1. At the end of a marathon sweat covered runners are given a shiny foil sheet to stop them cooling down too quickly. a) Suggest why the runner may cool down too quickly without the foil sheet (1) b.) Explain how the foil sheet reduces heat loss(2)

Note consider what type of heat loss is occurring1a) key word suggest Runner covered in sweat, when this evaporates it will reduce surface temperature (1)b) key word explain, remember...

What is the evidence for the Big Bang theory?

Absorption spectra from distant galaxies consist of bands of coloured light crossed with black lines. The wavelengths of these black lines are shifted towards the red end of the spectrum when compared wit...

If a ball is thrown at a velocity of 5m/s, what height does it reach?

For this, we use the conservation of energy. We know that loss of kinetic energy = gain in potential energy, so KE = PE. Our equation is 0.5mv2 = mgh, but as we have m on bot...

If a box of mass 20kg is being pulled by a force of 50N, and the friction is 10N, what is the resulting acceleration of the box?

First, we resolve the forces. So, if we take the positive direction to be the direction in which it is pulled, we get a force of +50N, and the friction goes against the motion, so the force of friction is...

What is resistivity in S.I. units?

First, we know our equation for resistivity rho = RA/L. We know that L and A are in [m], which are already in SI units - however, [ohms] are not SI units. We do know, however, we know that R = V/I, and th...
