Answer:

the Earth magnetic field in that region is about 89.09 \muT

Explanation:

If the magnetic field has an inclination of 79^o, and its horizontal component is 17 microTesla, then we can calculate the magnitude of the full magnetic field via the cosine function. Notice that the decomposition of a vector in horizontal and perpendicular components originates a right angle triangle where the vector is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\cos(79^o)=\frac{17}{B} \\B=\frac{17}{cos(79^o)}\,\mu T  \\B=89.09\,\,\mu T

Each of the following figures shows Earth with a different axis tilt. (Assume that Earth's rotation period is unchanged.) Each a
mart [117]

Answer:

 0º - 23.5º - 45º - 90º

Explanation:

The inclination angle of the Earth's axis with respect to its orbit around the Sun, determines that the duration enters the day and the night is different.

If it is not inclined (angle 0º) the two and niches have the same hardness

If the angle were very high (about 90º) the night would be very long, about half of the orbit period about six months.

Based on this presentation we can answer the question

The Sumo exposition from highest to lowest is

    0º - 23.5º - 45º - 90º

In one cycle, a freezer uses 800 J of electrical energy in order to remove 1735 J of heat from its freezer compartment at 10.0°F
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

A)

W = work done by the freezer = 800 J

Q = heat removed from the freezer = 1735 J

Q' = Heat expelled into the room

Coefficient of performance is given as

\beta = \frac{Q}{W}

inserting the values

\beta = \frac{1735}{800}

\beta = 2.2

B)

Heat expelled is given as

Q' = W + Q

Q' = 800 + 1735

Q' = 2535 J

Someone please help. Describe how electric potential energy, kinetic energy, and work change when two charges of opposite sign a
erik [133]

Answer:

The answer is based on the conservation of energy law; something you should really understand by now.  

For convenience we can hold one of the two charges still; it becomes the frame of reference. And everything we say is in reference to the designated static charge, call it Q.  

So the moving charge, call it q, has total energy TE = PE. It's all potential energy as we start with q not moving.  

It has potential energy because in order to separate q from Q, we had to do work, add energy, on q. And from the COE law, that work added is converted into PE.  

It's a bit like lifting something off the ground. That's work and it becomes GPE. So there's some work, in separating the two charges in the first place.  

But there's more.  

Now we let q go. As opposites attract, q is pulled to Q. And that force from Q is working on q, force over distance. Which means the potential energy q started with is being converted into kinetic energy. q is accelerating and picking up speed.  

And there's more work, done by the EMF on charge q. That converts the PE into KE and the q charge smashes into Q with some kinetic energy.
