Answer: option 1 : the electric potential will decrease with an increase in y

Explanation: The electric potential (V) is related to distance (in this case y) by the formulae below

V = kq/y

Where k = 1/4πε0

Where V = electric potential,

k = electric constant = 9×10^9,

y = distance of potential relative to a reference point, ε0 = permittivity of free space

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609×10^-19 c

From the formulae, we can see that q and k are constants, only potential (V) and distance (y) are variables.

We have that

V = k/y

We see the potential(V) is inversely proportional to distance (y).

This implies that an increase in distance results to a decreasing potential and a decrease in distance results to an increase in potential.

This fact makes option 1 the correct answer

How do Newton's laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can
lord [1]

Answer:

I'm not sure..but please refer to your teacher later.

Answer: Based on Newton's First law of motion (where inertia is involved), smooth ice increases the forceused to accelerate the hockey puck.

Explanation;

  • smooth ice reduces the resistances between the surface of the figure skates and the ice itself.
  • based on inertia theory ; the heavier the weight, the larger the inertia.. which explains it takes alot of force to move a heavier object than the lighter ones.. it also hard to *stop* the motion of heavier objects than the lighter ones.
  • now let's look at the design of the player shoe itself, they have a sharp blade at the bottom of the figure stakes.. which takes us to the law of the force.. the smaller the surface area, the more forces acting on it. So, players force (weight, F= mg) acts on the tip of the blade and on the ice
  • high inertia (run fast) and high force (attack opponent and pass puck) enables them to perform well in playing hockey
  • Thus if there's no resistance and the inertia of the player is high then they could run and pass the puck quickly

A pulley system lifts a 1345 n weight a distance of 0.975m. Paul pulls the rope a distance of 3.90m, exerting a force of 375N. A
Rashid [163]

A. IMA: 4

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) is given by:

IMA = \frac{d_i}{d_o}

where

d_i is the input distance

d_o is the output distance

For the pulley system in this problem, d_i = 3.90 m and d_o = 0.975 m, so the IMA is

IMA=\frac{3.90 m}{0.975 m}=4


B. MA: 3.59

The actual mechanical advantage (AMA), or simply the Mechanical Advantage (MA), is given by

MA=\frac{F_o}{F_i}

where F_o is the output force and F_i is the input force. For the pulley system in this problem, F_i = 375 N and F_o = 1345 N, so the MA is

MA=\frac{1345 N}{375 N}=3.59


C. Efficiency: 89.8 %

The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio between the MA and the AMA:

\eta = \frac{MA}{AMA} \cdot 100

Therefore, in this case,

\eta=\frac{3.59}{4}\cdot 100=0.898=89.8 \%

Type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. anne has a sample of a substance. its volume is 20 cm3, and i
CaHeK987 [17]

The density of sample is 5 g/cm3

Given:

volume of sample = 20 cm3

mass of sample = 100 grams

To Find:

density of sample

Solution: Density is the measure of how much “stuff” is in a given amount of space. For example, a block of the heavier element lead (Pb) will be denser than the softer, lighter element gold (Au). A block of Styrofoam is less dense than a brick. It is defined as mass per unit volume

density = mass/volume

d = 100/20

d = 5 g/cm3

So, density of sample is 5 g/cm3

What mean by expansion effect of heat<br>​
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

-Cambio de temperatura

Al calentar un cuerpo la temperatura aumenta

Es el efecto más inmediato del calor, el aumento de la temperatura. Al calentar un cuerpo, es habitual, aunque no siempre, que el cuerpo aumente de temperatura. El aumento dependerá de la cantidad de calor que se suministra, del tipo de sustancia y de su cantidad.

-Dilatación

Cuando un objeto se calienta, su volumen aumenta. Este fenómeno se llama dilatación térmica. Por el contrario, cuando un objeto se enfría, su volumen disminuye, debido a la contracción térmica.

Cuando se calienta un cuerpo, además de cambiar de estado o variar su temperatura, también cambia su tamaño, se dilata.

Por ejemplo, los puentes no se construyen de una única pieza, sino que suelen presentar uno o varios cortes longitudinales, las llamadas juntas de dilatación. Si no existieran esas juntas, los cambios de longitud del puente entre el invierno y el verano o entre el día y la noche acabarían por romperlo.

La dilatación de un cuerpo dependerá del aumento de temperatura que experimente, de su tamaño y de la sustancia de que esté hecho. Cuanto más aumente la temperatura más aumentará su tamaño, lo mismo que cuanto mayor sea, mayor se hará.

Todos los cuerpos, ya sean sólidos, líquidos o gaseosos, varían su tamaño cuando intercambian calor con otro cuerpo.

-Cambios de estado:

Si una sustancia modifica el estado de sólido, líquido o gaseoso, se produce un cambio de estado. Un cambio de estado es una modificación en la forma en que se disponen las partículas que constituyen una sustancia.

El estado en que se encuentre un cuerpo depende de la presión a la que está sometido y de su temperatura. Para cambiar su estado se debe modificar alguna de estas variables, o ambas. Al elevar la temperatura de una sustancia sólida, aumenta la agitación de sus partículas.
