Answer: The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

According to the law conservation of the mechanical energy, the total mechanical energy in a closed system remains constant in the absence of friction.

In the given problem, a child is sliding down a slide at the playground.

When a child is on the top of the slide then the he has more potential energy. When he starts slides down the slide then the kinetic energy starts increasing.

At the bottom of the slide, he has more kinetic energy.

But some energy is lost here due to friction. Hence, the mechanical energy is not conserved.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

A proton moves in the negative x-direction through a uniform magnetic field in the negative y-direction what is the direction of

ANEK [815]

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction. The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the right-hand thumb rule?</h3>

Hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current then wrap your fingers around the conductor and orient them in the direction of the magnetic field lines.

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction.

The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page.

Hence, option B is correct.

From the average distance of one of jupiter's moons to jupiter and its orbital period around jupiter, we can determine:

den301095 [7]

Answer: Jupiter's mass

Explanation:

From Kepler's third law:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

where T is the orbital period of a satellite, a is the average distance of the satellite from the Planet, M is the mass of the planet, G is the gravitational constant.

If the average distance of one of Jupiter's moons to Jupiter and its orbital period around Jupiter is given then mass of the Jupiter can be found:

$\Rightarrow M_J=\frac{4\pi^2}{GT_m^2}a_m^3$

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$
