Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation for slope.

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }\\m=\frac{-4 - 8 }{2-(-1) }\\m=\frac{-4 - 8 }{2+1 }\\m=\frac{-12}{3}\\ m=-4$

The slop is -4.

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-4-8)/(2 - -1)

= (-4-8)/(2+1)

= -12/3

= -4

The rate at which a body cools also depends on its exposed surface area S. If S is a constant, then a modification of (2), given

padilas [110]

Answer:

76.25°

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the differential equation is an exponential curve with a horizontal asymptote at Tm. It passes through (0, 145) and (30, 95), so the equation can be written as ...

T = 80 +65((95-65)/(145-65))^(t/30)

T = 80 +65(3/8)^(t/30)

That is, the temperature difference is reduced to 3/8 of its original value in 30 minutes.

Since the coffee in cup B cools twice as fast, it will cool to the same temperature (95°) in 15 minutes. In the next 15 minutes, the temperature difference will be reduced to (3/8)^2 of the original 80°, so will be 11.25°. That is, the temperature of cup B will be ...

11.25° +65° = 76.25°

after 30 minutes.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The magnetic field is $B = 3.87 *10^{-6} \ T$

Direction is inward

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The radius of BC is $r_{BC} = 30 \ cm = 0.30 \ m$

The radius of DA is $r _{DA} = 20 \ cm = 0.20 \ m$

The length of CD is $r_{CD} = 10 cm = 0.1 \ m$

The length of AB is $r_{AB} = 10 cm = 0.1 \ m$

The current is $I = 11.4A$

The magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = B_{BC} + B_{DA} + B_{CD} + B_{AB}$

$B = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi } [ \frac{\theta_{DA}}{r_{DA}} + \frac{\theta_{BC}}{r_{BC}}+ \frac{\theta_{CD}}{r_{CD}}+\frac{\theta_{AB}}{r_{AB}}]$

Where

$\theta_{BC} = \theta_{DA} = \frac{2\pi}{3}$

Where $\frac{2 \pi}{3} = 120^o$

$\theta_{CD} = \theta_{AB} = 0^o$

$B = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi } [ \frac{\frac{2\pi}{3} }{0.20} - \frac{\frac{2\pi}{3}}{0.30}}+ \frac{0}{0.10}+\frac{0}{0.10}]$

$B = 3.87 *10^{-6} \ T$

The direction is into the page

This because the magnitude of the magnetic field due to arc BC whose direction is outward is less than that of DA whose direction is inward

This is because according to Fleming's Left Hand Rule the direction of current is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field so since current in arc BC and DA are moving in opposite direction their magnetic field will also be moving in opposite direction
