There are three methods of heat travel:
CONDUCTION -- The transfer of heat through a medium. This is how we cook food on top of a stove. The heat from the stove burner is conducted through a medium (a metal pot) to the food.
CONVECTION -- The transfer of heat due to the physical movement of an object. We can observe convection by looking at a pot of boiling water. Have you ever noticed that when a pot of water is boiling, the water seems to follow a vertical circular motion? This is convection. The parcel of heated water at the bottom of the pot rises, as it rises it gives off some of its heat. Because it loses some heat, the parcel is cooler than the surrounding water. It then sinks to the bottom of the pot and the process is started again. The path of the rising water followed by the sinking water traces out a circle.
RADIATION -- The transfer of heat by means of waves. This is the most difficult method of heat transfer to understand. Yet, we experience it every day. We feel the effects of radiation whenever we stand near a stove or oven which is being used. We feel the heat radiating from the stove or oven to our skin. Similarly, we have all been outside on a sunny, hot Summer's day. If we look up to the sky we can feel the rays of the Sun hitting our faces. The Sun is radiating its heat to the Earth.
It is through one of the above processes of heat transfer that causes the air temperature at deep-ocean station 41001 to be warmer than that of land station CLKN7 during the winter months. Which process do you believe to be the cause of the air temperature differences between these two stations? I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with the temperature of the ocean water. Lets look at a graph of both the average air and water temperatures from Station 41001.
As you can see from the graph, the January (month 1) and February (month 2) water temperatures are about 20 degrees while the respective air temperatures are about 15 degrees. This is a 5 degree difference in temperature between the air and the water at the same geographical location!!
We can figure out what heat transfer process is influencing the air temperature at station 41001 by applying the three methods to our situation and then we can choose the one that seems most logical.
First, lets look at conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat through a conductive medium. Well, nothing exists between the air and the water surface. In our situation, the heat is going directly from the water to the air without passing through a conductive medium. Therefore, this is not the applicable process that is causing the warm winter-time air temperatures at station 41001.
Convection involves the movement of heated objects. The physical movement must be a result of the heating, such as with the pot of boiling water where the vertical movement is caused by the intense heat applied to the bottom of the pot. Because the ocean water isn't moving into or through the atmosphere as a result of the sun's heating of the water, convection isn't the process influencing air and water temperature difference. Ocean water is moving through the lower few feet of the air as ocean surface waves, but this doesn't occur because of the sun's heat.
The final process, radiation, is causing the winter-time air temperatures over water to be warmer than the winter-time air temperatures over land. The heat of the ocean is being given off (radiated) into the air, thus making the air substantially warmer.
If a woman walks at a speed of 5 miles/hour for 3 hours, she will have walked how many miles?

A cell phone weighing 80 grams is flying through the air at 15 m/s what is the kinetic energy
Answer:
[tex]9\:\mathrm{J}[/tex]
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is given by the following equation:
[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex], where [tex]m[/tex] is mass in [tex]\mathrm{kg}[/tex] and [tex]v[/tex] is velocity in [tex]\mathrm{m/s}[/tex].
Since the cell phone's mass is given in grams, we need to convert this into kilograms:

Given data
A car of weight 6,400N
Area= 80cm^2
The weight is distributed evenly on the 4 wheels
hence 6400/4
=1600 N
We know that
Pressure = force/Area
Pressure= 1600/80
Pressure= 20 N/cm^2
For the four wheels, the pressure is

While camping in a tent on a cold night, which would keep you warmer for a longer period of time. a 10 kg
bag of hot iron pellets or a 10 kg bag of hot water at the same temperature? Explain. PLEASE ANSWER
Answer:
a 10 kg bag of hot water at the same temperature
Explanation:
A 10kg bag of hot water at the same temperature will retain heat much better and keep the tent warmer at night compared to the iron pellet.
Water has a very large specific heat capacity. The specific heat capacity of water allows for it to retain heat better. It takes a larger amount of heat to warm water compared to iron which is a better conductor. In like manner, it takes more time for water to lose that amount of heat it has gained by the heating process. This is why it is a better choice to keep the room warmCalculate the moment on the following seesaws

