A boxcar at a rail yard is set into motion at the top of a hump. The car rolls down quietly and without friction onto a straight

, level track where it couples with a flatcar of smaller mass, originally at rest, so that the two cars then roll together without friction. Consider the two cars as a system from the moment of release of the boxcar until both are rolling together. (a) is the mechanical energy of the system conserved? (b) is the momentum of this system conserved? Next, consider only the process of the boxcar gaining speed as it rolls down the hump. Consider the boxcar and the Earth as a system. (a) is the mechanical energy of the system conserved? (b) is the momentum of this system conserved? Finally, consider the two cars as a system as the boxcar is slowing down in the coupling process. (a) is the mechanical energy of the system conserved? (b) is the momentum of this system conserved?

Which of the following are true? Select all that apply. The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

1) The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero if the copper block is in equilibrium.

2) In equilibrium, there is no net flow of mobile charged particles inside a conductor.

3) If the net electric field at a particular location inside a piece of metal is not zero, the metal is not in equilibrium.

Explanation:

1) and 3) A block of copper is a conductor. The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest, so the intensity of the electric field at all interior points of the conductor is zero, otherwise, the charges would move resulting in an electric current.

2) The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest.

A cylinder 0.170 m in diameter rotates in a lathe at 530 rpm . what is the tangential speed of the surface of the cylinder?
Ad libitum [116K]
Diameter = 0.170 meter
Circumference = 0.170 π meters

530 rpm = 530 circumferences / minute

               =  (530 x 0.170 π meters) / minute

               =      283.06 meter.minute

               =        4.72 meters/second
