How is heat transferred during thermal conduction? Through direct contact of particles Through electromagnetic waves Through motion of hot and cold liquid Through the rising of a warm gas
Answer:
Through direct contact of particlesExplanation:
Heat is transferred in the following ways listed below
1. Conduction(Through direct contact of particles )
2. Convection(Through motion of hot and cold liquid )
3. Radiation(Through electromagnetic waves Through the rising of a warm gas )
1. Conduction: This has to do with the transfer of heat from one medium to another having direct contact with each other, the medium can either be solid or liquids
2. Convection: Has to do with the transfer of heat energy via molecules of the liquids in motion with different or varying temperature gradients
3. Radiation: Mostly occurs in gases, it is the transfer of energy through waves
If you have a 200g sample of a radioactive isotope that has a half life of 50 years, hc
much will you have left at the end of 200 years?
a. 12.5 g
b. 100 g
c. 50 g
d. 25 g
Answer:
The correct option is;
a. 12.5 g
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The initial mass of the radioactive substance = 200 g
The half life of the radioactive substance = 50 years
The time duration for the disintegration = 200 years
The formula for half life is given as follows;
[tex]N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]
Where:
N(t) = Quantity of the remaining substance
N₀ = Initial radioactive substance quantity = 200 g
t = Time duration = 200 years
[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = Half life of the radioactive substance 50 years
Therefore, we have;
[tex]N(t) =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{200}{50} } =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^4 = 12.5 \ g[/tex]
Therefore, at the end of 200 years, the quantity left = 12.5 g.
I need help. can I get some
Explanation:
a) Acceleration is the slope of the velocity vs time graph. When velocity vs time is a straight line, that means the acceleration is a constant. F = ma, so the resultant force is also constant.
b) As air resistance increases, the acceleration begins to decrease.
c) A falling object stops accelerating when it reaches terminal velocity.
d) F = ma, so when the acceleration is 0, the resultant force is also 0.
an object is +2 m from the reference point. the object starts from rest it travels for 3 seconds and has a final position of -16 m. what is the acceleration of the object?
Answer:
Solution
Given:
initial velocity (u)=0m/s (because an object
starts from the rest)
time (t)=3sec
diatance travelled(s)=14m(16-2=14)
acceleration (a)=?
Now,
According to the formula
s=ut+1/2at^2
or,14 =0×3+1/2×a×3^2
or, 14=0+a/2×9
or, 14=9a/2
or, 9a=28
or, a=28/9
or, a=3.1 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 3.1m/s^2 ans.
A glacier advances at 7.4 x 10^-6 cm/s
How far will it move in 4.2 y?
Answer in units of cm.
cm/s.
Answer:
236.8 cm
Explanation:
1 yr = 365 days = (365×24×60×60) secs
= 32 × 10^6
distace = velocity × time
= 7.4 × 10^-6 × 32 × 10^6
= 236.8 cm
The glacier will move 976.8 cm when it advances at 7.4 7.4×10⁻⁶ cm/s in 4.2 y
From the question above when we talk about how far, is still the same as distance.
Applying the equation of velocity,
V = d/t................... Equation 1
Where V = velocity, d = distance, t = time
make d the subject of equation 1
d = Vt................ Equation 2
From the question,
Given: V = 7.4×10⁻⁶ cm/s, t = 4.2 year = (4.2×3.154×10⁷) seconds = 1.32×10⁸ seconds
Substitute these values into equation 2
d = (7.4×10⁻⁶)(1.32×10⁸)
d = 9.768×10² cm
d = 976.8 cm
Hence the glacier will advances 976.8 cm

The ways to measure the mass and volume of irregular object
Answer:
When we have irregular objects, it may become very hard to calculate the volume of the object, as we actually can not use any simple equation to find it.
The mass is less tricky, just find a scale and wheight it, now we know the mass of the irregular object.
One way to measure the volume of the object is using water... how we do it?
Get some recipient with water, measure the height of the water.
Introduce your object into the water and totally submerge it, now the level of the water will rise. This is because as you introduce the object under the water, you are displacing up a given volume of water that has the same volume as the irregular object.
Now that you know the height of the water before and after you put your object, you can easily calculate the volume of water displaced, and that will be the volume of the object (the tricky part may be totally submerging the object if, for example, is wood and it floats, here you can use a thin wire to push it down but it will affect a little bit the measures.)

A round steel plate with a diameter of 20 cm is supplied with heat in such a way that its temperature changes from 22 ° C to 150 ° C. How much does its area increase?
Answer:
1.05×10⁻⁴ m²
Explanation:
ΔA = 2 A₀ α ΔT,
where ΔA is the change in area,
A₀ is the initial area,
α is the linear expansion coefficient,
and ΔT is the change in temperature.
A₀ = π (0.20 m / 2)² = 0.0314 m².
For steel, α = 13×10⁻⁶ /°C.
ΔT = 150°C − 22°C = 128°C.
ΔA = 2 (0.0314 m²) (13×10⁻⁶ /°C) (128°C)
ΔA = 1.05×10⁻⁴ m²

