<h2>A. Coal</h2><h2 />

Coal produces half of the electricity in the United States.  Sadly, when coal is burned as fuel, it gives off carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas that is linked with global warming.

A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?
tia_tia [17]
Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

Have a nice day!

A spaceship whose rest length is 350m has a speed of .82c
igomit [66]

Answer:

t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s

t'=1.1897 μs

Explanation:

First we will calculate the velocity of micrometeorite relative to spaceship.

Formula:

u=\frac{u'+v}{1+\frac{u'*v}{c^{2}}}

where:

v is the velocity of spaceship relative to certain frame of reference =  -0.82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track).

u is the velocity of micrometeorite relative to same frame of reference as spaceship = .82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track)

u' is the relative velocity of micrometeorite with respect to spaceship.

In order to find u' , we can rewrite the above expression as:

u'=\frac{v-u}{\frac{u*v}{c^{2} }-1 }

u'=\frac{-0.82c-0.82c}{\frac{0.82c*(-0.82c)}{c^{2} }-1 }

u'=0.9806c

Time for micrometeorite to pass spaceship can be calculated as:

t'=\frac{length}{Relatie seed (u')}

t'=\frac{350}{0.9806c}     (c = 3*10^8 m/s)

t'=\frac{350}{0.9806* 3.0*10^{8} }

t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s

t'=1.1897 μs

A charged particle moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field.Which of the following would increase the period of the
Bond [772]

Answer:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Explanation:

For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:

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

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

m is the mass

r is the radius of the orbit

The period of the motion is

T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}

Re-arranging for r

r=\frac{Tv}{2\pi}

And substituting into the previous equation

qvB = m \frac{Tv^3}{2\pi}

Solving for T,

T=\frac{2\pi q B}{m v^2}

So we see that the period is:

- proportional to the charge and the magnetic field

- inversely proportional to the mass and the square of the speed

So the following will increase the period of the particle's motion:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Name human body organs where magnetism is significant
ser-zykov [4K]
It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.

7. Which best describes the energy change th pushes a large rock down a hill?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Gravitational Energy is the energy of position or place. A rock resting at the top of a hill contains gravitational Potential energy. Hydropower, such as water in a reservoir behind a dam, is an example of gravitational potential energy.
