Final answer:

Temperature affects the evaporation rate of water as higher temperatures provide more energy for evaporation. This phenomenon is exemplified by perspiration from the skin which requires more heat input than the latent heat of vaporization at 100 °C, showcasing an effective cooling mechanism in hot weather.

Explanation:

Temperature affects the evaporation rate of water. The higher the temperature, the faster the water molecules move, and the more likely they are to escape and evaporate. This is because the kinetic energy of water molecules increases with temperature, providing more energy for evaporation.

For example, at body temperature, perspiration from the skin requires more heat input than the latent heat of vaporization at 100 °C. This heat comes from the skin, resulting in an effective cooling mechanism in hot weather.

However, it's important to note that temperature is not the only factor that affects evaporation. Other factors like humidity and surface area of contact between air and water also play a role.

Answer:

amber

Explanation:

The term "electric" was coined from the word amber. This was when the Greeks found out that many materials become electric when they were rubbed with certain electric materials. In fact, there were two types of electric charge.

When amber was rubbed with fur, the material possessed what was known as resinous electricity. On the other hand, when the material was rubbed against silk, it acquired what was known as vitreous electricity.

Thus, it was thought that electricity was produced by friction of amber.

B. Bourdon gage—indicate steam pressure in a furnace

Explanation;

-Bourdon gauge is an instrument for measuring the pressure of gases or liquids, consisting of a semicircular or coiled, flexible metal tube attached to a gauge that records the degree to which the tube is straightened by the pressure of the gas or liquid inside.

-The Bourdon pressure gauge operates on the principle that, when pressurized, a flattened tube tends to straighten or regain its circular form in cross-section.

-When a gauge is pressurized, the Bourdon creates the dial tip travel to enable pressure measurement. The higher the pressure requirement of the application, the stiffer the Bourdon tube needs to be, which means Bourdon wall thickness and diameter are key considerations for enabling the required tip travel to traverse the necessary movement and, thus, facilitate pressure measurement accuracy.

Answer: B. magnetic field

Explanation:

Wind blows when there is difference in air pressure i.e. in the area having pressure gradient, wind blows from high pressure area to low pressure area. Force of friction slows the speed of the wind. Thus it is responsible for motion of air. Coriolis effect causes the circular motion of the air. The Coriolis effect changes the direction of the wind.

Thus, from the given options, only the magnetic field does not influence the wind. Magnetic field effects the charged particles or magnetic materials not the wind.  

C. +Q, +W

----- apex :)

Final answer:

The correct signs of heat and work when a balloon expands due to heating are +Q for heat absorbed by the gas and -W for work done by the gas on the surroundings, making the correct option A. +Q, -W.

Explanation:

When the gas in a balloon is heated, it expands and does work on its surroundings. According to thermodynamic conventions, when a system (like the gas in a balloon) does work on its surroundings, this work is assigned a negative sign (W < 0). Simultaneously, as the gas is heated, it absorbs heat (Q > 0), which is indicated by a positive sign. Therefore, the correct signs for heat and work for the expanding balloon are +Q for heat absorbed and -W for work done by the gas on its surroundings. The answer that correctly represents these signs is A. +Q, -W.

To calculate the mass of water that evaporates, we apply energy conservation between the heated iron block and the water. Heat transfers from the iron to the water until the water boils and some evaporates. Specific heat capacities and latent heat values are needed for a numerical solution.

To calculate the mass of water that boiled off when a 5kg block of iron is heated to 800℃ and placed in a tub containing 2 liters of water at 15℃, we apply the concept of conservation of energy. The heat lost by the iron block will be equal to the heat gained by the water, which will result in water reaching its boiling point and some of it evaporating. The specific heat capacity of water, the heat of vaporization of water, and the specific heat capacity of iron are crucial to these calculations.

We can denote the mass of water that evaporates as m, and calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of the remaining water from 15℃ to 100℃ and convert the m grams of water at 100℃ into steam. However, we need additional data such as the specific heat capacities and the latent heat of vaporization for water to provide a concrete answer. Without the specific values, we can only describe the methodology.

Final answer:

To find the velocity of a quarter dropped from a tower after 10 seconds, we use the formula for velocity in free fall, resulting in a final velocity of 100 m/s.

Explanation:

The question is about determining the velocity of a quarter dropped from a tower after 10 seconds. To solve this, we use the formula for velocity in free fall, v = gt, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximated as 10 m/s²) and t is the time in seconds. In this case, after 10 seconds, the velocity can be calculated as follows:

g = 10 m/s² (approximation of the acceleration due to gravity)

t = 10 seconds

Substitute the values into the formula: v = gt = 10 m/s² × 10 s = 100 m/s.

