Answer:

15: Animals are able to detect the first of an earthquake's seismic waves—the P-wave, or pressure wave, that arrives in advance of the S-wave, or secondary, shaking wave. This likely explains why animals have been seen snapping to attention, acting confused or running right before the ground starts to shake.

16: No, it is not even remotely true. Microwaves cook food from the outside in, just like a regular oven. In fact, most of the cooking on the inside of the food, depending on its thickness, is done by heat conduction from the outside surfaces inwards, as the microwaves do not actually penetrate that far into the food.

Answer:

0.500 T

Explanation:

Since the change in time and the number of coils are both 1, I set the problem up to be 1.3=(1.5(x)-13(x)). I then plugged in numbers for x until I got the answer to be 1.3 V.

A 50.0 kg crate is pulled 375 N of force applied to a rope. The crate slides without friction.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Hi there!

We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.

Recall that:

$\large\boxed{W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2}$

The initial kinetic energy is 0 J because the crate begins from rest, so we can plug in the given values for mass and final velocity:

$W = \frac{1}{2}(50)(5.61^2) = 786.8025 J$

Now, we can define work:

$\large\boxed{W = Fdcos\theta}}$

Now, plug in the values:

$786.8025 = Fdcos\theta\\\\786.8025 = (375)(3.07)cos\theta$

Solve for theta:

$cos\theta = .6834\\\theta = cos^{-1}(.6834) = \boxed{46.887^o}$

1. Consider the point exactly halfway between the two wires. Can you adjust the current so that, with current passing through ea

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is missing part of the question

answer:

1 ) Magnetic field due to long current carrying wire : $B = \frac{U_{0} I}{2\pi d}$

Therefore the net magnetic field due the both wires ; B = B $_{1}$ + B $_{2}$ . when we adjust the current I $_{1}$ = I $_{2}$ then the Netfield (B ) = zero

2) The distance between the field lines are not equally spaced and this is because the separation between field lines increases with the increase in the distance between the wires

3) Increase in current through the wire will lead to increase in force and this can be explained via this equation

$F = \frac{U_{0}I_{1}I_{2} }{2\pi d }$
