Describe how an iron tyre is fitted onto the wheel of a train.

Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

The tyre is a hoop of steel that is fitted around the steel wheel centre and a groove on inside diameter of a flange face. The diameter inside is machined to be slightly less than the wheel diameter at the centre on which it is mounted to give an interference fit.

One particular confound for the use of an adoption study of heritability is the phenomenon of _____ placement, in which a child

Tresset [83]

Answer:

D) selective

Explanation:

The selective placement in the adoption studies refers to practice by which the adoption agencies tend to match some definite characteristics of the adopted child's adopted parents than that of child's biological parents.

It results in the correlation of the environments between the biological relatives raised in two different homes.

<u>For example, when the child is placed in a home which is similar to the home of the biological parents.</u>

Consider a cube with one corner at the origin and with sides of length 50 cm positioned along the x y z axes. There is an electr

lara [203]

Answer:

Charge in the cube = Q = (2.323 × 10⁻¹⁰) C

Explanation:

E → = < 45, 210 y , 0 > N/C

The length of the cube = 50 cm = 0.8 m

To find the charge in the cube, we need the net flux in the cube

In the z-direction, the electric field is 0, no, net flux in that direction,

In the x-direction, the electric field is constant, the same flux thay enters the face at x = 0 is the same that leaves at x= 0

50 cm, hence, no net flux in that direction too.

But the y direction, the electric field changes according to 210y from y = 0 to y = 0.50 m.

At y = 0, electric field = 210(0) = 0 N/C

At y = 0.50, electric field = 210(0.5) = 105 N/C.

Electric flux = Φ = E A = 105 (0.5 × 0.5) = 26.25 Vm or N/m²C

(the area of the xz plane that the field in this direction passes through is indeed 0.5²)

But according to Gauss' law, the net flux in a box is given by

Φ = Q/ε₀

where Q = charge in the box = ?

ε₀ = (8.85 × 10⁻¹²) C²N·m².

Q = Φε₀ = 26.25 × 8.85 × 10⁻¹²

Q = (2.323 × 10⁻¹⁰) C

Hope this Helps!!!

Two horizontal rods are each held up by vertical strings tied to their ends. Rod 1 has length L and mass M; rod 2 has length 2L

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Rod 1 has greater initial angular acceleration; The initial angular acceleration for rod 1 is greater than for rod 2.

Explanation:

For the rod 1 the angular acceleration is

$\tau_1 = I_1\alpha _1 \\\\\alpha_1 = \dfrac{\tau_1}{I_1}$

Similarly, for rod 2

$\alpha_2 = \dfrac{\tau_2}{I_2}.$

Now, the moment of inertia for rod 1 is

$I_1 = \dfrac{1}{3}ML^2$ ,

and the torque acting on it is (about the center of mass)

$\tau_1 = Mg\dfrac{L}{2};$

therefore, the angular acceleration of rod 1 is

$\alpha_1 = \dfrac{Mg\dfrac{L}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{3}ML^2},$

$\boxed{\alpha_1 = \dfrac{3g}{2L} }$

Now, for rod 2 the moment of inertia is

$I_2 = \dfrac{1}{3}(2M)(2L)^2$

$I_2 = \dfrac{8}{3} ML^2,$

and the torque acting is (about the center of mass)

$\tau _2 = (2M)g \dfrac{(2L)}{2}$

$\tau _2 = 2MgL;$

therefore, the angular acceleration $\alpha_2$ is

$\alpha_2 = \dfrac{2MgL;}{\dfrac{8}{3} ML^2,}.$

$\boxed{\alpha_2 = \dfrac{3g}{4L}}$

We see here that

$\dfrac{3g}{2L} > \dfrac{3g}{4L}$

therefore

$\boxed{\alpha_1 > \alpha_2.}$

In other words , the initial angular acceleration for rod 1 is greater than for rod 2.
