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 stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, "500" m above the ground. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) Find the dis
Yuri [45]

Answer:

h₍₁₎ = 495,1 meters

h₍₂₎ = 480,4 m

h₍₃₎ = 455,9 m

...

..

Explanation:

The exercise is "free fall". t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Solving with this formula you find the time it takes for the stone to reach the ground (T) = 102,04 s

The heights (h) according to his time (t) are found according to the formula:

h(t) = 500 - 1/2 * g * t²

Remplacing "t" with the desired time.

Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the
balandron [24]

Answer:

a) Δx = 11.6 m

b) t = 3.9 s

Explanation:

a)

  • Since the snowmobile is moving at constant speed, and the drive force is 195 N, this means that thereis another force equal and opposite acting on it, according to Newton's 2nd Law, due to there is no acceleration present in the horizontal direction .
  • This force is just the force of kinetic friction, and is equal to -195 N (assuming the positive direction as the direction of the movement).
  • Once the drive force is shut off, the only force acting on the snowmobile remains the friction force.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, this force is causing a negative acceleration (actually slowing down the snowmobile) that can be found as follows:

       a = \frac{F_{fr} }{m} = \frac{-195N}{128kg} = -1.5 m/s2 (1)

  • Assuming the friction force keeps constant, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the distance traveled under this acceleration before coming to an stop, as follows:

       v_{f} ^{2}  -v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x (2)

  • Taking into account that vf=0, replacing by the given (v₀) and a from (1), we can solve for Δx, as follows:

       \Delta x =- \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =- \frac{(5.90m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.5m/s2)} = 11.6 m (3)

b)

  • We can find the time needed to come to an stop, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

       v_{f} = v_{o} + a*\Delta t (4)

  • Since we have already said that the snowmobile comes to an stop, this means that vf = 0.
  • Replacing a and v₀ as we did in (3), we can solve for Δt as follows:

       \Delta t = \frac{-v_{o} }{a} = \frac{-5.9m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 3.9 s   (5)
