A snowboarder travels 150 m down a mountain slope that is 65 degrees above horizontal. What is his vertical displacement?

1 answer:

3 0

This can be answered using trigonometric analysis. This sloped path that is 150 m long is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The adjacent angle would then be 65 degrees. Given these:

sin 65 = h / 150

Where: h = vertical displacement = 150 (sin 65)
h = 135.95 meters

The wires in a household lamp cord are typically 3.5 mm apart center to center and carry equal currents in opposite directions.

zhuklara [117]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between wires, d = 3.5 mm = 0.0035 m

Power of light bulb, P = 100 W

Potential difference, V = 120 V

(a) We need to find the force per unit length each wire of the cord exert on the other. It is given by :

$\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I^2}{2\pi r}$

Power, P = V × I

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{100}{120}=0.83\ A$

This gives, $\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (0.83)^2}{2\pi \times 0.0035}$

$\dfrac{F}{l}=0.0000393\ N/m$

$\dfrac{F}{l}=3.93\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

(b) Since, the two wires carry equal currents in opposite directions. So, teh force is repulsive.

(c) This force is negligible.

Hence, this is the required solution.

We/Wm = ge/gm = 120N/1.2N

gm = ge/100 = 0.1 m/s^2

density = mass/volume = 3M/(4pir^3)

Re-arranging this equation, we get

M/r^2 = (4/3)×pi×(density)×r

From Newton's universal law of gravitation, the acceleration due to gravity on the moon gm is

gm = G(M/r^2) = G×(4/3)×pi×(density)×r

Solving for density, we get the expression

density = 3gm/(4×pi×G×r)

= 3(0.1)/(4×3.14×6.67×10^-11×2.74×10^6)

= 130.6 kg/m^3

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. A device that uses electricity and magnetism to create motion is called a __

Fittoniya [83]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

1st drop; Motor

2nd drop; Electricity

A device that uses electricity and magnetism to create motion is called a <u>motor</u>. In a reverse process, a device that uses motion and magnesium can be used to create <u>electricity</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

<em><u>Motors are device which use electricity and magnetism to create motion.</u></em> They pass alternating current through opposing pairs of magnets to create a rotating magnetic field which creates a magnetic field in the rotor of a motor, making it to spin around.
<em><u>Electric motors work in a reverse process by using motion and magnetism to generate electricity. </u></em>When a coil or loops of wire are exposed to a changing magnetic field, an electrical current arises or is induced.

What new characteristics did john dalton add to the model of the atom

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

All atoms of an element are identical. The atoms of different elements vary in size and mass. Compounds are produced through different whole-number combinations of atoms. A chemical reaction results in the rearrangement of atoms in the reactant and product compounds.
