Answer:

C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added

Explanation:

The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.

Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas

A toroid having a square cross section, 5.00 cm on a side, and an inner radius of 15.0 cm has 500 turns and carries a current of

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a).β=0.53 $x10^{-3}$ T

a).β=0.40 $x10^{-4}$ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field at distance 'r' from the center of toroid is given by:

$\beta =\frac{u_{o}*I*N}{2\pi*r}$

a).

$N=500\\I=0.800A\\r=15cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.15m\\u_{o}=4\pi x10^{-7}\frac{T*m}{A} \\\beta=\frac{4\pi x10^{-7}\frac{T*m}{A}*0.8A*500}{2\pi*0.15m} \\\beta=0.53x10^{-3}T$

b).

The distance is the radius add the cross section so:

$r_{1}=15cm+5cm\\r_{1}=20cm$

$r_{1} =20cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.20m$

$\beta =\frac{u_{o}*I*N}{2\pi*r1}$

$\beta =\frac{4\pi x10^{-7}*0.80A*500 }{2\pi*0.20m} \\\beta=0.4x10^{-3} T$

I need the solution to this

posledela

Answer:

He could jump 2.6 meters high.

Explanation:

Jumping a height of 1.3m requires a certain initial velocity v_0. It turns out that this scenario can be turned into an equivalent: if a person is dropped from a height of 1.3m in free fall, his velocity right before landing on the ground will be v_0. To answer this equivalent question, we use the kinematic equation:

$v_0 = \sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 1.3m}=5.0\frac{m}{s}$

With this result, we turn back to the original question on Earth: the person needs an initial velocity of 5 m/s to jump 1.3m high, on the Earth.

Now let's go to the other planet. It's smaller, half the radius, and its meadows are distinctly greener. Since its density is the same as one of the Earth, only its radius is half, we can argue that the gravitational acceleration g will be half of that of the Earth (you can verify this is true by writing down the Newton's formula for gravity, use volume of the sphere times density instead of the mass of the Earth, then see what happens to g when halving the radius). So, the question now becomes: from which height should the person be dropped in free fall so that his landing speed is 5 m/s ? Again, the kinematic equation comes in handy:

$v_0^2 = 2g_{1/2}h\implies \\h = \frac{v_0^2}{2g_{1/2}}=\frac{25\frac{m^2}{s^2}}{2\cdot 4.9\frac{m}{s^2}}=2.6m$

This results tells you, that on the planet X, which just half the radius of the Earth, a person will jump up to the height of 2.6 meters with same effort as on the Earth. This is exactly twice the height he jumps on Earth. It now all makes sense.

A river flowing steadily at a rate of 175 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam can

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

Explanation:

The formula for power is P= dhrg

Where P = Power in watts

d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)

h = height in meters

r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,

g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,

Plugging in the known values,

we get

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3

P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:

$v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}$

where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum.

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}$ (1)

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively.

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41$

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

I hope it helps you!