Therefore, the velocity of the quarter after falling for 10 seconds is 100 m/s.

The acceleration of air when you sneeze, accelerating from rest to approximately 44.44 m/s (160 km/hr) in about 0.55 seconds, is 80.8 m/s².

When you sneeze, the air in your lungs accelerates from rest to approximately 160 km/hr, which is equal to ≈ 44.44 m/s (since 1 km/hr is equivalent to ≈ 0.27778 m/s). To find the acceleration of the air, we use the formula:

a = (v - u) / t

Where a is acceleration, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity (which is 0 m/s in this case, as the air starts from rest), and t is the time over which acceleration occurs. Plugging in the values gives us:

a = (44.44 m/s - 0 m/s) / 0.55 s = 80.8 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the air in m/s² when you sneeze is 80.8 m/s².

The density of a marble block with a mass of 824 g and volume of 236 cm³ is calculated by dividing mass by volume, resulting in approximately 3.4915 g/cm³.

Explanation:

The density of an object can be calculated using the formula density = mass/volume. In this case, we are given that the mass of the block of marble is 824 grams and it occupies a volume of 236 cm³. To find the density in units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), we simply divide the mass by the volume.
Using the formula:

Density = mass / volume

Density = 824 g / 236 cm³

Density = 3.4915 g/cm³ (rounded to four decimal places)

Therefore, the density of the marble block is approximately 3.4915 g/cm³.

Answer:

The moving car transfers Kinetic Energy to the parked car

Explanation:

Options are not supplied here but I have previously answered this question in a test and these options were supplied.

A) The moving car transfers kinetic energy to the parked car.

B) Kinetic energy in the moving car disappears.

C) Kinetic energy in the parked car is created.

D) The parked car transfers kinetic energy to the moving car.

A) This option provides us with the true outcome, the moving car transfers Kinetic energy to the parked car. This is in agreement with the law of conservation of energy. A transference of energy is the outcome of this event.

B) Kinetic energy cannot disappear, this is because according to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

If energy disappears, this would imply that energy is destroyed which is not agreeable.

C) Kinetic energy in the parked car is created... Just like the option B above, and according to the above stated law, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is also not agreeable here that energy is created.

D) Energy can be transferred but, "a parked car indicates that the car only has potential energy" and as such cannot transfer kinetic energy to the moving car since it does not possess kinetic energy.

Final answer:

The problem is a high school level physics kinematics question. It requires setting up two kinematic equations representing the motion of both cyclists and solving for the time when the second cyclist catches up.

Explanation:

The student is asking about the time it will take for a second cyclist to catch up to the leader in a race, given the leader's constant velocity and the second-place cyclist's velocity and acceleration. This is a physics problem involving kinematics, specifically equations of motion.

To solve this problem, you need to set the distances traveled by both cyclists equal to each other and solve for time. Since the first cyclist is moving at a constant velocity, the distance he travels can be represented by d1 = v1*t, where d1 is the distance, v1 is the velocity, and t is time. For the second cyclist with acceleration, you can use the formula d2 = v2*t + 0.5*a*t2, where d2 is the distance, v2 is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

Since the second cyclist has to cover an additional 11.4 m to catch up, we modify the equation for d2 to d2 = v2*t + 0.5*a*t2 + 11.4. Now you set d1 equal to d2 and solve for t using quadratic formula or other methods to find when both distances are the same, indicating the second cyclist has caught up.

Answer: the boat is more dense in salt water

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is not inversely proportional to the net force; it is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

The statement that the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the net force acting on it is false. According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This law is often expressed with the formula a = F/m, where a is acceleration, F is the net force, and m is the mass of the object.

The acceleration of a car moving along a straight-line path that increases its speed from zero to 100 km/hr in 10 seconds would be 2.77 m /s² .

There are three equations of motion given by  Newton

v = u + at

S = ut + 1/2×a×t²

v² - u² = 2×a×s

As given in the problem, we have to find  the acceleration of a car moving along a straight-line path that increases its speed from zero to 100 km/hr in 10 seconds,

100 km / hr = 100 × 1000 / 3600

                   = 27.77 m / s

By using the first equation of the motion,

v = u + at

27.77 = 0 + 10a

a = 2.77 m /s²

Thus, the acceleration would be 2.77 m /s².
