Answer:

a true

Explanation:

Water has the high specific heat capacity.

That means it resists to change its temperature when a considerable amount of heat lost or gained

4200J is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg substance by 1 degree Celsius

A car is traveling at a velocity of 13.5 m/sec (30 mph) north on a straight road. The mass of the car is 1,000 kg. Calculate the
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

<em> The momentum of the body would be 13500 kg .m/sec</em>

Explanation:

What Momentum Entails

momentum is a property that is possed by all moving objects, it is a product of mass and velocity. A moving object has a magnitude which is the mass of the body and direction which is the  velocity towards a certain direction, so it is a vector quantity

Step by Step Calculation

The momentum of a body can be gotten from the expression below;

p = m x v

where p is the momentum

m is the mass of the body = 1000 kg

v is the velocity = 13.5 m/sec

Given these parameters our momentum would be;

p = 1000 kg x 13.5 m/sec

p = 13500 kg . m/sec

Therefore the momentum of the body would be 13500 kg. m/sec

A long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire. The wire has a charge
Alexxx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that, a long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire.

The charge per unit length of the wire is \lambda and the net charge per unit length is 2 \lambda.

We know that there exist zero electric field inside the metal cylinder.

(a) Using Gauss's law to find the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder. Let \lambda_i\ and\ \lambda_o are the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder.

For inner surface,

\phi=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

E.A=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

0=\dfrac{\lambda_i+\lambda}{\epsilon_o}

\lambda_i=-\lambda  

For outer surface,

\lambda_i+\lambda_o=2\lambda

-\lambda+\lambda_o=2\lambda

\lambda_o=3\lambda

(b) Let E is the electric field outside the cylinder, a distance r from the axis. It is given by :

E_o=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

E_o=\dfrac{3\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

Hence, this is the required solution.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s

final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s

time, t = 1 s

Let the acceleration is a.  

Use first equation of motion

v =  u + at

4 = 3 + 1 x a

a = 1 cm/s^2
