Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2100 \ meters}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the distance a firework travels.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time, but we don't know the final velocity. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

$d=v_it+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

The initial velocity is 235 meters per second. The firework travels for 12 seconds. It has an acceleration of -10 meters per second squared.

$v_i$ = 235 m/s
t= 12 s
a= -10 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

$d= (235 \ m/s)(12 \ s) + \frac{1}{2} (-10 m/s^2)(12 \ s)^2$

Multiply the first 2 numbers in parentheses. The units of seconds cancel.

$d=(235 \ m * 12 ) + \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s )^2$

$d= (2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s )^2$

Solve the exponent.

(12 s)²= 12 s * 12s = 144 s²

$d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(144 \ s^2)$

Multiply the other numbers in parentheses. The units of seconds squared cancel.

$d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m * 144 )$

$d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-1440 \ m)$

Multiply by 1/2 or divide by 2.

$d= 2820 \ m + (-720 \ m)$

Add.

$d= 2100 \ m$

The firework traveled <u>2100 meters</u> before exploding.

A common method to measure thermal conductivity of a biomaterial is to insert a long metallic probe axially into the center of a

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that thermal conduction is uniform and one-dimensional, the conduction heat transfer ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in watts, in the hollow cylinder is:

$\dot Q = \frac{2\cdot k\cdot L}{\ln \left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)}\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})$

Where:

$k$ - Thermal conductivity, measured in watts per meter-Celsius.

$L$ - Length of the cylinder, measured in meters.

$D_{i}$ - Inner diameter, measured in meters.

$D_{o}$ - Outer diameter, measured in meters.

$T_{i}$ - Temperature at inner surface, measured in Celsius.

$T_{o}$ - Temperature at outer surface, measured in Celsius.

Now we clear the thermal conductivity in the equation:

$k = \frac{\dot Q}{2\cdot L\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})}\cdot \ln\left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)$

If we know that $\dot Q = 40.8\,W$ , $L = 0.6\,m$ , $T_{i} = 50\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C$ , $D_{i} = 0.01\,m$ and $D_{o} = 0.04\,m$ , the thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is:

$k = \left[\frac{40.8\,W}{2\cdot (0.6\,m)\cdot (50\,^{\circ}C-20\,^{\circ}C)}\right]\cdot \ln \left(\frac{0.04\,m}{0.01\,m} \right)$

$k \approx 1.571\,\frac{W}{m\cdot ^{\circ}C}$

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

How did Orsted discover Electromagnetism?

Liula [17]

Answer:

Hans Christian Oersted began a new scientific epoch when he discovered that electricity and magnetism are linked. He showed by experiment that an electric current flowing through a wire could move a nearby magnet. The discovery of electromagnetism set the stage for the eventual development of our modern technology-based world.

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood

Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>
