<span>Mirage is due to (A). unequal heating of different parts of the atmosphere,
because that produces unequal density of different parts of the atmosphere,
which bends the light.

The secondary coil of a step-up transformer provides the voltage that operates an electrostatic air filter. The turns ratio of t
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The power consumed by the air filter is 9.936 watts      

Explanation:

It is given that, the secondary coil of a step-up transformer provides the voltage that operates an electrostatic air filter.

Turn ratio of the transformer, \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{46}{1}

Voltage of primary coil, V_p=120\ V

Current in the secondary coil, I_s=1.8\times 10^{-3}\ A

The power consumed by the air filter is :

P_s=I_s\times V_s...........(1)

For a transformer, \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}

So, P_s=I_s\times (\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})\times V_p

P_s=1.8\times 10^{-3}\times (\dfrac{46}{1})\times 120

P_s=9.936\ Watts

So, the power consumed by the air filter is 9.936 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or \lambda=20.0cm

c. The period, or T, of a wave is found in the equation

f=\frac{1}{T} were f is the frequency of the wave. We were given the frequency, so we plug that in and solve for T:

50.0=\frac{1}{T} so

T=\frac{1}{50.0} and

T = .0200 seconds to the correct number of sig fig's (50.0 has 3 sig fig's in it)

d. The speed of the wave is found in the equation

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and since we already have the frequency and we solved for the wavelength already, filling in:

50.0=\frac{v}{20.0} and

v = 50.0(20.0) so

v = 1.00 × 10³ m/s

And there you go!

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

F_s = \mu N

where \mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force F_p at an angle \theta, the normal force on the block becomes

N  = Mg- F_psin(\theta)

and hence the frictional force becomes

F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta)).

Now, as we increase \theta, sin(\theta) increases which as a result decreases the normal force Mg- F_psin(\theta), which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>W=mg<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

A 40-kg rock is dropped from an elevation of 10 m. What is the velocity of the rock when it is 5-m from the ground?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=40\ kg

Elevation of Rock h=10\ m

Distance traveled by rock with time

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, u=initial velocity

t=time

a=acceleration

here initial velocity is zero

when rock is 5 m from ground then it has traveled a distance of 5 m from top because total height is 10 m

5=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(t^2)

t^2=\frac{10}{9.8}

t=1.004\approx 1\ s

velocity at this time

v=u+at

v=0+9.8\times 1.004

v=9.83\ m/s

Read the following excerpt about water availability to living organisms.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1 percent

Explanation:

It says that only 3 percent of the water is fresh. So it can be 1 percent or 3 percent. But then it says that most of the water is locked up in glaciers and polar ice caps. So the animals would have a hard time getting to this water. So the rest is available for them. Approximately 1 percent is most reasonable.
