IceJOKER [234]3 years ago

Answer:

Kinetic energy cannot be negative

potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

m = mass of object that can not be negative

v = speed of the object and since its square is given here so it can not be negative

so Kinetic energy is always positive

potential energy is given as the energy due to the virtue of the position of object

so it is

\Delta U = -\int F.dr

so potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

15) Very cold climates occur at Earth's North and South Poles because the polar regions
Gwar [14]

Because the polar regions receive low-angle insolation.

Insolation is the amount of solar radiation received by a given area. The Sun is always low on the horizon. The low Sun angle makes the beam of solar radiation to travel a longer distance from upper troposphere to reach earth's surface as compared to when it is directly overhead. In this case, the radiations are scattered and reflected more by the atmosphere and spread over a larger area. Thus, the intensity of solar radiation is very less at polar regions than near the equatorial region. This is the reason of very cold climates at polar regions.

How could I tell if an egg is hard boiled or raw explain using Newton's law of motion
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's 2 nd law of motion tells that when equal torque is applied on object having higher moment of inertia , it will rotate slower .

Moment of inertia of boiled egg is higher because the whole egg rotates as s solid unit . Hence it will rotate slower or it rolls slower on an inclined surface .

In this way by applying Newton's law , we can identify raw or boiled egg .

A coil of wire consists of 20 turns, each of which has an area of 0.0015 m2. A magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface wi
stepan [7]

Answer:

magnitude of the induced emf in the coil is 0.0153 V

Explanation:

Given data

no of turns = 20

area = 0.0015 m²

magnitude  B1 = 4.91 T/s

magnitude  B2 = 5.42 T/s

to find out

the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil

solution

we know here

emf = -n A d∅ /dt

so here n = 20 and

A = 0.0015

and d∅ = B2 - B1 = 5.42 - 4.91

d∅ = 0.51 T and dt  at 1 sec

so  put all value

emf = -n A d∅ /dt

emf = -20 (0.0015) 0.51 / 1

emf = - 0.0153

so magnitude of the induced emf in the coil is 0.0153 V
