Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there. 

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different.  But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.

Solution A has a specific heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a specific heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

Q=m.c.\Delta T.....................................(1)

where:

  • \Delta T= temperature difference
  • Q= heat energy
  • m= mass of the body
  • c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

  • we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. m_A=m_B
  • equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. Q_A=Q_B
  • specific heat of solution A, c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • specific heat of solution B, c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • \Delta T_A & \Delta T_B are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

Q_A=Q_B

m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.

A single circular loop of wire of radius 0.75 m carries a constant current of 3.0 A. The loop may be rotated about an axis that
NISA [10]

Answer:

B = 0.8 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular loop, r = 0.75 m

Current in the loop, I = 3 A

The loop may be rotated about an axis that passes through the center and lies in the plane of the loop.

When the orientation of the normal to the loop with respect to the direction of the magnetic field is 25°, the torque on the coil is 1.8 Nm.

We need to find the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop. Torque acting on the loop is given by :

\tau=NIAB\sin\theta

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{\tau}{NIA\sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{1.8}{1\times \pi \times (0.75)^2\times 3\times \sin(25)}\\\\B=0.8\ T

So, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop is 0.8 T.

Linear momentum has to be conserved. It was zero before the thread eas burned ... when nothing was moving ... so the momentum of the masses moving in opposite directions has to add up to zero. ... Momentum = mass times speed. ... In one direction, you have 5 kg times 1/5 m/s= 1 kg-m/s. ... We need 1 kg-m/s in the other direction. ... 7 kg times speed = 1 kg-m/s. ... Can you finish it from here ?

What happens to acceleration if forces are balanced
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

No acceleration.

Explanation:

If the forces are Balanced it means they are in equilibrium and there will be  no net force, therefore the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.
