Answer:

Conduction is usually faster in certain solids and liquids than in gases. Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are especially good thermal conductors because they have freely moving electrons that can transfer thermal energy quickly and easily.

Heat transfer by convection happens through the air, and there are millions of minuscule air spaces between the fibers. Heat transfer by radiation is also slow since one fiber must radiate its heat to another.

When we give heat then kinetic energy is increase and this heat is transferred from hot metal to cold metal through this free electrons. As in insulator the free electrons are negligible so that the heat is not transferred from hot junction to cold junction due to absence of this free electrons.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally aw

astraxan [27]

26.54 m/s is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground

h=100m,v=20m/s,g=9.8m/s

time it takes to reach the ground,

$[t=\sqrt2h/g],[=\sqrt2*100/9.8=4.51s]$

x= 120m

t= 4.52

v= x/t

v= 120/4.52

v= 26.54 m/s

The "speed at which an object changes its location" can be expressed using a vector number called velocity. Consider a person who moves swiftly while taking two steps forward and two steps back while remaining in one location. Velocity is a vector quantity. Therefore, velocity is cognizant of direction. The direction must be taken into account when determining an object's velocity. A speed of 55 mph is not enough information. The direction must be used to appropriately depict the item's velocity. Simply said, the direction of the velocity vector indicates the direction of motion of an object.

At what point does a rubber band have the most elastic potential energy? Explain.

madam [21]

Answer:

You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy. ... When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic (motion) energy.
