Explanation:

There must be differences in temperature, pressure and composition within a liquid metal core inside the planet, since this produces a motion of the liquid metal, generating electric currents, which produce magnetic fields, that align, combining their effect to produce a large field Magnetic that envelops the planet.

A 20 N unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2. What is the mass of the object?

Ket [755]

Answer:

Force = 20N

acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of object (m) = ?

From Newtons II law

F = m. a N

m = F/a

m = 20/1.5

m = 13.34 Kg

Mass of an object is 13.34 Kg

Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0 track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20.0 /. Go-cart B accelerate

maria [59]

Complete Question

Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?

Answer:

Go-cart A is faster

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the track is $l = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The speed of A is $v__{A}} = 20 \ m/s$

The uniform acceleration of B is $a__{B}} = 0.333 \ m/s^2$

Generally the time taken by go-cart A is mathematically represented as

$t__{A}} = \frac{l}{v__{A}}}$

=> $t__{A}} = \frac{1000}{20}$

=> $t__{A}} = 50 \ s$

Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

$l = ut__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} a__{B}} * t__{B}}^2$

given that go-cart B starts from rest u = 0 m/s

$1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} * 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $t__{B}} = 77.5 \ seconds$

Comparing $t__{A}} \ and \ t__{B}}$ we see that $t__{A}}$ is smaller so go-cart A is faster

What is the net charge (overall or sum of charges) of the nucleus and what number is it equal to?

polet [3.4K]

Because the nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons, and no negatively charged particles, the charge of the nucleus will always be equal to the sum of the charges of its protons. A simpler way to say it is because each proton has a +1 charge, the charge of the nucleus will be the same as the number of protons in it.

The current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A. What is the energy stored in the inductor?

lakkis [162]

Answer:

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Explanation:

Given that the current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A.

The energy E stored in the inductor can be expressed as

E = 1/2Ll^2

Substitutes the inductor L and the current I into the formula

E = 1/2 × 0.2 × ( 10te^-5t )^2

E = 0.1 × 100t^2e^-10t

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Therefore, the energy stored in the inductor is 10t^2e^-10t Joules

A weightlifter lifts a set of weights a vertical distance of 2.00m.If a constant net force of 350 N is exerted on the weights,wh

MrMuchimi

Answer:

W=700 Joule

Explanation:

Physics Work

Is the dot product of the force vector by the displacement vector

$W=\vec F \cdot \vec r$

When both the force and the displacements are pointed in the same direction, the formula reduces to its scalar version

$W=F.d$

The weightlifter is applying a net force of 350 N to lift the weights a distance of 2 m, thus the net work done is

$W=350\ N\ .\ 2\ m=700\ Joule$
