Answer:

Yes it is possible to control to some extent.

Explanation:

In general there are two types of magnets : permanent and temporary (electromagnets).

Electromagnets can be controlled since it basically depends on electricity. By switching on and off the electric supply the magnets also can be switched on and off respectively. We can also control the intensity of magnetic power.

On the other hand permanent magnet cannot be switched on and off but the magnetic properties can be altered event to an extent when it loses all its magnetic properties. It can be caused by high temperature, physical impact and also exposure to other magnetic fields. For every element there is a point of temperature called curie temperature above which the permanent magnet loses its magnetic properties. This can be brought back again by induced magnetism. The only issue is that induced magnetism work in most cases but not in all.

Convert 0.700 atm of pressure to its equivalent in millimeters of mercury.

inna [77]

Answer:

532 millimeters of mercury

Explanation:

In order to convert the pressure from atm to millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), we should remind the conversion factor between the two units:

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Therefore, we can solve the problem by setting up the following proportion:

$1 atm : 760 mmHg = 0.700 atm : x$

Solving for x, we find

$x=\frac{(760 mmHg)(0.700 atm)}{1 atm}=532 mmHg$

On a hot day, the temperature of a 65,000-L swimming pool increases by 1.20°C. What is the net heat transfer during this heating

vichka [17]

Answer:

326149.2 KJ

Explanation:

The heat transfer toward and object that suffered an increase in temperature can be calculated using the expression:

Q = m*cv*ΔT

Where m is the mass of the object, cv is the specific heat capacity at constant volume, which basically means the amount of heat necessary for a 1kg of water to increase 1C degree in temperatur, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

A 65000 L swimming pool will have a mass of:

65000L * $\frac{1m^3}{1000L} * \frac{1000kg}{1m^3}$ = 65000 kg

The specific heat capacity at constant volume of water is equal to 4.1814 KJ/KgC.

We replace the data and get:

Q = m*cv*ΔT = 65000 kg * 4.1814 KJ/KgC * 1.2°C = 326149.2 KJ

As long as all the waves stay in the same medium, the intensity of
any waves ... electromagnetic or mechanical ... decrease in proportion
to the square of the distance.

If the distance increases to 3 x the original distance, then the intensity
changes to 1/3² or 1/9 of the original intensity.

I suppose choice-'d' is the correct one, but I have to tell you that
the phrase "nine times as low" is mathematically meaningless,
and it really grinds my gears.
