In cities, a phenomenon known as the "urban heat island effect" causes air temperatures to be warmer than in nearby suburban or rural areas and

There are many people in the city and so much traffic that it pollutes the air and makes it warmer where the country dosent have much traffic so there for its cooler

An ohmic dipole of resistance 100 ohm is crossed by a current of intensity 120 ma. Calculates the voltage across this chemical d

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

12.0 Volt

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Resistance of the ohmic dipole (R): 100 Ohm

Intensity of current (I): 120 mA (0.120 A)

Step 2: Calculate the voltage (V) across this chemical dipole

To calculate the voltage across the ohmic dipole, we will use Ohm's law.

I = V/R

V = I × R

V = 0.120 A × 100 Ohm = 12.0 V

A rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 47.2 m/s2. Calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an a

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Approximately $4.61\times 10^{3}\; {\rm N}$ upwards (assuming that $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ .)

Explanation:

External forces on this astronaut:

Weight (gravitational attraction) from the earth (downwards,) and
Normal force from the floor (upwards.)

Let $(\text{normal force})$ denote the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut from the floor. Since the direction of the normal force is opposite to the direction of the gravitational attraction, the magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be:

$\begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned}$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of this astronaut. The magnitude of the gravitational attraction on this astronaut would be $(\text{weight}) = m\, g$ .

Let $a$ denote the acceleration of this astronaut. The magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be $(\text{net force}) = m\, a$ .

Rearrange $\begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned}$ to obtain an expression for the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut:

$\begin{aligned}(\text{normal force}) &= (\text{net force}) + (\text{weight}) \\ &= m\, a + m\, g \\ &= m\, (a + g) \\ &= 80.9\; {\rm kg} \times (47.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} + 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) \\ &\approx 4.61 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

A 230 kg steel crate is being pushed along a cement floor. The force of friction is 480 N to the left and the applied force is 1

tamaranim1 [39]

The acceleration would be 6m/sThis is because of the formula, "f/m=a" to find the acceleration; We would need to subtract the force of the friction which equals 1380, then divide that by the mass (which was 230) to get the answer 6
