<span>he theory states that Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, is broken into 7 large, rigid pieces called plates: the African, North American, South American, Eurasian, Australian, Antarctic, and Pacific plates. Several minor plates also exist, including the Arabian, Nazca, and Philippines plates. The plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds</span>

An electric toy with a resistance of 2.50 Ω is operated by a 3.00-V battery. (a) What current does the toy draw? (b) Assuming th

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a) The current is i = 1.2 A

b) The charge is Q = 17280 C

c) The energy is E = 43200 J

Explanation:

a) The current is given by the ohm's law wich is:

i = V/R = 3/2.5 = 1.2 A

b) Since the charge is steady we can use the following equation to find the charge amount in that time:

i = Q/t

Q = t*i

Where t is in seconds, so we have 4h * 3600 = 14400 s

Q = 1.2*14400 = 17280 C

c) The energy is the power delivered to the toy multiplied by the time:

P = 1.2*2.5 = 3 W

E = P*t = 3*14400 = 43200 J

A physicist makes a cup of instant coffee and notices that, as the coffee cools, its level drops 3.00 mm in the glass cup. Show

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

change in height is 1.664 mm

Explanation:

Given data

drops = 3.00 mm

diameter = 5.00 cm = 0.05 mm

decrease = 350 cm^3

temperature = 95°C to 44.0°C

to find out

the decrease in millimeters in level

solution

we will calculate here change in volume so we can find how much level is decrease

change in volume = β v change in temp ...............1

here change in volume = area× height

so = $\pi$ /4 × d² h

so we can say change in volume = $\pi$ /4 × d² × change in height .......2

so from equation 1 and 2 we calculate change in height

( β(w) -β(g) )× v× change in temp = $\pi$ /4 × d² × change in height

change in height = 4 × ( β(w) -β(g) ) v× change in temp / $\pi$ /4 × d²

put all value here

change in height = 4 × ( 210 - 27 )(350 ) $10^{-6}$ × (95-44) / $\pi$ /4 × 0.05²

change in height is 1.664 mm

Which of the following has the greatest kinetic energy? A. a mass of 4m at velocity v. B. a mass of 3m at velocity 2v. C. a mass

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that the body possesses by virtue of its motion.

The formula for Kinetic energy is given by $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Using this formula let us find kinetic energy for the bodies given and find out which is the greatest

A) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (4m)(v^2) = 2mv^2$

B) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (3m)(2v)^2 = 6mv^2$

C) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (2m)(3v)^2 = 9mv^2$

D) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (3)(4v)^2 = 8mv^2$

Comparing these we find that 9mv^2 is the highest.

Hence option C is the answer.
