Answer:

C. 1 month

Explanation:

The moon orbits around the earth once in a time of 27.322 days and it also takes about 27 days to orbit around its own axis. Due to this the moon is not seem to be spinning and it always seems still to observer who is observing from the Earth.

The moon takes about almost 1 month to make 1 revolution around the Earth . It also takes approximately the same time to make one rotation about its axis. This is why we always see the same face of the moon.

A 20 cm-long wire carrying a current of 6 A is immersed in a uniform magnetic field of 3 T. If the magnetic field is oriented at
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

the  magnitude of the force that the wire will experience = 1.8 N

Explanation:

The force on a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field is :

F = Idl × B

where:

I = current flowing through the wire

dl = length of the wire

B = magnetic field

We can equally say that :

|F| = IdlBsin \theta

where : sin θ is the angle at which the orientation from the magnetic field  to the wire occurs = 30°

Then;

|F| = B\ I \ L \ sin \theta

Given that:

L = 20 cm = 0.2 m

I = 6 A

B = 3 T

θ = 30°

Then:

F = 3 × 6 × 0.2 sin 30°

F = 1.8 N

Therefore, the  magnitude of the force that the wire will experience = 1.8 N

The two forces acting on a skydiver are __________ and air _____________.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

  • When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
  • It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
  • Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
  • This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
  • Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

A net force of 50 newtons is applied to a 20 kilogram cart that is already moving at 1 m/s the final speed of the cart was 3 m/s
valina [46]

Answer:

0.8 seconds

Explanation:

F=ma

Let x be the seconds the force is applied.

m = 20kg

F = 50 Newtons (kg*m/sec^2)

acceleration, a, is provided for x seconds to increase the speed from 1 m/s to  3 m/s, an increase of 2m/s

Let's calculate the acceleration of the cart:

F=ma

(50 kg*m/s^2) = (20kg)*a

a = 2.5 m/s^2

---

The acceleration is 2.5 m/s^2.  The cart increases speed by 2.5 m/s every second.  

We want the number of seconds it takes to add 2.0 m/sec to the speed:

(2.5 m/s^2)*x = 2.0 m/s

x = (2.0/2.5) sec

x = 0.8 seconds

Heat gained minus work fine is equal to what?
Zina [86]

Heat transferred - Work done = Internal Energy

Explanation:

  • If there is more heat transfer than the work done, the energy difference is called internal energy
  • The first law of thermodynamics equation is given as ΔU=Q−W where, ΔU = Internal energy; Q = Heat transfer; W = Work done
  • Heat = transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures
  • Work = force used to transfer energy between a system and its surroundings
  • The First Law of Thermodynamics states - energy can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat, work and internal energy
  • Energy cannot be created nor destroyed