A beaker with water resting on a scale weighs 40 N. A block
suspended on a hanging spring weighs 20 N. The spring scale
reads 15 N when a block is fully submerged in the water. What is
the reading of a scale on which the beaker with water rests, while
the block is submerged in the water after detached from the
hanging spring?
A. 25 N B. 60 N C. 55 N D. 45 N
Answer:
D. 45 N
Explanation:
The weight of the block is 20 N, when the block is fully immerged in water, it weighs 15 N. Hence the loss of weight = 20 N - 15 N = 5 N.
The loss of weight is as a result of the buoyant force. The buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid when an object is fully or partially immersed in a fluid.
The buoyant force of 5 N acts in the upward direction, the weight of the beaker that would be read by the scale when the beaker is immersed in water = 40 N + 5 N = 45 N
The earth rotates through one complete revolution every 1,440 minutes. Since the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the equator, you can think of a person standing on the equator as standing on the edge of a disc that is rotating through one complete revolution every 1440 minutes. Find the angular velocity of a person standing on the equator.
Answer:
The angular velocity of a person standing on the equator is approximately [tex]7.272\times 10^{-5}[/tex] radians per second.
Explanation:
The Earth rotates at constant speed. From Rotational Physics, the angular velocity ([tex]\omega[/tex]), measured in radians per second, is defined by the following formula:
[tex]\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex] (1)
Where [tex]T[/tex] is the period of rotation of the Earth, measured in seconds.
If we know that [tex]T = 86400\,s[/tex], then the angular velocity of a person standing on the equator is:
[tex]\omega = \frac{2\pi}{86400\,s}[/tex]
[tex]\omega \approx 7.272\times 10^{-5}\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]
The angular velocity of a person standing on the equator is approximately [tex]7.272\times 10^{-5}[/tex] radians per second.

If an object has applied force of 20 N and a frictional force of 5 N what is the net force?
Answer:
Net force = 15 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Applied force on an object = 20 N
Frictional force = 5 N
We need to find the net force acting on the object.
Friction is an opposing force. It acts in the opposite direction.
Net force = Applied force - Frictional force
= 20 N - 5 N
= 15 N
Hence, the net force acting on the object is 15 N.

a boy of mass 40kg sits at point 2m from the pivot of a see-saw . find the weight if a girl who can balance the see-saw by sitting at a distance of 3•2m from the pivot.( take g=10NKg)
Answer:
The weight of the girl is 250 N
Explanation:
Static Equilibrium
Static equilibrium occurs when an object is at rest, i.e., neither rotating nor translating.
In the static rotational equilibrium, the total torque is zero with respect to any rotational axis.
The torque applied by a force F perpendicular to a displacement X with respect to a reference rotating point is:
T = F*X
The seesaw will be in rotational equilibrium if the torque applied by the boy of mass m1=40 Kg at x1=2 m from the pivot is equal to the torque applied by the girl of unknown mass m2 at x2=3.2 m from the pivot.
The force applied by both children is their weight:
[tex]F_1 = W_1 = m_1g[/tex]
[tex]F_2 = W_2 = m_2g[/tex]
It must be satisfied:
[tex]m_1gx_1=m_2gx_2[/tex]
Simplifying:
[tex]m_1x_1=m_2x_2[/tex]
Solving for m2:
[tex]\displaystyle m_2=\frac{m_1x_1}{x_2}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle m_2=\frac{40*2}{3.2}[/tex]
[tex]m_2=25\ kg[/tex]
Her weight is:
[tex]\mathbf{W_2=25*10 = 250\ N}[/tex]
The weight of the girl is 250 N
A protein molecule in an electrophoresis gel has a negative charge. The exact charge depends on the pHpH of the solution, but 30 excess electrons is typical. What is the magnitude of the electric forceon a protein with this charge in a 1500 N/C electric field?
Answer:
The magnitude of the force = 7.2 × 10⁻¹⁵ C
Explanation:
The total quantization of charge q on an electron = n × e
where;
n = 30
e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁸ C
q = 30 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁸ C
q = 4.8 × 10⁻¹⁸ C
Now, the magnitude of the force is determined by using the formula:
F = qE
F = ( 4.8 × 10⁻¹⁸ C) ( 1500 N/C)
F = 7.2 × 10⁻¹⁵ C

