Why does the earth bulge at the equator?

1 answer:

4 0

centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.

How much charge does a 9.0 v battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 39 j of work?

sdas [7]

The work done by the battery is equal to the charge transferred during the process times the potential difference between the two terminals of the battery:
$W=q \Delta V$
where q is the charge and $\Delta V$ is the potential difference.

In our problem, the work done is W=39 J while the potential difference of the battery is $\Delta V = 9.0 V$ , so we can find the charge transferred by the battery:
$q= \frac{W}{\Delta V}= \frac{39 J}{9.0 V}=4.33 C$

(25 pts) Estimate how much collector area and storage capacity would be required for an active solar hot-water system designed t

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The required total area is 1.48 m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Latitude = 44+° N

New Mexico,

Latitude= 35+° N

Heat capacity = 4200 J/Kg°C

Temperature = 60°C

Let us assume the input temperature 22°C

Estimate volume of water 100 ltr for 4 person.

We need to calculate the heat

Using formula of heat

$H=mc_{p}\Delta T$

$H=mc_{p}(T_{f}-T_{i})$

Put the value into the formula

$H=100\times4200\times(60-22)$

$H=15960\ KJ$ ...(I)

Let solar radiation for 6 hours/day.

We need to calculate the total energy per unit area

Using formula of energy

$E=1000\times6\times3600\ J/m^2$

$E=21600\ KJ/m^2$

Let the efficiency of collector is 50 %

Then, the total energy per unit area will be

$E=21600\times\dfrac{50}{100}$

$E=10800\ KJ/m^2$ ....(II)

We need to calculate the required total area

Using equation (I) and (II)

$A=\dfrac{H}{E}$

Where, H = heat

E = total energy

Put the value into the formula

$A=\dfrac{15960}{10800}$

$A=1.48\ m^2$

Hence, The required total area is 1.48 m²

16x^2y^2-25a^2b^2<br>factorize the expression

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Explanation:

16 $x^{2}$ $y^{2}$ -25 $a^{2}$ $b^{2}$

4^2 is 16 and 5^2 is 25,

Also, (x-a)(x+a) = x^2-a^2

So, this factorized is:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Hope this helps!

Nonconjugated β,γ-unsaturated ketones are in base-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated α,β-unsaturated isomers. The mecha

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equilibrium mechanism for the reversible acid is catalyzed by the isomerization of non conjugated Î², Î³- unsaturated ketones, like 3-cyclohexanone to their conjugated Î±, I²- unsaturated isomers.

Oxygen of the Carbonyl group in the ketone is protonated by the acid and this is followed by the abstraction of an Î±- hydrogen from the protonated 3-cyclo hexanone to yield ethanol

2-cyclo hexanone can be obtained by acid catalyzation of 3-cyclohexanone isomers through the formation of it's "enol".