A diver performs a dive from a 10 m-platform. She
jumps vertically upwards at 3 m s initially.
Find the time she takes to reach the water surface
Answer:
The time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform is 1.71 s
Explanation:
According to the equations of motion, we have;
v = u - g·t
v² = u² - 2·g·s
s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²
The given parameters are;
The height of the platform (assumption: above the water) = 10 m
The velocity with which she jumps, u = 3 m/s
The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²
The height to which she jumps, s, is found as follows;
v² = u² - 2·g·s
At maximum height, v = 0, which gives;
0 = 3² - 2×9.81×s
2×9.81×s = 3² = 9
s = 9/(2×9.81) = 0.4587 m
s = 0.4587 m
The time to maximum height, t, is found as follows;
v = u - g·t
0 = 3 - 9.81×t
9.81×t = 3
t = 3/9.81 = 0.3058 s
The total distance, s₁ from maximum height to the water surface = s + 10 = 0.4587 + 10 = 10.4587 m = 10.46 m
The time to reach the water from maximum height, t₁, is found as follows;
s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²
Where;
s₁ = The total distance from maximum height to the water surface = 10.46 m
u₁ = The initial velocity, this time from the maximum height = 0 m/s
g₁ = The acceleration due to gravity, g (positive this time as the diver is accelerating down) = 9.81 m/s²
t₁ = The time to reach the water from maximum height
Substituting the values gives;
s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²
10.46 = 0·t₁ + 1/2·9.81·t₁²
t₁²= 10.46/(1/2×9.81) = 2.13 s²
t₁ = √2.13 = 1.46 s
Total time = t₁ + t = 1.46 + 0.3058 = 1.7066 ≈ 1.71 s.
Therefore, the time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform = 1.71 s.

Each corner of a right-angled triangle is occupied by identical point charges "A", "B", and "C" respectively. Draw a sketch of this arrangement. "A" exerts force F on "B". An equal force F is exerted by "C" on "B" (/_ ABC= 90 degrees). Determine an expression for the net force on "B".
Answer:
Fnet = F√2
Fnet = kq²/r² √2
Explanation:
A exerts a force F on B, and C exerts an equal force F on B perpendicular to that. The net force can be found with Pythagorean theorem:
Fnet = √(F² + F²)
Fnet = F√2
The force between two charges particles is:
F = k q₁ q₂ / r²
where
k is Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.
If we say the charge of each particle is q, then:
F = kq²/r²
Substituting:
Fnet = kq²/r² √2
Hi please may someone help me especially on the sketch part.
An object falls from a hovering helicopter and hits the ground at a speed of 30 m/s. How long does it take the object to reach the ground and how far does it fall? Sketch a velocity-time graph for the object (ignore air resistance).
Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.
We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s
we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/
(final - initial velocity)/timetaken=10
(30-0)/timetaken=10
timetaken =30/10=3 seconds
The radius of a small ball is around 3.79747 cm. The radius of a basketball is about 3.16 times larger. What is the ratio of the surface areas of the small ball and a basketball? 2. What is the ratio of their volumes?
Explanation:
The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the radii.
A/A = 3.16² = 9.99
The ratio of the volumes is the cube of the ratio of the radii.
V/V = 3.16³ = 31.6
Determine the magnitude of the force that must be applied to a wooden block whose weight has a magnitude of 8N, so that it acquires an acceleration of 0.5 m / s²
Answer:
F = 0.408 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Weight of a wooden block, W = 8 N
Weight, W = mg
m is mass of wooden block
[tex]m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{8\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\m=0.816\ kg[/tex]
Acceleration of the block, a = 0.5 m/s²
Force, F = ma
[tex]F=0.816\ kg\times 0.5\ m/s^2\\\\F=0.408\ N[/tex]
So, the magnitude of force applied to the wooden block is 0.408 N.

Mr. Franklin uses a machine that has an efficiency of 80%. The machine applies a force of 800 N through a distance of 20 m. Mr. Franklin applies a force of 50 N on the machine. Through what distance does Mr. Franklin apply the force? 4 m 16 m 260 m 400 m
Answer:
The distance Mr Franklin applied the force is 400 m
Explanation:
The efficiency of the machine = 80%
The force applied by the machine = 800 N
The distance over which the force is applied by the machine = 20 m
The force applied by Mr. Franklin = 50 N
The work done by the machine = 800 × 20 = 16000 J
The ideal work at 100% efficiency = X
80% of X = 16000 J
X = 16000 N/0.8 = 20,000 J
Therefore, we have have;
Work = Force × Distance;
20,000 J = 50 N × Distance Mr Franklin applied the force
Distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 20,000 J/(50 N) = 400 m
The distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 400 m.

White light is spread out into its spectral components by a diffraction grating. If the grating has 1,970 grooves per centimeter, at what angle (in degrees) does red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order? (Assume that the light is incident normally on the gratings.)
Answer;
7.238°
Explanation
From question we know that the grating has 1,970 grooves per centimeter, we can convert to from (cm) to (nm) for unit consistency
The slit separation is expressed below
d=1cm/1970
d=0.0005076
=5076nm
Then the angle (in degrees) that the red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order can be calculated using expression below
Sin(x)= mλ/d
Where λ= wavelength=640 nm
d=slit separation
Sin(x)= mλ/d
Sin(x)=(1×640)/5076
=0.126
sin-1(0.126)
X= 7.238°
Therefore,the angle (in degrees) that the red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order is 7.238°