Two point charges have a total electric potential energy of -24 J, and are separated by 29 cm.
If the total charge of the two charges is 45 μC, what is the charge, in μC, on the positive one?
What is the charge, in μC, on the negative one?
Answer:
The charge of the negative one is 13.27 microcoulombs and the positive one has a charge of 58.27 microcoulombs.
Explanation:
Electric potential energy between two point charges is derived from concept of Work, Work-Energy Theorem and Coulomb's Law and described by the following formula:
[tex]U_{e} = \frac{k\cdot q_{A}\cdot q_{B}}{r}[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]U_{e}[/tex] - Electric potential energy, measured in joules.
[tex]q_{A}[/tex], [tex]q_{B}[/tex] - Electric charges, measured in coulombs.
[tex]r[/tex] - Distance between charges, measured in meters.
[tex]k[/tex] - Coulomb's constant, measured in kilogram-cubic meters per square second-square coulomb.
If we know that [tex]U_{e} = -24\,J[/tex], [tex]q_{A} = 45\times 10^{-6}\,C+ q_{B}[/tex], [tex]k = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{kg\cdot m^{3}}{s^{2}\cdot C^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]r = 0.29\,m[/tex], then the electric charge is:
[tex]-24\,J = -\frac{\left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{kg\cdot m^{3}}{s^{2}\cdot C^{2}} \right)\cdot (45\times 10^{-6}\,C+q_{B})\cdot q_{B}}{0.29\,m}[/tex]
[tex]-6.96 = -405000\cdot q_{B}-9\times 10^{9}\cdot q_{B}^{2}[/tex]
[tex]9\times 10^{9}\cdot q_{B}^{2}+405000\cdot q_{B} -6.96 = 0[/tex] (2)
Roots of the polynomial are found by Quadratic Formula:
[tex]q_{B,1} = 1.327\times 10^{-5}\,C[/tex], [tex]q_{B,2} \approx -5.827\times 10^{-5}\,C[/tex]
Only the first roots offer a solution that is physically reasonable. The charge of the negative one is 13.27 microcoulombs and the positive one has a charge of 58.27 microcoulombs.
A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s. She then rides back along the same route from the turnaround marker to the starting marker at 16 m/s. What is her average speed for the whole race?
Answer:
12.31 m/s
Explanation:
If we recall from the previous knowledge we had about speed,
we will know that:
speed = distance/ time.
As such:
The average speed of the rider bicycle is
average speed = total distance/ total time
Mathematically, it can be computed as:
[tex]v_{avg} = \dfrac{d+d}{\dfrac{d}{v_1}+ \dfrac{d}{v_2}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{avg} = \dfrac{2d}{\dfrac{d}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{d}{16 \ m/s}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{1}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{1}{16 \ m/s}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{13}{80 \ m/s}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{v_{avg} =12.31 \ m/s}[/tex]
A student places an object with a mass of m on a disk at a position r from the center of the disk. The student starts rotating the disk. When the disk reaches a speed of 0.8 m/s, the object starts to slide off the disk. What is the coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk?
mass=100 g, r= 0.75 m
Answer:
The coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is 0.087.
Explanation:
According to the statement, the object on the disk experiments a centrifugal force due to static friction. From 2nd Newton's Law, we can represent the object by the following formula:
[tex]\Sigma F_{r} = \mu_{s}\cdot N = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}[/tex] (1)
[tex]\Sigma F_{y} = N - m\cdot g = 0[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]N[/tex] - Normal force from the ground on the object, measured in newtons.
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the object, measured in newtons.
[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.
[tex]v[/tex] - Linear speed of rotation of the disk, measured in meters per second.
[tex]R[/tex] - Distance of the object from the center of the disk, measured in meters.
By applying (2) on (1), we obtain the following formula:
[tex]\mu_{s}\cdot m\cdot g = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot R}[/tex]
If we know that [tex]v = 0.8\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]R = 0.75\,m[/tex], then the coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is:
[tex]\mu_{s} = \frac{\left(0.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.75\,m)}[/tex]
[tex]\mu_{s} = 0.087[/tex]
The coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is 0.087.

