Which of the following statements about gravitational potential energy is not true?

A straight 1.20 m long conductor has a 2.00 A current travelling toward the East. Earth's magnetic field in this location is 4.9

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Force's magnitude $=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N$

Direction: down (towards the center of the Earth)

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a conductor of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by the equation: $F=I\,L\,B$ in the case the magnetic field B and the direction of the current are at 90 degrees from each other (which is our case). The direction of the force will be given by the "right hand rule" associated with the vector product that defines this force.

Since the current is moving East, and the magnetic field of the Earth goes from North to South, the resultant Force vector will be pointing towards the Earth (and perpendicular to the plane defined by the current's direction and the magnetic field B)

The magnitude of the force, is given by the formula above, and given that all quantities to be considered are is SI units, it will result in Newtons (N):

$F=I\,L\,B\\F=2\,*\,1.2\,*\,4.9\,10^{-5}\,N\\F=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N$

The elevator accelerates upward (in the positive direction) from rest at a rate of 1.95 m/s2 for 2.15 s. Calculate the tension i

sammy [17]

The mass is missing. The mass of the elevator is 1650 kg.

Answer:

The tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the elevator (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration in the upward direction (a) = 1.95 m/s²

Time taken by the elevator (t) = 2.15 s

Mass of the elevator and persons (m) = 1650 kg

Let the tension in the cable wire be 'T' Newtons.

Now, there are 2 forces acting in the vertical direction. One is tension in the upward direction and the other the weight of the elevator in the downward direction.

As the elevator is accelerating upward, the net force acts in the upward direction.

So, net force on the elevator is given as:

$F_{net}=T-mg$

Now, from Newton's second law, net force equals mass times acceleration.

$F_{net}=ma\\\\T-mg=ma\\\\T=m(g+a)$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'T'. This gives,

$T=1650\ kg(9.8+1.95)\ m/s^2\\\\T=1650\times11.75\ N\\\\T=19387.5\ N$

Therefore, the tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Which statement best describes why an island food web could be considered a closed system

iris [78.8K]

B. Energy enters and exits the system matter does not

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, there are three types of system:

Open system: it is a system that exchanges both matter and energy with the surroundings - an example is an open bottle
Closed system: it is a system that exchanges only matter with the surroundings, while energy cannot enter and exit the system - an example is a closed bottle (air cannot enter/exit the bottle, but heat can be exchanged through the walls of the bottle)
Isolated system: it is a system that cannot exchange matter or energy with the surroundings - an example is a sealed thermic container (heat cannot pass through the walls)

In this problem, we are asked to identify which statement best describes the island food web as a closed system: based on the definitions above, we can say that the correct option is

B. Energy enters and exits the system matter does not

During the solstices where do earth's poles point in relation to the sun

V125BC [204]

<span>During the December solstice the declination of the Sun is at 23.5° South of the equator. During the December solstice, locations in the Northern Hemisphere experience their shortest day. The December solstice is also the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Locations in the Southern Hemisphere have their longest day on the June solstice. This date also marks the first day of summer in the Southern Hemisphere. During the June solstice the declination of the Sun is at 23.5° North of the equator. During the June solstice, locations in the Northern Hemisphere experience their longest day. The June solstice is also the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Locations in the Southern Hemisphere have their shortest day on the June solstice. This date also marks the first day of winter in the Southern Hemisphere.</span>

What minimum volume must the slab have for a 75.0 kgkg woman to be able to stand on it without getting her feet wet

Alisiya [41]

V = 0.9375 m3 is minimum volume .

<h3>What is density ?</h3>

We use the word "density" to indicate how much space (or "volume") an object or substance occupies in relation to the amount of matter contained therein (its mass).
Density can also be defined as the quantity of mass per unit of volume. A dense object is one that is both hefty and small.

Given,

1000 kg/m3 = density of water

920 kg/m3 = density of ice

BF = Woman Weight + Slab Weight

Pvg = 75 + Pvg

V = 75 kg / (1000 - 920)

V = 75 / 80

V = 0.9375 m3

Therefore, V = 0.9375 m3 is minimum volume .
