lara31 [8.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is greater than that on Earth. On Jupiter, a person will weigh .
Lerok [7]
The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 24.79 m/s²,
compared to 9.8 m/s² on Earth ... a ratio of about 2.53 .

So if a person or object were somehow transported to Jupiter,
he/it would weigh

           (2.53) times (Earth weight)

there.

Estimate the change in gravitational potential energy when a person with mass 80 kg rise from bed to a standing position. Assumi
Doss [256]

Answer:

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 392 J

Explanation:

given data

mass of the person m  = 80 kg

height of the centre of mass Δh = 0.50 m

to find out

change in gravitational potential energy

solution

we get here change in gravitational potential energy that is express here as

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = m × g × Δh     .........1

put here value we get

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = m × g × Δh

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 80 × 9.8 × 0.50

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 392 J

What is the gravitational force of attraction between a planet and a 17-kilogram mass that is falling freely toward the surface
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 150 N

Explanation:

Gravitational Force: This is the force that act on a body under gravity.

The gravitational force always attract every object on or near the earth's surface. The earth therefore, exerts an attractive force on every object on or near it.

The S.I unit of gravitational force is Newton(N).

Mathematically, gravitational force of attraction is expressed as

(i) F = GmM/r² ........................ Equation 1 ( when it involves two object of different masses on the earth)

(ii) F = mg ............................... Equation 2 ( when it involves one mass and the gravitational field).

Given: m = 17 kg, g = 8.8 m/s²

Substituting into equation 2,

F = 17(8.8)

F = 149.6 N

F ≈ 150 N.

Thus the gravitational force = 150 N

The correct option is a. 150 N

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

0.5504

Explanation:

We can use Bay's theorem to solve this question

P( No physics career/fail) = P(No Physics career and fail)/P(Fail)

= P( Fail/ No physics career)×P( no physics career)/P( fail)

=\frac{0.3\times1}{(0.7\times0.35)+(0.3\times1)}

=0.5504
