Describe the energy transformations that occur from the time a skydiver jumps out of a plane until landing on the ground.

I think, the skydiver has maximum potential energy before jumping. However, as the skydiver jumps and decreases in height, he increases the velocity. Thus, as soon as the skydiver has jumped he is experiencing kinetic energy. The velocity of the skydiver increases as he moves down wards due to gravitational acceleration until he attains terminal velocity.

Sample Response:<span> Before jumping from the plane, the skydiver has potential energy. When the skydiver jumps, the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, which increases until the skydiver reaches terminal velocity. Potential energy is then transformed into thermal energy.</span>

A coil of wire containing N turns is in an external magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil and it steadil

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The Resultant Induced Emf in coil is 4∈.

Explanation:

Given that,

A coil of wire containing having N turns in an External magnetic Field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil which is steadily changing. An Emf (∈) is induced in the coil.

To find :-

find the induced Emf if rate of change of the magnetic field and the number of turns in the coil are Doubled (but nothing else changes).

So,

Emf induced in the coil represented by formula

∈ = $-N\frac{d\phi}{dt}$ ...................(1)

Where:

. $\phi = BAcos\theta$ { B is magnetic field }

{A is cross-sectional area}

. $N =$ No. of turns in coil.

. $\frac{d\phi}{dt} =$ Rate change of induced Emf.

Here,

Considering the case :-

$N1 = 2N$ & $\frac{d\phi1}{dt} = 2\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

Putting these value in the equation (1) and finding the new emf induced (∈1)

∈1 = $-N1\times\frac{d\phi1}{dt}$

∈1 = $-2N\times2\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

∈1 = $4 [-N\times\frac{d\phi}{dt}]$

∈1 = 4∈ ...............{from Equation (1)}

Hence,

The Resultant Induced Emf in coil is 4∈.

A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

$Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}$
