Three mountain climbers set out to climb a mountain from the same altitude and all arrive at the same location at the top. Mount

ain climber A took a long gradual slope to the top, B went a steeper but shorter path, and C tackled the sheer straight side to the top. Assume all three climbers have the same mass. Which climber gained the greatest potential energy?A. AB. BC. CD. all did the same amount of work

Answer:All did same amount of work

Explanation:

All three mountain climbers took different routes to reach the peak. There is a constant gravity force acting on the object i.e. gravity force. Gravity force is conservative i.e. work done by a conservative force is independent of the path followed.

Therefore work done by all the mountain climbers is the same i.e. all did the same amount of work.

A passenger train left station A at 6:00 p.m. Moving with the average speed 45 mph, it arrived at station B at 10:00 p.m. A tran

<h2>Average speed of transit train is 60 mph</h2>

Explanation:

Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph

Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours

Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.

Time taken from station A to station B for transit train = 4 - 1 = 3 hours

Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train

180 = Average speed of transit train x 3

Average speed of transit train = 60 mph

Average speed of transit train is 60 mph

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION

Vlad [161]

Answer: $7.95^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of water is $m_1=1\ kg$

mass of ice is $m_2=0.1\ kg$

Latent heat of fusion $L=3.33\times 10^5\ kJ/kg$

The heat capacity of water is $c_{w}=4186\ J/kg^{\circ}C$

Suppose water is at $T^{\circ} C$ and it reaches to $0^{\circ}C$ to melt the ice

the heat released by water must be equivalent to heat absorbed by the ice

$\therefore \quad m_1c_w(T-0)=m_2\times L\\\Rightarrow 1\times 4186\times T=0.1\times 3.33\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow T=7.95^{\circ}C$

If you shine a single light source on a screen you will see that the entire screen is lit up. Assume this light source is of a s

kompoz [17]

Answer:

An interference pattern.

Explanation:

When we have two light source of the same frequency turned on close to each other, the light emitted by them will interfere since light is also a wave. This means that an interference pattern will appear in a screen put ahead of them, that is, bands of light and darkness where the waves are interfering constructively and destructively.

A coil is wrapped with 332 turns of wire on the perimeter of a circular frame (of radius 30 cm). Each turn has the same area, eq

almond37 [142]

Answer:

$E=84.5V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of Turns $N=332turns$

Radius $r= 30cm$

Field Change $B=56mt-29mt=27mt$

Time $t=63ms$

Generally the equation for Magnetic Field is mathematically given by

$\frac{dB}{dt}=\frac{27*10^{-3}}{29*10^{-3}}$

$\frac{dB}{dt}=0.9T/s$

Generally the Flux at 332 turns is mathematically given by

$\phi=N*A*B$

Generally the equation for Area of coil is mathematically given by

$A=\pi*r^2$

$A=\pi*(r*10^{-2})^2$

Since

$\phi=332*\pi*(\theta*10^{-2})^2*B$

Therefore

$\frac{d \phi}{dt}=332*\pi*(900*10^{-4}*\frac{dB}{dt}$

Generally the equation for emf Magnitude is mathematically given by

$E=\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

$E=332*\pi*(900*10^{-4}*0.9$

$E=84.5V$
