Velocity = Distance / Time

Distance is given to be 80 meters

Time is given to be 4 seconds

Velocity = 80 meters / 4 seconds = 20 meters / second

Answer:

The maximum temperature rise = 0.047 °C

Explanation:

Potential Energy, P = mgh

Energy transfered, Q=mcΔT

Potential energy = Energy transfered

mgh = mcΔT

gh = cΔT

ΔT = gh/c

ΔT = (9.81 * 20) / 4186

ΔT = 0.047 °C

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

$a_t = R\alpha$

2) Centripetal acceleration

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

here we know that

$\omega = \alpha t$

$a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R$

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}$

so we have

$a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}$

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

Recall that the blocks can only move along the x axis. the x components of their velocities at a certain moment are v1x and v2x.

Contact [7]

The center of mass is given with this formula:
$x_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i}{M}$
Velocity is:
$v=\frac{dv}{dt}$
So, for the velocity of the center of mass we have:
$\frac{dx_c}{dt}=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}d(m_ix_i)}{Mdt}\\
v_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}p_i}{M}\\$
In our case it is:
$v_{xc}=\frac{m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}}{m_1+m_2}$

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets

zimovet [89]

The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

Answer:

dam/hydro power

Explanation:

estuary is the place where rivers meet the ocean, there are a lot of currents there (waves...) so it likely means thery use a dam or some sort of way of collecting electricity from the motion of the water there. many birds live in estuaries because of being able to find fish to feed from
