The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:
Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth
Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat
Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.
-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>
-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.
There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.
Answer:
6370 J
Explanation:
By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m
where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference
Answer:
B
Explanation:
They are all one-dimensional

The ideal gas law is
PV=nRT
where
P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = number of moles of gas particles
R = Ideal gas constant
T = Absolute temperature
Since n and R will remain constant, let's divide both sides of the equation by T, getting
PV=nRT
PV/T=nR
Since the initial value of PV/T will be equal to the final value of PV/T let's set them equal to each other with the equation
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
where
P1, V1, T1 = Initial pressure, volume, temperature
P2, V2, T2 = Final pressure, volume, temperature
Now convert the temperatures to absolute temperature by adding 273.15 to both of them.
T1 = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15
T2 = 157 + 273.15 = 430.15
Substitute the known values into the equation
1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15
And solve for P2
1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15
430.15 * 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48
64522500*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48
48391875/300.15 = P2*0.48
161225.6372 = P2*0.48
161225.6372/0.48 = P2
335886.7441 = P2
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 3.36x10^5 Pascals.
(technically, I should round to 2 significant figures for the result of 3.4x10^5 Pascals, but given the precision of the volumes, I suspect that the extra 0 in the initial pressure was accidentally omitted. It should have been 1.50e5 instead of 1.5e5).</span>
Newton's second law states that Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the object's acceleration. You have the values for Fnet and a, so you simply use this equation to solve for m, mass.
