Describe the energy transformations that take place when a skier starts skiing down a hill but after a time is brought to rest b

y striking a snowdrift

Andrews [41]4 years ago

<span>The skier will transform their gravitational energy into mostly kinetic energy (with a minor amount transformed into heat from the friction of the skis across the snow and air friction). Once the skier hits the snowdrift, their kinetic energy is transferred into the snow which moves when they strike it due to the kinetic energy that is now in the snow. Along with again a minor amount of heat energy transferred as they move through the snowdrift.</span>

The vertical component of the magnetic induction in the Earth's magnetic field at Hobart is approximately 6×10-5T upward. What e
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field B = 6 X 10⁻⁵ T.

Width of car = L (Let )

Velocity of car v  = 100 km/h

= 27.78 m /s

induced emf across the body ( width )  of the car

= BLv

= 6 X 10⁻⁵ L X 27.78

166.68 X 10⁻⁵ L

Induced electric field across the width

= emf induced / L

E =  166.68 X 10⁻⁵ N/C

We suppose breadth of a typical car = 1.5 m

potential difference induced

= 166.68 x 1.5 x 10⁻⁵

250 x 10⁻⁵ V

= 2.5 milli volt.

The side of the car which is positively charged depends on the direction in which car is moving , whether it is moving towards the north or south.

Explain the factors that affect capillary action
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The height to which capillary action will take water in a uniform circular tube (picture is up) is limited by surface tension and, of course, gravity.

Concrete has a density of 2400kg/m3. Calculate the mass of 150m3 of concrete in kilograms
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

360,000

Explanation:

This is because the density is per kilogram so you would just multiply 2400 by 150 to give you 360000.

2400*150=360,000
