Answer:

<em>The amount of water in circulation is the same</em>

Explanation:

The water cycle is the pathway in which water moves from the atmosphere to the earth and back to atmosphere ones again.

During the sunny period, the temperature of the earth is heated up, water evaporates to the atmosphere as water vapour. The water vapour gathers as cloud and comes back to the earth as rain, which enters our rivers and stream. Thereby maintaining a continuous cycle.

With the water cycle, the movement of water via precipitation and evaporation is the same on earth.

Two long, straight parallel wires 8.2 cm apart carry currents of equal magnitude I. The parallel wires repel each other with a f

o-na [289]

Answer:

36.22 mA

Explanation:

i1 = I , i2 = I, d = 8.2 cm = 0.082 m

Force per unit length = 3.2 nN/m = 3.2 x 10^-9 N/m

μo = 4 π × 10^-7 Tm/A

The formula for the force per unit length between the two wires is given by

F = μo / 4π x (2 i1 x i2) / d

3.2 x 10^-9 = 10^-7 x 2 x I^2 / 0.082

I = 0.0362 A = 36.22 mA

A solid sphere of weight 42.0 N rolls up an incline at an angle of 36.0°. At the bottom of the incline the center of mass of the

Answer:

Part a)

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{5} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10}(\frac{42}{9.81})(5.10^2)$

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

By mechanical energy conservation law we know that

Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere

So we will have

$mgLsin\theta = KE$

$\frac{42}{9.81}(9.81)L sin36 = 77.95$

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

by equation of energy conservation we know that

$\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgL sin\theta$

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

The kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.

eimsori [14]

E=(mV^2)/2
m=1000kg, V=20m/s
then, E=(1000kg*(20m/s)^2)/2
E=(1000*400)/2 J = 200000J

The velocity of an object is positive and steadily increasing. Which of the following graphs represents how the acceleration of

stiv31 [10]

If an object's velocity is steadily increasing it means that the acceleration is constant at a certain value.

Choice A shows an acceleration of zero which would only be true if the object was not moving or if its velocity was not changing.

Choice B gives us a graph showing acceleration increasing over time and is therefore incorrect.

Choice C is correct because the acceleration is constant. Steadily increasing tells us that the acceleration is fixed at a certain value.

Choice D is incorrect an represents a constant negative acceleration. This would be the case if the object was steadily decreasing in velocity.
