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
Physics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]4 years ago
6 0
<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>

A circular wire loop of radius LaTeX: RR lies in the xy-plane with the z-axis running through its center. There is initially no
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a circular loop of radius R

r = R

Note: the radius lies in the xy plane

Area is given as

A = πr² = πR²

At t = 0, no magnetic field B=0

The magnetic field is given as a function of time

B = C•exp(t) •i + D•t² •k

Where C and D are constant

We want to find the magnitude of EMF in the circular loop.

EMF is given as

ε = - N•dΦ/dt

Where,

N is number of turn and in this case we will assume N = 1.

Φ is magnetic flux and it is given as

Φ = BA

ε = - N•d(BA)/dt

Where A is a constant, then we have

ε = - N•A•dB/dt

B = C•exp(t) •i + D•t² •k

dB/dt = C•exp(t) •i + 2D•t •k

Then,

ε = - N•A•dB/dt

ε = - 1•πR²•(C•exp(t) •i + 2D•t •k)

ε = -πR²•(C•exp(t) •i + 2D•t •k)

So, let find the magnitude of EMF

Generally finding magnitude of two vectors R = a•i + b•j

Then, |R| = √a² + b²

So, applying this we have,

ε = πR² (√(C²•exp(2t) + 4D²t²))

From the given magnetic field, we are given that,

B = 0 at t = 0

B = C•exp(t) •i + D•t² •k

B = 0 = C•exp(0) •i + D•0² •k

0 = C

Then, C = 0.

So, substituting this into the EMF.

ε = πR² (√(0²•exp(2t) + 4D²t²))

ε = πR² (√4D²t²)

ε = πR² × 2Dt

ε = 2πDR²t

So, the EMF is also a function of time

ε = 2πDR²t

Four model rockets are launched in a field. The mass of each rocket and the net force acting on it when it launches are given in
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Rocket 2 has highest acceleration.

Explanation:

Net force,

F = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

We have,

m₁ = 4.25 kg and F = 120 N

a_1=\dfrac{F_1}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{120}{4.25}\\\\a_1=28.23\ m/s^2

m₂ = 3.25 kg, F₂ = 120 N

a_2=\dfrac{F_2}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{120}{3.25}\\\\a_2=36.92\ m/s^2

m₃ = 5.5 kg, F₃ = 120 N

a_3=\dfrac{F_3}{m_3}\\\\a_3=\dfrac{120}{5.5}\\\\a_3=21.81\ m/s^2

m₄ = 4.5 kg, F₄ = 120 N

a_4=\dfrac{F_4}{m_4}\\\\a_4=\dfrac{120}{4.5}\\\\a_4=26.66\ m/s^2

Hence, it can be seen that the highest acceleration is of rocket 2.

Read the excerpt from Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Death by Black Hole.” Black holes are regions of space where the gravity is so high
kramer
<h2>Answer: a definition of the term black hole</h2>

This text is clearly a definition of the term black hole, made by the American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

However, the discussions about this subject are not new, since Einstein's theory of relativity already defined what a black hole is.

In this sense, a black hole is described as a "singularity" that consists of <u>a region of the space in which the density of matter tends to infinity.</u>

Although this is hard to find possible for classical physics; following what relativity establishes:<em> bodies within a gravitational field follow a curved space path. Then the more a body enters the black hole, the more curved the space will become, until, in the center, it will become infinitely curved. </em>

The linear expansion of a material depends on which of the following?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

1. The change in temperature of the material.

2. The length of the material.

3. The type of material.

Explanation:

The term linear expansion is defined as the increase in length of any conductor when there is a change in temperature. The new length of any wire or rod is given by :

L=L_o(1+\alpha \Delta T)

L_o is the initial length of the rod

\alpha is the coefficient of linear expansion

\Delta T is the change in temperature

It is clear that the linear expansion of a material depends on :

1. The change in temperature of the material.

2. The length of the material.

3. The type of material.

So, all options are correct.
