The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes
conduction ...
heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.

A).  This is the one.  Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire.   This is conduction too.

B).  No.  The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there.  This is convection.

C).  No.  There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it.  This is radiation.

D).  No.  Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it. 
This is convection.

If light has a speed of 122,000 mps in a transparent medium, what is the index of refraction of the medium? A. n = 1.52
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A.\hspace{3}n=1.52

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

Where:

c=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}vacuum\\n=Refractive\hspace{3}index\\

v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}medium

The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:

122,000\frac{mi}{s} *\frac{1.60934km}{1mi}=196339.48\frac{km}{s}

Finally, replacing the data in (1):

n=\frac{300,000}{196339.48} =1.527965746\approx1.52

Suppose that the dipole moment associated with an iron atom of an iron bar is 2.8 × 10-23 J/T. Assume that all the atoms in the
masya89 [10]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the equations related to the magnetic moment, that is, the amount of force that an image can exert on the electric currents and the torque that a magnetic field exerts on them.

The diple moment associated with an iron bar is given by,

\mu = \alpha *N

Where,

\alpha = Dipole momento associated with an Atom

N = Number of atoms

\alpha y previously given in the problem and its value is 2.8*10^{-23}J/T

L = 5.8cm = 5.8*10^{-2}m

A = 1.5cm^2 = 1.5*10^{-4}m^2

The number of the atoms N, can be calculated as,

N = \frac{\rho AL}{M_{mass}}*A_n

Where

\rho = Density

M_{mass} = Molar Mass

A = Area

L = Length

A_n =Avogadro number

N = \frac{(7.9g/cm^3)(1.5cm)(5.8cm^2)}{55.9g/mol}(6.022*10^{23}atoms/mol)

N = 7.4041*10^{23}atoms

Then applying the equation about the dipole moment associated with an iron bar we have,

\mu = \alpha *N

\mu = (2.8*10^{-23})*(7.4041*10^{23})

\mu = 20.72Am^2

PART B) With the dipole moment we can now calculate the Torque in the system, which is

\tau = \mu B sin(90)

\tau = (20.72)(2.2)

\tau = 45.584N.m

<em>Note: The angle generated is perpendicular, so it takes 90 ° for the calculation made.</em>

a sample contains 100 g of radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{50g}

Definition:

Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.

Explanation:

How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.

Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.

1) Divide 100g by 2.

\frac{100g}{2}=50g
