Answer:

The Sun dumps a lot of thermal energy by sunlight into the atmosphere, and especially into the oceans. Basically, currents arise as warm equatorial waters move to the NORTH carrying heat, and as part of this flow, the cold polar waters go south and there get heated.

You are investigating an elevator accident which happened in a tall building. An elevator in this building is attached to a stro

Advocard [28]

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T = ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

One wire carries a current of I1= 2 Amps, and the other carries a parallel current (same direction, wires are side by side) of I

Yuki888 [10]

Answer: $F=3\times 10^{-5} N$

Explanation:

Given

$I_1=2 Amps$

$I_2=0.75 Amps$

Length of each wires $\left ( L\right )=5 m$

Distance between wires $\left ( r\right )=5 cm$

Force per unit length = $\frac{\mu_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}$

$F'=\frac{2\times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 0.75}{2\pi \times 0.05}$

$F'=6\times 10^{-6}$

Force for $L=5 m$

$F=3\times 10^{-5} N$

How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer

frosja888 [35]

We want to find how much momentum the dumbbell has at the moment it strikes the floor. Let's use this kinematics equation:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad

Vf is the final velocity of the dumbbell, Vi is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and d is the height of its fall.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (dumbbell starts falling from rest)

a = 10m/s² (we'll treat downward motion as positive, this doesn't affect the result as long as we keep this in mind)

d = 80×10⁻²m

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf² = 2(10)(80×10⁻²)

Vf = ±4m/s

Reject the negative root.

Vf = 4m/s

The momentum of the dumbbell is given by:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

m = 10kg

v = 4m/s (from previous calculation)

Plug in the values and solve for p:

p = 10(4)

p = 40kg×m/s

Starting from rest at a height equal to the radius of the circular track, a block of mass 24 kg slides down a quarter circular t

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The work done against friction is 372 joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of block, m = 24 kg

Radius of the track, r = 15 m

Acceleration due to gravity, $a=9.8\ m/s^2$

If the kinetic energy of the block at the bottom of the track is, 3900 J

Let P is the work done against friction. It is given by :

$P=mgh$

Here, h = r

$P=24\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 15\ m$

P = 3528 J

Since it ends up with 3900 J, the work done is given by or the lost in energy will be :

W = 3900 - 3528

W = 372 joules

So, the work done against friction is 372 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
