Acceleration is a vector quantity which means that it concerns about the direction and the velocity. Thus, the question above may be answered by two of the choices. Those are letter "C. direction" and letter "D. displacement".

Suppose that when you move the north pole of a bar magnetic toward a coil it induces a positive current in the coil. The strengt

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a) A positive current will be induced in the coil

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the induction of an electric field on a conductor due to a changing magnetic field flux. The change in the flux can be by moving the magnet relative to the conductor, or by changing the intensity of the magnetic field of the magnet. In the case of this electromagnets, the gradual increase in the the electromagnet's field strength will cause a flux change, which will in turn induce an electric current on the coil.

According to Lenz law, the induced current acts in such a way as to negate the motion or action that is producing it. A positive current will be induced on the coil so as to repel any form of attraction between the north pole of the electromagnet and the coil. This law obeys the law of conservation of energy, since work has to be done to move the move them closer to themselves.

Refrigerators are usually kept at about 5∘C, while room temperature is about 20∘C. If you were to take an "empty" sealed 2-liter

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The volume will not contract to one fourth of the original.

Explanation:

Applying Charles's Law as:

$\frac {V_1}{T_1}=\frac {V_2}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = ?

V₂ = 2 L

T₁ = 5 °C

T₂ = 20 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (5 + 273.15) K = 278.15 K

T₂ = (20 + 273.15) K = 293.15 K

Using Charles law as:

$V_1=\frac {V_2}{T_2} \times {T_1}$

$V_1=\frac {2\ L}{293.15 K} \times {278.15 K}$

$V_1=1.8977 L$

Thus, the volume will not contract to one fourth of the original. (1/4 of 2 L is 0.5 L).

What is the final velocity of a car that is originally traveling 12 m/s and then undergoes an acceleration of 2.3m/s squared for

Katarina [22]

To solve this problem we use the general kinetic equations.

We need to know the time it takes for the car to reach 130 meters.

In this way we have to:

$x(t) = x_0 + v_0t + 0.5at ^ 2$

Where

$x_0$ = initial position

$v_0$ = initial velocity

$a$ = acceleration

$t$ = time

$x(t)$ = position as a function of time

$130 = 0 + 12(t) + 0.5(2.3)t ^ 2$

$1.15t ^ 2 + 12t - 130$ .

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation.

$t = \frac{-12 \± \sqrt {(12) ^ 2-4(1.15)(- 130)}}{2 (1.15)}$

t = 6.63 s and t = -17.1 s

We take the positive solution. This means that the car takes 6.63 s to reach 130 meters.

Then we use the following equation to find the final velocity:

$v_f = v_0 + at$

Where:

$v_f$ = final speed

$v_f = 12 +2.23(6.63)$

The final speed of the car is 27.25 m/s

What force is described as the attraction between a sample of matter and all other matter in the universe?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Gravitational Force

Explanation:

Gravitational force also called gravity or gravitation is an attractive force that keeps two objects in space. Gravitational force is an attractive force that tends to pull matters together. Every objects in the universe experience gravitational pull. Planets, stars, galaxies, are held together by gravity. It is a weak force. The weight of an object is the product of gravitational force acting on its mass.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states the force of attraction between two masses m₁ and m₂ in the universe is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

$F = G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where;

F is the gravitational force,

G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10¹¹ m³/kg/s,

m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects,

r is the distance between the centers of the masses