Explanation:
Given;
mass density of the string, μ = 3 x 10⁻³ kg/m
tension of the string, T = 380 N
resonating frequencies, 195 Hz and 260 N
For the given resonant frequencies;
[tex]195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(1)\\\\260 = \frac{n+1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(2)\\\\divide \ (2) \ by (1)\\\\\frac{260}{195} = \frac{n+1 }{n} \\\\260n = 195(n+1)\\\\260 n = 195 n + 195\\\\260n - 195n = 195\\\\65n = 195\\\\n = \frac{195}{65} \\\\n = 3[/tex]
(c) From any of the equations, solve for Length of the string (L);
[tex]195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\195 = \frac{3}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} } \\\\l = \frac{3}{2\times 195}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} }\\\\l = 2.74 \ m[/tex]
(a) the fundamental frequency is calculated as;
[tex]f_o = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\f_o = \frac{1}{2\times 2.74} \sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3} } }\\\\f_o = 65 \ Hz[/tex]
(b) harmonics of the given frequencies;
the first harmonic (n = 1) = f₀ = 65 Hz
the second harmonic (n = 2) = 2f₀ = 130 Hz
the third harmonic (n = 3) = 3f₀ = 195 Hz
the fourth harmonic (n = 4) = 4f₀ = 260 Hz
Thus, the harmonics of the given frequencies are third and fourth respectively.

Explanation:
Impulse on an object is given by [tex]\mathrm{[impulse]}=F\Delta t[/tex].
However, it's also given as change in momentum (impulse-momentum theorem).
Therefore, we can set the change in momentum equal to the former formula for impulse:

A basketball is picked up off the ground and carried to the top of a platform that is 160 feet up. It is then dropped to the ground. The ball rebounds one-half the height each time it hits the ground. What is the total vertical distance the ball will travel from the moment it is picked up to the moment it reaches its maximum height after the fourth bounce
Answer:
Explanation:
The total distance travelled by ball before first bounce
= 160 + 160 = 320 ft
Distance travelled between first bounce and second bounce
= 80 + 80 = 160 ft
Distance travelled between second bounce and third bounce
= 40 + 40 = 80 ft
Distance travelled between third bounce and fourth bounce
= 20 + 20 = 40 ft .
Distance travelled in fourth bounce = 10 ft
Total distance travelled = 320 + 160 + 80 + 40 + 10
= 610 ft .

When the bus is towing a 330-kg small car, how long distance needed to reach same Vf? b) If the Vf of the bus is 28 m/s, what is the tension in the tow cable between bus and small car?
Answer:
Given : A bus of mass 760 kg requires 120 m to reach certain velocity value Vf.
the bus engine exerts a constant forward force F.
To Find : When the bus is towing a 330-kg small car, how long distance needed to reach same Vf?
Solution:
V² - U² = 2aS
V = Vf
U = 0
S = 120 m
=> Vf² - 0 = 2a(120)
=> Vf² = 240a
m = 760 kg
Force = F
F = ma
=> F =760 a
=> a = F/760
Vf² = 240F/760
Case 2 :When the bus is towing a 330-kg small car,
m = 760 + 330 = 1090 kg
a = F/1090
Vf² = 2aS
=> 240F/760 = 2 (F/1090) S
=> S = 120 x 1090 /760
=> S = 172.1 m
172.1 m distance needed to reach same Vf
