Explanation:

because conduction takes place in objects whose particles are close/touching each other therefore conduction happens in solid as liquid and gas paricles are not close to each other

Answer: It wouldn't be as modern as today is we would be back to using oil and other things from back then there wouldn't be cars everything would be less machined.

Three students have been studying relative motion and decide to do an experiment to demonstrate their knowledge. The experiment

miskamm [114]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Constant speed of Jane=12.6 m/s

a.When Fred can throw the ball 30 m/s

We have to find the angle relative to the horizontal when he throw the ball in order for Sue to see the ball travel vertically upward.

Let $\theta$ be the angle .

Therefore,

$30 cos\theta=12.6$

$cos\theta=\frac{12.6}{30}=0.42$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(0.42)=65.165^{\circ}$

b.We have to find the height to which ball reach.

$v^2-v^2_0=2aS$

$S=\frac{v^2-v^2_0}{2a}=\frac{0-(30 sin65.165)^2}{2(-9.81)}$

$S=37.78 m$

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter

kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or $87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b). 1.78 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

$d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}$

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

$I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\ I=87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b).

$I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A$

$A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2} \\A=5.309x10^{-6}$

$V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}$

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng

natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

$c = \lambda* f (1)$

Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m (2)$
