Answer:

Compasses are mainly used in navigation to find direction on the earth. This works because the Earth itself has a magnetic field which is similar to that of a bar magnet. The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field direction and points north-south. Also, In a magnet all the domains are oriented in the same direction. In the case of a nail, the domains can be aligned in the same direction causing the nail to become magnetic. That is because if you hang a bar magnet from a thread, the north pole will point to magnetic north. When you bring one north pole close to another north pole they repel each other. You can feel the two magnets pushing each other apart.

A lemon with mass 0.3 kg falls out of a tree from a height of 1.8 m. How much mechanical energy does the lemon have just before
Zina [86]
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong...  But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

This graph indicates that the kinetic energy of an object is increasing. What is the most reasonable explanation for this observ
soldi70 [24.7K]

B) The object's velocity doubled.

Explanation:

The graph is missing: find it in attachment.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. It is calculated as

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We notice that:

  • The  kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass
  • The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity

In the graph, one of the two quantities (either mass or speed) is represented on the x-axis, while the quantity on the y-axis is the kinetic energy.

First of all, we notice that the relationship is not linear: this means that the quantity on the x-axis cannot be the mass, so it must be the velocity.

Moreover, we notice that when the quantity on the x-axis increases from 1 to 2 (so, it doubles), the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 4. This means that the object's velocity has doubled, therefore

B) The object's velocity doubled.

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 3 months. The line
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

given

T = 3months = 7.9 × 10⁶s

orbital speed = 88 × 10³m/s

V= 2πr÷T

∴ r = (V×T) ÷ 2π

r = (88km × 7.9 × 10⁶s) ÷ 2π

r = 1.10 × 10⁸km

using kepler's 3rd law

mass of both stars = (seperation diatance)³/(orbital speed)²

M₁ + M₂ = (2r)³/(\frac{1}{4}year)²

= (1.06 × 10²⁵)/(6.2×10¹³)

1.71×10¹²kg

since M₁ = M₂ =1.71×10¹²kg ÷ 2

M₁ = M₂ = 8.55×10¹¹kg

What makes output energy less than input energy?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

part of input energy is wasted

it is used to increase the entropy of the surrounding

therefore the useful energy output is necessarily smaller than the energy input

in other words the efficiency of heat engine is always less than hundred percent
