When walking barefoot, Kevin can walk across the grass easily, but when he crosses the paved street, the street is hot and burns his feet. At the beach he walks quickly across the hot sand to the cool water. Why do some substances feel hot to his feet and others do not? Radiation is heat transfer through waves. Specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance 1 degree C.

American eels (anguilla rostrata) are freshwater fish with long, slender bodies that we can treat as uniform cylinders 1.0 m long and 10 cm in diameter. an eel compensates for its small jaw and teeth by holding onto prey with its mouth and then rapidly spinning its body around its long axis to tear off a piece of flesh. eels have been recorded to spin at up to 14 revolutions per second when feeding in this way. although this feeding method is costly in terms of energy, it allows the eel to feed on larger prey than it otherwise could. 1.a field researcher uses the slow-motion feature on her phones camera to shoot a video of an eel spinning at its maximum rate. the camera records at 120 frames per second. through what angle does the eel rotate from one frame to the next? 2. the eel is observed to spin at 14 spins per second clockwise, and 10 seconds later it is observed to spin at 8 spins per second counterclockwise. what is the magnitude of the eels average angular acceleration during this time? 3. the eel has a certain amount of rotational kinetic energy when spinning at 14 spins per second. if it swam in a straight line instead, about how fast would the eel have to swim to have the same amount of kinetic energy as when it is spinning? 4.a new species of eel is found to have the same mass but one-quarter the length and twice the diameter of the american eel. how does its moment of inertia for spinning around its long axis compare to that of the american eel?

While studying chemical reactions and conservation of matter, sarah's class conducted a variety of experiments. sarah and her lab partner found the mass of a wax candle and placed the candle in a flask. the students lit the candle and let it burn to completion. all that was left was wax and charred candle wick. per their teacher's instructions, the students found the mass of the products. their data can be seen in the data table. formulate a hypothesis the students could test to explain why the experiment did not support the law of conservation of matter. a) the students could repeat the experiment using different candles; there might have been a flaw in the candle. b) the experiment should be repeatable. the students should run several trials and then take an average of the after mass in each trial. c) the students should have someone in the class check their measurement skills as they repeat the experiment. they may have made an error using the balance. d) the students should burn the candle in a container that has some type of lid so that any gas that is a product of the reaction can be contained and massed. submit
