heat generated by the chip. A heat sink is any device or a substance that absorbs heat generated or from the heat reservoir. For a device, it would be one that has a fan or a peltier device in order to keep a system having a cool temperature. This is done to protect a system from any damage due to excess heat. This protect any device from overheating. A CPU surely have this device because it should be kept cool to protect the chips inside it.

Answer:

1) D, 2) D, 3) B, 4) B, 5) C

Explanation:

You are asked to select the correct answer

1)  The conservation of energy is one of the most important principles of physics that allows solving countless problems in life.

the correct answer is D

2) when a body falls, the gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and both are transformed into thermal energy

the correct answer is D

3) When the gravitational potential energy is maximum, the kinetic energy is minimum and when the kinetic energy is maximum, the gravitational energy is minimum.

Correct answer B

4) speed is defined by

         v = x / t

so the correct answer is B in the SI system

5) when we repeat a measurement several times, the random or statistical errors decrease, therefore the confidence of the measurement increases.

The correct answer is C

A net force of –8750N is used to stop of 1250.kg car travelling 25m/s. What braking distance is needed to bring the car to a hal
Karolina [17]

Answer:

d = 44.64 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the car, F = -8750 N

The mass of the car, m = 1250 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 25 m/s

Final speed, v = 0 (it stops)

The formula for the net force is :

F = ma

a is acceleration of the car

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{-8750}{1250}\\\\a=-7\ m/s^2

Let d be the breaking distance. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{0^2-(25)^2}{2\times (-7)}\\\\d=44.64\ m

So, the required distance covered by the car is 44.64 m.

protons in an atomic nucleus are typically 10-15 m apart. what is the electric force of repulsion between nuclear protons?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

230 Newton

Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :

F = electric force (N)

k = electric constant (N m² / C²)

q = electric charge (C)

r = distance between charges (m)

The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)

F = k(q1 q2)/ r^2

Distance between protons = d = 10⁻¹⁵ m

charge of proton = q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Here q1=q2

electric force = F =230N

Coulomb's Law. Two protons in an atomic nucleus are typically separated by a distance of 2×10−15m. The electric repulsive force between the protons is huge, but the attractive nuclear force is even stronger and keeps the nucleus from bursting apart.

2 Nuclei and the Need for an Attractive Nuclear Force. The Coulomb force also acts within atomic nucleii, whose characteristic dimension is 10 m, which is called a fermi. There are two protons in a He nucleus, which repel each other because of the Coulomb force.

What is a conductor
Soloha48 [4]

C. none of the above

An electrical conductor is a substance in which electrical charge carriers, usually electrons, move easily from atom to atom with the application of voltage. Conductivity, in general, is the capacity to transmit something, such as electricity or heat. ... Copper, steel, gold, aluminum, and brass are also good conductors.
