Answer: The correct answer is a hand is burned when touching a pot handle.

Explanation: There are 3 modes of heat transfer:

Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object.

Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

From the given options,

A hand is burned when touching a pot handle is an example of conduction because there is direct contact between the hand and pot handle.

jet is flying at 500 mph east relative to the ground. A Cessna is flying at 150 mph 60° north of west relative to the ground. Wh

Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. 590 mph

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of jet, $v_j=500\ mph$
direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
velocity of Cessna, $v_c=150\ mph$
direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

$\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph$

$\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)$

$\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

$\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c$

$\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )$

$\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}$

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$ is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

What do you think that astronomers mean when they use the term observable universe?

iren2701 [21]

The observable universe consists of galaxies and other matter that can, principally, be seen from Earth because the light signals have had time to reach us. Not everything in the sky is the way it is when we see it, because of the distance the light travels to reach us.

Five hundred million years ago, basaltic lava flowed in an area now known as Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson.

aev [14]

Explanation:

Igneous - metamorphic - sedimentary

A rock cycle provides the cyclic transformation of one rock type to another in nature.

There are three main types of rock involved in the rock cycle;

igneous rocks are derived from the cooling and solidification of molten magma
metamorphic rocks are changed rocks subjected to intense pressure and temperature
sedimentary rocks are derived from rock sediments that have been lithified.

The history of the rock in Monticello begins with igneous rock formation. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Under intense pressure and temperature regimes, they are changed to metamorphic rocks.

Agents of denudation such as wind, water and glacier weathers the rock and disintegrates it. They are then carried into basins where they are deposited. Here they form sedimentary rock.

The process still goes on as the sedimentary rock gets taken into depth, they can either melt to form igneous rock or be changed to metamorphic rocks.
