That statement describes both the snail's velocity AND acceleration.

-- "rate", "northerly" . . . speed and direction ==> velocity

-- "constant rate" . . . zero acceleration

Which of the following statements about the force on a charged particle due to a magnetic field are not valid?

Vinil7 [7]

The correct answer is "None of the above; all of these statements are valid." All the statements namely, it depends on the particle's charge, it depends on the strength of the external magnetic field, it depends on the particle's velocity, and it acts at right angles to the direction of the particle's motion are all valid. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

a 4kg box is resting on top of a shelf that is 2m high, what is the boxs gravitational potential relative to the floor

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

PE = (4 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)

PE = 78.4 J and with sig figs, it would be 80 J

For heat transfer purposes, an egg can be considered to be a 5.5-cm-diameter sphere having the properties of water. An egg that

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 40007 sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the egg is $d_e = 5.5cm = \frac{5.5}{100} = 5.5*10^{-2}m$

The initial temperature of egg the $T_e = 4.3^{o}C$

The temperature of the boiling water $T_b = 100^oC$

The heat transfer coefficient is $H = 800 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The final temperature is $T_e_f = 74^oC$

The thermal conductivity of water is $k = 0.607 W/m^oC$

The diffusivity of the egg $\alpha = 0.146 * 10^{-6} m^2 /s$

Using one term approximation

We have the

$\frac{T_e_f - T_b}{T_e - T_b} = Ae^{-\lambda ^2 \tau}$

The radius is $r = \frac{5.5*10^ {-2}}{2} =2.75*10^{-2}m$ Note that this radius is approximation to that of a real egg

Now we need to obtain the Biot number which help indicate the value of $A \ and \ \lambda$ to use in the above equation

The Biot number is mathematically represented as

$Bi = \frac{H r}{k}$

Substituting values

$Bi = \frac{800 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.607}$

$= 36.24$

So for this value which greater than 0.1 the coefficient $\lambda_1 \ and \ A_1$ is

$\lambda = 3.06632$

$A = 1.9942$

Substituting this into equation 1 we have

$\frac{74- 100}{4.3 - 100} = 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-9.383 \tau}$

$0.13624 = e^{-9.383 \tau}$

Taking natural log of both sides

$-1.993 = -9.383\ \tau$

$\tau = 0.2124$

The time required for the egg to be cooked is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\tau r^2}{\alpha }$

substituting value is

$= \frac{0.2124 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.146 *10^{-6}}$

$t = 40007 sec$
