Answer:

The answer is below!!

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation (e.g., radio, microwaves, light) can be modeled as a wave of changing electric and magnetic fields or as particles called photons. The wave model is useful for explaining many features of electro-magnetic radiation, and the particle model explains other features.

Based on the principles of convection, conduction and thermal radiation, which scenario below is most similar to the following s

Ksivusya [100]

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.

A mass on a spring with k=88.7 N/m oscillates 15 times in 9.24s. what is the objects mass? unit=kg?

sweet [91]

The mass on the spring is 0.86 kg

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by the equation

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass

k is the spring constant

In this problem, we have:

k = 88.7 N/m is the spring constant

The system makes 15 oscillations in 9.24 s: therefore, the period of the system is

$T=\frac{9.24}{15}=0.62 s$

Now we can re-arrange the first equation to solve for the mass:

$m=k(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2=(88.7)(\frac{0.62}{2\pi})^2=0.86 kg$

Answer:

50 cm is equivalent to 19,6850393701 inches.

Explanation:

A meter has 100 centimeters. 100 millimeters make one centimeter. The centimeter can be written as cm. While calculating the surface area of an object, the unit of measurement becomes cm2.
