Physics
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

D). Field lines circle the Earth from east to west.  

Explanation:

A microscopic force or gigantic magnetic field surrounds the Earth which functions as a force field that guards the planet against the radiations released from space. This magnetic field is characterized by the alignment of the North and South poles with the axis of rotation. Thus, the magnetic field lines of the Earth surround or circle of the Earth from East to West. Therefore, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

A hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 12 m/s and is 80 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) H
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

balloon is ascending at the rate of u=12\ m/s

Balloon is at a height of s=80\ m

As the package is dropped from the balloon it must possess the same initial velocity as the balloon

using

v^2-u^2=2as  

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v^2=12^2+2\times 9.8\times 80

v^2=1712

v=41.37\ m/s

time taken is  given by

v=u+at

substituting values

41.37=-12+9.8\times t

as we consider downward direction as positive

t=\frac{53.37}{9.8}

t=5.44\ s

therefore time taken to reach the bottom is t=5.44 s

A charge of 9 pC is uniformly distributed throughout the volumebetween concentric spherical surfaces having radii of 1.6 cmand
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Electric Field = 3.369 x 10^4 N/C

Explanation:

Radius = r = (r1 + r2) / 2 = (1.6 + 3.6) /2 = 2.6 cm + 2.3 cm = 4.9 cm = 0.049 m

As we know, Electric field = E = kQ/r.r

= 8.98755 x 10^9 x 9 x 10^-9 / 0.049 x 0.049 = 33689.275 N/C

= 3.369 x 10^4 N/C

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

 First walking 1.2 km north,  displacement = 1.2 j km

 Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

 Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

 Magnitude = \sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km

 Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0 = 36.87⁰ east of north.

can you suggest improvement that can be made towards the design of siphon so that the transfer of liquid is much higher.​
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet

The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube

The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon
