Answer:

The main difference is that the metastable state is not a state of equilibrium, but a state of non-equilibrium that is maintained for a long time. A metastable state is when the system approaches equilibrium in a very slow manner.

And on the other hand the phase equilibrium as the name says is a state of equilibrium in which there are more than two phases coexisting.

Help me quick!!! please!!

Rudik [331]

Answer:

39.240 W

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the work done by the engine. We can assume that it is the same work done by the weight of the object to bring it from 40m to the surface: as much energy it takes to bring it up, the same ammount it takes to bring it down. Said work is $w= \vec F\cdot \vec{h} = mg h = 1000 \times 9.81\times 40 = 392.400 J$

At this point we can simply apply the definition of power, that is $P = \frac wt$ , to get the power of the engine is $39.240 W$

What in th max age of a dog

Anna11 [10]

Ok, SO my family runs a Dog Day Care. ( littlecanineclubhouse.com if you need proof.)

And what i have found it that it really depends on the type of dog it is.

Such as a PUG, they can live anywhere between 15 to 20 years.
A Boston Bull Terrier can live up to about 10 to 15 years.
A French Bull dog can live anywhere up to 10 to 12 years.
A golden Retriever can live up to 10 to 12 years.
ETC.

SO it really depends on the dog.

How can you make the potential energy as high as possible in a magnetic field between one electromagnet and one piece of iron?

harkovskaia [24]

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

In step 2, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

<h3>Potential energy of a system of magnetic dipole</h3>

The potential energy of a system of dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole in the magnetic field.

$U = \mu B$

where;

$\mu$ is the dipole moment
B is the magnetic field

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

$U = \mu\times (\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} )$

Increase in the distance (r) reduces the potential energy. Thus, we can conclude the following;

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
In step 2, when the iron is rotated 180, it will still maintain the original position, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
