What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?

1 answer:

7 0

-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.

What condition is required for cloud formation in the atmosphere?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: To form a cloud, the air that rises must cool to the point where some of the water vapor molecules "clump together" at a faster pace than they are pulled apart by their thermal energy. These molecules then condense to form the clouds and water droplets.

A heat engine (Power Cycle) with a thermal efficiency of 35 percent efficiency produces 750 kJ of work. Heat transfer to the eng

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) The schematic illustrating is attached

b) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 2142.86 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 1392.86 kJ

c) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 1648.35 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 898.35 kJ

Explanation:

b) The heat transfer to the engine and the heat transfer from the engine to the air is:

$Q_{1} =\frac{W}{n}$

Where

W = 750 kJ

n = 35% = 0.25

Replacing:

$Q_{1} =\frac{750}{0.35} =2142.86kJ$

$Q_{2} =Q_{1} -W=2142.86-750=1392.86kJ$

c) The efficiency of Carnot engine is:

$n=1-\frac{300K}{550K} =0.455$

The heat transfer to the heat engine is:

$Q_{1c} =\frac{750}{0.455} =1648.35kJ$

The heat transfer from the heat engine is:

$Q_{2c} =1648.35-750=898.35kJ$

-What can you say about the snowboarder’s kinetic energy as he moves?

Damm [24]

Answer:

His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases

The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.

Explanation:

Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ , so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.

When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.

Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.

mgh+ $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ = Constant

A square loop of wire with a small resistance is moved with constant speed from a field free region into a region of uniform B f

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

A) False

B) False

C) True

D) False

Explanation:

A) False, because when leaving the field, the coil experiences a magnetic force to the right.

B) When the loop is entering the field, the magnetic flux through it will increase. Thus, induced magnetic field will try to decrease the magnetic flux i.e. the induced magnetic field will be opposite to the applied magnetic field. The applied magnetic field is into the plane of figure and thus the induced magnetic field is out of the plane of figure. Due to that reason, the current would be counterclockwise. So the statement is false.

C) When the loop is leaving the field, the magnetic flux through the loop will decrease. Thus, induced magnetic field will try to increase the magnetic flux i.e. the inducued magnetic field will be in the same direction as the applied magnetic field. The applied magnetic field is into the plane of figure and thus the induced magnetic field is also into the plane of figure. Due to that reason, the current would be clockwise. So the statement is true.

D) False because when entering the field magnetic force will be toward left side
