Answer:

Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland

Explanation:

Sea ice is a frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. It is formed between the Antarctic and Arctic hemisphere. It disappears in summer but not completely. The countries that experienced sea ice in 1986 were eight (8) in number but the countries bordered by open water were in September 2017 were Norway, Iceland, Finland and Russia.

andrew-mc [135]

When the child is moving, he/she has kinetic energy. For just a brief second before they move the other way, the child is not moving, but they have gravitational potential energy.

The child may need a push from time to time because friction with the air causes loss of energy.

You are helping two friends from our class with a physics problem where a cart is pushed up a ramp. In examining the motion of t

stiks02 [169]

Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.

Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.

Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.

Explanation:

Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.

<u>For vertical acceleration:</u>

If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.

In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.

<u>For horizontal acceleration:</u>

This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.

But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power

So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

$E = P * t$

$E = 600 * 4 = 2400 Wh$

$E = 2.4 kWh$

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

$E = 365 * 2.4 = 876 kWh$

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

$P_1 = 876 * 10 = 8760 cents = $87.60$

Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs

So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

$E = P * t$

$E = 300 * 4 = 1200 Wh$

$E = 1.2 kWh$

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

$E = 365 * 1.2 = 438 kWh$

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

$P_1 = 438 * 10 = 4380 cents = $43.80$

total money saved in 1 year

$Savings = 87.6 - 43.8 = $43.80$

What is the relationship between the wavelength of the peak (maximum) of the Gaussian curve and the temperature in degrees Kelvi

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}$

Explanation:

Wien's displacement law states that the radiation of the black body curve for different temperatures will give peak values at different wavelengths and this wavelength is related inversely to the temperature.

Formally the law of Wien displacement states that the black body's spectral radiation per unit of wavelength, will give peaks at the wavelength of $\lambda_{max}$ which is given by the mathematical expression.

$\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}$

Here, b is proportionality constant with value of $2.897771955...\times 10^{-3} mK$

The wavelength of the peak of the Gaussian curve is inversely related to temperature in degree kelvin.
