A scientist places a strip of hot metal on top of a block of another metal with a lower melting point. The second metal quickly

melts. What is the main type of heat transfer responsible?
Select one:
a. Convection, because the metals touch and cold from the block moves to the warmer strip of metal, cooling it down
b. Conduction, because both metals are in the sun and melt as the sun's rays heat them
c. Convection, because heat from the strip of metal heats the air around it, and then that warm air heats the metal block
d. Conduction, because the heat energy is absorbed by the metal atoms in the block. Once they have absorbed enough energy, they become liquid

Answer:

D:

Explanation:

Conduction because the heat energy is transferring directly from the separate metals convection involves "currents" like in a liquid or a gas. When you turn on the stove with a pot of water on the burner the water at the bottom of the pot gets heated first almost immediately this water rises and cooler water falls. Basically the water is "stirring" or shifting, exchanging the heat energy this is why water heats so evenly.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

arcsin(\frac{R\mu}{(R+l)\sqrt{\mu^2+1}})

Explanation:

By the Law of Sines,

sin \theta = \frac{sin \phi R}{ l + R}

From Newton's Law,

mg = N\sqrt{\mu^2+1}

And the last equation again from Newton's Law,

\mu N = mgsin\phi

Then if we collect all equations together,

\mu N = mgsin\phi = N\sqrt{\mu^2+1}sin\phi\\

sin\theta = \frac{\mu R}{ (l + R)\sqrt{\mu^2+1}}

Thus,

\theta = arcsin(\frac{R\mu}{(R+l)\sqrt{\mu^2+1}})

The area of the sprinkles can be determined through the area of a circle that is pi * r^2 in which the given dimensions above are the radii, r. The second scenarios radius is only half of the original, that is 4 ft. In this case, we can compute the area of the second again. We calculate next the difference of two areas of circles.

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂

A certain alarm clock ticks four times each second, with each tick representing half a period. The balance wheel consists of a t
Semenov [28]

Answer:

a. I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2

b. K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m

Explanation:

The inertia can be find using

a.

I = m*r^2

m = 0.95 g * \frac{1 kg}{1000g}=9.5x10^{-4} kg

r=0.54 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm} =5.4x10^{-3}m

I = 9.5x10^{-4}kg*(5.4x10^{-3}m)^2

I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2

now to find the torsion constant can use knowing the period of the balance

b.

T=0.5 s

T=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}

Solve to K'

K = \frac{4\pi^2* I}{T^2}=\frac{4\pi^2*2.7702 kg*m^2}{(0.5s)^2}

K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m
