Water makes a good coolant because it has a ____.

2 answers:

8 0

Water makes a good coolant because it has a (A) high specific heat. The higher the specific heat, the slower it reaches the point of boiling. Thus, since its specific is very high, then it makes a good coolant because the moment it reaches it lowest point, the transition from cold to hot will be slower.

A good coolant must be able to absorb large amount of heat, must be cheap and easily available. we know that water has high specific heat which means that it can absorb large amount of heat in it. it is also easily available and cheap. This makes water a good coolant. So the correct choice is

a. high specific heat

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

$m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_A=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m$

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

$m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_B=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m$

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

$d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m$

A flat coil of wire consisting of 15 turns, each with an area of 40 cm 2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fi

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

0.54 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of turns, N = 15

Area of coil, A = 40 cm² = 0.004 m²

Change in magnetic field, ΔB = 5.1 - 1.5 = 3.6 T

Time interval, Δt = 2 secs

Resistance of the coil, R = 0.2 ohms

To get the magnitude of the current, we have to first find the magnitude of the EMF induced in the coil:

|V| = |(-N * ΔB * A) /Δt)

|V| = | (-15 * 3.6 * 0.004) / 2 |

|V| = 0.108 V

According to Ohm's law:

|V| = |I| * R

|I| = |V| / R

|I| = 0.108 / 0.2

|I| = 0.54 A

The magnitude of the current in the coil of wire is 0.54 A
