Answer:

Case A

Explanation:

given,

size of bacteria = 1 mm x 1 mm

velocity = 20 mm/s

size of the swimmer = 1.5 m x 1.5 m

velocity of swimmer = 3 m/s

Viscous force

F = \eta A \dfrac{dv}{dx}

for the bacteria

F = \eta \times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-3}

F =2\times 10^{-8} \eta\ N

for the swimmer

F = \eta \times 1.5^2\times 3

F =6.75 \eta\ N

from the above force calculation

In case B inertial force that represent mass is more than the inertial force in case of bacteria.

Viscous force is dominant in case of bacteria.

So, In Case A viscous force will be dominant.

Bumek [7]

Explanation:

Since, it is mentioned the there occurs no change in the temperature. This also means that there will occur no change in thermal energy of the system.

Hence, \Delta E = 0. And, as \Delta E = 0 then there will be no work involved. This means that total energy added to the house will return to the outside air as heat.

Therefore,

                   Q = -(19000 J + 2000 J)

                       = -21000 J

or,    |Q| = 21000 J

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the energy transfer between the house and the outside air is 21000 J.

Which of the following scenarios will cause the current to stop flowing within a circuit?
Lelechka [254]
C is correct. Only a closed circuit can carry current, opening a switch disconnects the circuit and stops current from flowing. Remember, all current flows in loops, if you can't make a loop out of it, current can't flow, and opening a switch, assuming no other paths for current exist, will completely stop the current.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

When iron rusts - in the presence of moisture and oxygen - iron-oxide is formed. Iron oxide is nothing but a compound of iron and oxygen. There is an increase in the mass of the iron equal to the mass of oxygen that has gone into forming the rust.

An woman whose weight is 804 N stands on a long horizontal plank of wood 1.55 m from one end. The plank is uniform and is suppor
meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be reaction force by  each vertical post on horizontal plank . Let it be R₁ and R₂ . R₁ is reaction force by the post nearer to woman

Taking torque of all forces about the end far away from the woman

Torque by reaction force = R₁ x 5.5

= 5.5 R₁ upwards

Torque by weight of woman in opposite direction , downwards

= - 804 x ( 5.5 - 1.55 )

= - 3175.8

Torque by weight of the plank in opposite direction , downwards .

= - 27 x 5.5 / 2

= - 74.25

Torque by R₂ will be zero as it passes through the point about which torque is being taken .

Total torque

= 5.5 R₁ - - 3175.8 - - 74.25  = 0 ( For equilibrium )

5.5 R₁ = 3250

R₁ = 590.9 N .
