Hatshy [7]
Think of it like a graph. You start at the origin which is (0,0).  go three to the east which now you are (3,0). Then, six to the north. Now, you are at (3,6).  1 to the east, ((4,6).  Then you go 4 to the west which is back tracking. So, you end at (0,6) which is saying you are now 6 km north from your campsite. 

Hope this helps!

If two parallel conductors are both free to move and are carrying current in the same direction, what would happen if the curren
pishuonlain [190]

The wires would remain attracted to each other.

Option D.

Explanation:

It is known that magnetic flux will be generated in conductors with varying emf. So when current is flowing in two parallel conductors, the magnetic flux will be generated in those wires. If the current is flowing in same direction in both the wires, then the magnetic flux will be generated towards inside and outside the wires. Thus, the wire will get attracted to each other till the time the current is flowing in the same direction in both the wires. So if the current flow in each wire was reversed at the same time, then the wire would remain attracted to each other.

When a hammer thrower releases her ball, she is aiming to maximize the distance from the starting ring. Assume she releases the
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The angular velocity is 15.37 rad/s

Solution:

As per the question:

\theta = 54.6^{\circ}

Horizontal distance, x = 30.1 m

Distance of the ball from the rotation axis is its radius, R = 1.15 m

Now,

To calculate the angular velocity:

Linear velocity, v = \sqrt{\frac{gx}{sin2\theta}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{294.98}{sin109.2^{\circ}}} = 17.67\ m/s

Now,

The angular velocity can be calculated as:

v = \omega R

Thus

\omega = \frac{v}{R} = \frac{17.67}{1.15} = 15.37\ rad/s

6. A student notices that when a weight is hung on a spring, the spring stretches. She decides conduct an experiment to determin
natima [27]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

She says that the object of the experiment is to see how far the string stretches given a mass attached to the string.

The only thing that is at issue is either the mass or the amount the string stretches.

Nothing else matters.

The dependent variable therefore is the amount the string stretches. So the last choice is the answer.

A gas is compressed from an initial volume of 5.55 L to a final volume of 1.22 L by an external pressure of 1.00 atm. During the
algol13

Answer:

Explanation:

change in the volume of the gas = 5.55 - 1.22

= 4.33 X 10⁻³ m³

external pressure ( constant ) P = 1 x 10⁵ Pa

work done on the gas

=external pressure x change in volume

= 10⁵ x  4.33 X 10⁻³

=4.33 x 10²

433 J

Using the formula

Q = ΔE + W , Q is heat added , ΔE is change in internal energy , W is work done by the gas

Given

Q = - 124 J ( heat is released so negative )

W = - 433 J . ( work done by gas is negative, because it is done on gas  )

- 124  = ΔE - 433

ΔE = 433  - 124

= 309 J

There is increase of 309 J in the internal energy of the gas.
