Two objects are maintained at constant temperatures, one hot and one cold. Two identical bars can be attached end to end, as in

part a of the drawing, or one on top of the other, as in part b. When either of these arrangements is placed between the hot and the cold objects for the same amount of time, heat Q flows from left to right. Find the ratio Qa/Qb.

Answer:

Qa/Qb = k/2×2k = 1/4

Explanation:

a situation is series and b situation is parallel.

let conductance of each plate = k

so net conductance in series = k/2

net conductance in parallel = 2k

so Qa/Qb = k/2×2k = 1/4

a 59kg physics student jumps off the back of her laser sailboat (42kg). after she jumps the laser is found to be travelling at 1
evablogger [386]

From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.

Which biome contains mostly coniferous trees and receives 35 to 100 cm of rain per year?
a_sh-v [17]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

deciduous forest

taiga (boreal forest)

temperate rainforest

tropical rainforest

Answer:

Taiga (boreal forest)

Explanation:

A Biome refers to the habitat which is occupied by flora and fauna living in similar conditions.  These biomes are distinguished based on many features like precipitation, temperature and many other physical factors.

In the given question, the biome which receives an annual rainfall of 35 to 100 cm annually and is mostly covered by the coniferous trees is known as "Taiga biome" which is also known as Boreal forest.

The Taiga biome is one of the largest terrestrial biomes which is present in Eurasia and North America. The biome is characterised by the conifers trees and therefore is also known as the Coniferous trees.

Thus, Taiga (boreal forest) is the correct answer.

Glider‌ ‌A‌ ‌of‌ ‌mass‌ ‌0.355‌ ‌kg‌ ‌moves‌ ‌along‌ ‌a‌ ‌frictionless‌ ‌air‌ ‌track‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌velocity‌ ‌of‌ ‌0.095‌ ‌m/s.‌
NemiM [27]

Answer:

vB' = 0.075[m/s]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the principle of linear momentum conservation, which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

Now we have to come up with an equation that involves both bodies, before and after the collision. To the left of the equal sign are taken the bodies before the collision and to the right after the collision.

(m_{A}*v_{A})+(m_{B}*v_{B})=(m_{A}*v_{A'})+(m_{B}*v_{B'})

where:

mA = 0.355 [kg]

vA = 0.095 [m/s] before the collision

mB = 0.710 [kg]

vB = 0.045 [m/s] before the collision

vA' = 0.035 [m/s] after the collision

vB' [m/s] after the collison.

The signs in the equation remain positive since before and after the collision, both bodies continue to move in the same direction.

(0.355*0.095)+(0.710*0.045)=(0.355*0.035)+(0.710*v_{B'})\\v_{B'}=0.075[m/s]

An electron in a vacuum chamber is fired with a speed of 9800 km/s toward a large, uniformly charged plate 75 cm away. The elect
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The plate's surface charge density is -8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 9800 km/s

Distance d= 75 cm

Distance d' =15 cm

Suppose we determine the plate's surface charge density?

We need to calculate the surface charge density

Using work energy theorem

W=\Delta K.E

W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2

Here, final velocity is zero

W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2...(I)

We know that,

W=-Fd

W=-E\times e\times d

W=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d

Charge is negative for electron

\lambda=\dfrac{mv^2\epsilon_{0}}{(-e)d}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=-\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times(9800\times10^{3})^2\times8.85\times10^{-12}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times(75-15)\times10^{-2}}

\lambda=-8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Hence, The plate's surface charge density is -8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 30.0 min at 80.0 km/hr, 12.0 min at 105.0 km/hr, and 45.0 min at 4
bezimeni [28]
Total distance = (30/60 x 80) + (12/60 x 105) + (45/60 x 40) = 0.5 x 80 + 0.2 x 105 + 0.75 x 40 = 40 + 21 + 30 = 91 km

Average distance = total distance / time taken = 91 / (30/60 + 12/60 + 45/60) = 91/ (0.5 + 0.2 + 0.75) = 91/1.45 = 62.76 km/hr
