What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?

2 answers:

6 0

Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

The correct answer would be Evaporation. When the heat heats water too a a boiling point then it turns into steam also know as Evaporation

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri

belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

A bicycle has a momentum of 23.4

Snowcat [4.5K]

Momentum=23.4kgm/s
Velocity=2m/s

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Momentum=Mass\times velocity$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{Momentum}{Velocity}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{23.4}{2}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=11.7kg$

A sinusoidal voltage is given by the expression ????(????)=20cos(5π×103 ????+60°) V. Determine its (a) frequency in hertz, (b) p

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

There are some placeholders in the expression, but they can be safely assumed

Answer:

(a) $f=1617.9\ Hz$

(b) $T=0.618\ ms$

(d) $\varphi=60^o$

Explanation:

Sinusoidal Waves

An oscillating wave can be expressed as a sinusoidal function as follows

$V(t)&=A\cdot \sin(2\pi ft+\varphi )$

Where

$A=Amplitude$

$f=frequency$

$\varphi=Phase\ angle$

The voltage of the question is the sinusoid expression

$V(t)=20cos(5\pi\times 103t+60^o)$

(a) By comparing with the general formula we have

$f=5\pi\times 103=1617.9\ Hz$

$\boxed{f=1617.9\ Hz}$

(b) The period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{f}$

$\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{1617.9\ Hz}=0.000618\ sec$

Converting to milliseconds

$\boxed{T=0.618\ ms}$

$\boxed{A=20 \ Volts}$

(d) Phase angle:

$\boxed{\varphi=60^o}$

Two charges separated by 1 m exert 1 N forces on each other. If the charges are pushed to 1/4m separation, the force on each cha

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The force on each charge = 16 N

Explanation:

From coulombs law,

F = 1/4πε₀(q₁q₂)/d²........................ Equation 1

q₁q₂ = F4πε₀d²...................... Equation 2

Where F = force on the two charges, q₁ = charge on the first body, q₂ = charge on the second body, d = distance of separation, 1/4πε₀ = constant of proportionality.

When d = 1 m, F = 1 N,

Constant: 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substituting these values into equation 2,

q₁q₂ = 1×1²/9×10⁹

q₁q₂ = 1/9×10⁹ C²

When d = 1/4 m, q₁q₂ = 1/9×10⁹ C² and 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substituting these values into equation 1

F = 9×10⁹×1/9×10⁹ /(1/4)²

F = 1/(1/16)

F = 16 N

Therefore the force on each charge = 16 N
