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.

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

A rocket moves through outer space a 12,000 m/s. At this time, how much time would be required to travel the distance from Earth
nexus9112 [7]
12000 m/s = 12 km/s. Now to go 380000 km, it will take some time. How much time is given in the formula 12km/s. You go 12 kilometers every second. So you take \frac{380000km}{12km/s} and that gives you 31,666.666 seconds.

DerKrebs [107]

Correct answer choice is :


C) A jar with snails crawling on living plants


Explanation:


By using the power of sunlight, plants can change carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in a method described photosynthesis. As photosynthesis needs sunlight, this method only occurs during the day. We usually like to think of this as plants `exhaling in carbon dioxide and `breathing out oxygen. Gas transfer between Alveolar Spaces and Capillaries. The role of the respiratory system is to transfer two gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide. The transfer takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that surround them.
