What would happen if you touched an object that is the same temperature as your hand? Would any heat transfer happen? Explain your answer in 4-5 sentences.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

When two objects are in thermal equilibrium they are said to have the same temperature. During the process of reaching thermal equilibrium, heat, which is a form of energy, is transferred between the object

which means that it refers to transfer through a selectively permeable partition, the contact path.[1] For the relation of thermal equilibrium, the contact path is permeable only to heat; it does not permit the passage of matter or work; it is called a diathermal connection. According to Lieb and Yngvason, the essential meaning of the relation of thermal equilibrium includes that it is reflexive and symmetric. It is not included in the essential meaning whether it is or is not transitive. After discussing the semantics of the definition, they postulate a substantial physical axiom, that they call the "zeroth law of thermodynamics", that thermal equilibrium is a transitive relation. They comment that the equivalence classes of systems so established are called isotherms

What does the Law of Conservation of Momentum stare about the momentum in a system in an inelastic collision?

Answers

Answer:

The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

Explanation:

Answer:

For any collision occurring in an isolated system, momentum is conserved. The total amount of momentum of the collection of objects in the system is the same before the collision as after the collision.

Answers

Answer:

The temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. Thermal energy that is transferred from one substance to another; moves from warmer to cooler objects. The transfer of heat by direct contact; occurs when energy is transferred by collisions between particles.

Explanation:

When thermal energy is transferred  both kinetic and potential energy increases.

What is thermal energy?

Thermal energy is defined as a type of energy which is contained within a system which is responsible for temperature rise.Heat is a type of thermal energy.It is concerned with the first law of thermodynamics.

Thermal energy arises from friction and drag.It includes the internal energy or enthalpy of a body of matter and radiation.It is related to internal energy and heat .It arises when a substance whose molecules or atoms are vibrating faster.

These vibrating molecules and atoms collide and as a result of which heat is generated in a substance , more the collision of particles , higher is the thermal energy.There  are three types of thermal energy transfer:1) conduction 2) convection 3) radiation

Write a statement about the relationship between
frequency and wavelength (what happens to the frequency if the wavelength is smaller? larger?)
(They are trying to teach this in remote learning ;-; also why don't they have a Science choice?)

Answers

Answer:Just as wavelength and frequency are related to light, they are also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy.

Explanation:So, if the wavelength of a light wave is shorter, that means that the frequency will be higher because one cycle can pass in a shorter amount of time. ... That means that longer wavelengths have a lower frequency. Conclusion: a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency!

Extra explanation: All waves can be defined in terms of their frequency and intensity. c = λν expresses the relationship between wavelength and frequency.

Go around your house and hit (or tap) ten different objects. The objects should be different shapes and made of different material (choose things to hit that won’t break!). Each object is a different medium for sound. Try to hit each using the same amount of energy. Describe each object that you hit. What is its shape and what is it made of? Then describe how it sounds to you. Does it transmit sound well? Does it absorb sound? Is the sound loud or soft? Is there a “ring” to the sound? Does it sound like a “thunk” or does it sound like a drum? Rank the ten objects from loudest to softest. Draw some conclusions based on your results from Steps 1 and 2. For example, are there a certain shapes or materials that are better or worse media for sound travel?

book ( tak tak it is hard in voice )

bed ( pat pat it is soft in voice )

Door, window, picture, floor,stairs, wall, desk, backpack, paper, bed all of these produce different sound.

What do you mean by sound?

The term sound is defined as an acoustic wave is a vibration that travels through a gas, liquid, or solid transmission medium. In terms of human physiology and psychology, sound is the brain's receipt of these waves and perception of them.

A mechanical disturbance that causes an equilibrium condition to be disturbed and propagates by an elastic material medium.

The vibration of an object creates sound, which travels from one place to another by a medium. Vibration is the phrase used to explain an object's to-and-fro or back-and-forth motion. Vibrations are generated by objects in motion.

Therefore, stairs, wall, door, window, picture, floor, desk, backpack, paper, bed all of these produce different sound.

A 1000 kg boulder sits at the top of a 50-meter high cliff. Determine the amount of potential energy possessed by the boulder if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The boulder has_______(magnitude/ number)_______(units) of Potential Energy.

Answers

Answer:

490000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of boulder  = 1000kg

Height of cliff = 50m

Acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is due to the position of a body. It is expressed as;

        P.E  = mgH

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due gravity

H is the height

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

            P.E  = 1000 x 9.8 x 50  = 490000J

Data:  

m = 1000 kg

h = 50 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Find:  

P.E = ?

Formula:  

P.E = mgh

Solution:  

P.E = mgh

P.E = (1000)*(9.8)*(50)

P.E = 490000 J

Result:

P.E = 490000 Joule

seconds.


The average time to the second quarter checkpoint is

seconds.


The average time to the third quarter checkpoint is

seconds.


The average time to the finish line is

seconds.

Answers

Answer:

The average time to the first quarter checkpoint is 2.07 seconds.The average time to the second quarter checkpoint is 3.16 seconds.The average time to the third  quarter check point is 4.11 seconds.The average time to the finish line is 4.92 seconds.

Explanation:  I got it right on edge2021 :)

s

average we find the average times for each checkpoint

point 1   [tex]t_{avg}[/tex]   = 2.07 s

point 2 t_{avg} = 3.16 s

point 3 t_{avg} = 4.11 s

point 4 t_{avg} = 4.92 s

given parameters

     * Graph with time for each interval

to calculate

 * average time for each interval (checkpoint)

The average of a magnitude is

          [tex]t_{avg} = \sum \frac{t_i}{n}[/tex]

where [tex]t_{avg}[/tex] in the average time, t_i each time the magnitude is measured and n the number of times the measurement is repeated for the same point.

The table shows the times measured for each interval

measurement       time (s) in interval,

                               1     2         3       4

1                         2.02    3.17   4.12    4.93

2                        2.05    3.07  3.98   4.81

3                         2.15    3.25  4.23    5.01

we look for the average time to get married check point

point 1

          t_{avg} = (2.02 + 2.05 + 2.15) / 3

          t_{avg} = 2.07 s

Point 2

          t_{avg} = (3.17 +3.07 + 3.25) / 3

          t_{avg} = 3.16 s

point 3

          t_{avg} = (4.12 + 3.98 + 4.23) / 3

          t_{avg} = 4.11 s

checkpoint 4

           t_{avg} = (4.93 + 4.81 + 5.01) / 3

           t_{avg} = 4.917 s

We use the criterion of significant figures for the sum, which is stable that the result must be given with the number of decimal places of the figure that I have the least.

           t_{avg} = 4.92 s

the average allows to find the average times for each check point

point 1 tavg = 2.07 s

point 2 tavg = 3.16 s

point 3 tavg = 4.11 s

point 4 tavg = 4.92 s
