Greeley [361]3 years ago

Answer:Sample Response: The law of conservation of mass states that the total amount of mass remains constant in a system. In ecology, this means that when an organism is eaten, its mass is conserved. Some of the organism’s mass is used to make new proteins, and some of it is passed as waste in the form of urine or feces. The rest is converted directly into energy. This energy helps the consumer to move and grow, and it helps it to build and repair new tissue.

A planet has two moons with identical mass. Moon 1 is in a circular orbit of radius r. Moon 2 is in a circular orbit of radius 2
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Half as large.

Explanation:

Using Newton's law of universal gravitation, if the mass of the planet is <em>M</em> and of the Moons 1 and 2 is <em>m</em>, them the force exerted by the planet on them will be:

F_1=\frac{GMm}{r}

F_2=\frac{GMm}{2r}

Which clearly shows that the force that the planet exerts on the Moon 2 is half  the force it exerts on the Moon 1.

dedylja [7]

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg

A current of 5 A is flowing in a 20 mH inductor. The energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is:_______
Kipish [7]

Answer:

C. 0.25J

Explanation:

Energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is expressed as E = 1/2LI² where;

L is the inductance

I is the current flowing in the inductor

Given parameters

L = 20mH = 20×10^-3H

I = 5A

Required

Energy stored in the magnetic field.

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 5²

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 25

E = 10×10^-3 × 25

E = 0.01 × 25

E = 0.25Joules.

Hence the energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is 0.25Joules
