Answer:

A. They never cross

Explanation:

The magnetic field lines cannot be crossed, since this would mean that there would be more than one value for the magnetic field at the same point, that is, at the point where the lines intersect. Therefore, the resulting magnetic field vector at a point in space, where the field takes place, is unique.

torisob [31]

The temperature of an air parcel and the kinetic energy of an air parcel are directly related. this means that as the temperature of the air parcel increases, the kinetic energy increases.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the measure of degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Temperature is also the measure of the average kinetic energy of a system.

When the heat is applied to body, its temperature increases as the body gains heat.

Thus, the temperature of an air parcel and the kinetic energy of an air parcel are directly related. this means that as the temperature of the air parcel increases, the kinetic energy increases.

A capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has radius 11.0 cm ,

viktelen [127]

Part A)
First of all, let's convert the radii of the inner and the outer sphere:
$r_A = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m$
$r_B = 16.5 cm=0.165 m$
The capacitance of a spherical capacitor which consist of two shells with radius rA and rB is
$C=4 \pi \epsilon _0 \frac{r_A r_B}{r_B- r_A}=4\pi(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1}) \frac{(0.110m)(0.165m)}{0.165m-0.110m}=$
$=3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F$

Then, from the usual relationship between capacitance and voltage, we can find the charge Q on each sphere of the capacitor:
$Q=CV=(3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F)(100 V)=3.67\cdot 10^{-9}C$

Now, we can find the electric field at any point r located between the two spheres, by using Gauss theorem:
$E\cdot (4 \pi r^2) = \frac{Q}{\epsilon _0}$
from which
$E(r) = \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$
In part A of the problem, we want to find the electric field at r=11.1 cm=0.111 m. Substituting this number into the previous formula, we get
$E(0.111m)=2680 N/C$

And so, the energy density at r=0.111 m is
$U= \frac{1}{2} \epsilon _0 E^2 = \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(2680 N/C)^2=3.17 \cdot 10^{-5}J/m^3$

Part B) The solution of this part is the same as part A), since we already know the charge of the capacitor: $Q=3.67 \cdot 10^{-9}C$ . We just need to calculate the electric field E at a different value of r: r=16.4 cm=0.164 m, so
$E(0.164 m)= \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=1228 N/C$

And therefore, the energy density at this distance from the center is
$U= \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2 = \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(1228 N/C)^2=6.68 \cdot 10^{-6}J/m^3$

A skateboarder is skating back and forth on the halfpipe as seen below. As he skates his energy transforms from potential energy

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that in absence of frictional forces, the mechanical energy of an object (given by the sum of its kinetic and potential energy) is conserved. In such a situation, the skateboarder would never stop his motion, because potential energy is continuously converted into kinetic energy and vice-versa, but the total energy remains the same so he would never stop.

In a real world, however, this is not true. In fact, in a real world some frictional force are present, in particular:

- friction: this force is due to the contact between the skateboard and the surface of the halfpipe, and its direction is always opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

- Air resistance: this force is due to the resistance opposed by the molecules of air that the skateboarder meets during his motion, and its direction is also opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

This two forces are said to be non-conservative forces, which means that they cause some of the mechanical energy of the skateboarder to be "lost", in the sense that it is dissipated as heat and it is no longer available for the skateboarder.

Therefore, the correct option is

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

Waves transport

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.

Light travels faster in warmer air. On a sunny day, the sun can heat a road and create a layer of hot air above it. Let's model

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.

n = c / v

If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index

nh < nc

Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:

n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)

sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2

If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then

n1 = nh

n2 = nc

Then:

n1 < n2

So:

n1/n2 < 1

The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.
