Answer:

The increase in thermal energy results in an increase in pressure.

Explanation:

From what i remember learning in high school, this is definitely the answer.

Answer:

The increase in thermal energy results in an increase in pressure.

Explanation:

The increase in entropy is directly related to the increase in temperature. So the thermal energy in heat engine increases the temperature of that surrounding.
Higher temperature means the kinetic energy of particles is also higher, their vibration is increasing. So it increases the pressure (ideal gas law).
In this way the increment in the thermal energy in heat engine moves piston by increasing the pressure.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The magnitude of angular acceleration is $232.38\ rad/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular velocity, $\omega_i=3500\ rev/min=366.5\ rad/s$

When it switched off, it comes o rest, $\omega_f=0$

Number of revolution, $\theta=46=289.02\ rad$

We need to find the magnitude of angular acceleration. It can be calculated using third equation of rotational kinematics as :

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-(366.51)^2}{2\times 289.02}\\\\\alpha =-232.38\ rad/s^2$

So, the magnitude of angular acceleration is $232.38\ rad/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of The following are classiFcatons describing how rock and oTher maTerial movedownslope?a. Fall, b. slide, c. slump, d. cr

nlexa [21]

Answer:

correct answer is Fall slide, slump, creep, flow

Explanation:

solution

we know that Movement of particle under the influence of gravity

so rock and other material move down as gravity.

first rock particle fall down because falls occur very rapidly with high slope after that they slide on the slope and after sliding they slump and it occurs when the rupture surface is curved after slump process they creep.

after creeping, it can flow particle as it occurs slowly with the low slope with water.

so correct answer is Fall slide, slump, creep, flow

Explain newtons law of motion applied in this game

kirill [66]

Newton’s first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

Newton’s second law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.

Newton’s third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction. This law is important in analyzing problems of static equilibrium, where all forces are balanced, but it also applies to bodies in uniform or accelerated motion.

The first law represented in the game would be the candy. If you blow it, it would move but then stop due to friction.

The second law would be represented by blowing the candy. Since the candy was light, it would be easier to blow but if it was heavier, it would be a lot harder.

The final law represented in the game would be if you decided to blow the candy with a ballon instead, the candy would move the opposite direction the ballon is moving.

During the process of _____, two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand.

netineya [11]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.

The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.

This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that

Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull
