Answer:

When a metal is heated, the free electrons gain

c. kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is an energy possessed by an object due to its movement.

Metals contain free electrons which are called delocalised electrons, they move freely, when a metal is heated they vibrate and move more quickly - this electrons gain kinetic energy from the excess vibrating ions. They move around thereby transferring some of their energy to the nearby particles

Calculate the total energy of 2.0 kg object moving horizontally at 10 m/s 50 meters above the surface

mina [271]

We have:

Total Energy: KE + GPE
KE (Kinetic Energy) = $\frac{1}{2} m*v^2$
GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) = $m*g*h$

Data:
m (mass) = 2.0 Kg
v (speed) = 10 m/s
h (height) = 50 m
Use: g (gravity) = 10 m/s²

Formula:

Total Energy: KE + GPE
$TE = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2 + m*g*h$

Solving:
$TE = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2 + m*g*h$
$TE = \frac{1}{2} *2.0*10^2 + 2.0*10*50$
$TE = \frac{2.0*100}{2} + 1000$
$TE = \frac{200}{2} + 1000$
$TE = 100 + 1000$
$\boxed{\boxed{TE = 1100\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

An uncharged, nonconducting, hollow sphere of radius 10.0cm surrounds a 10.0-μC charge located at the origin of a Cartesian coor

MrMuchimi

The electric flux through the hole is $56.45\ webber$ .

Electric flux is the number of electric field lines cutting through the surface and is measured as surface intregal of electric field over that surface
Mathematically it is given by $\phi_E=E.A \ Nm^2/C$ where E is the electric field and A is the area.
Gauss's law states that electric flux through closed surface is equal to the 1 / ε₀ times the charge enclosed by that surface which is given by Ф = q / ε₀ where q is the central charge and ε₀ is the permittivity of the medium.

It is given , hollow sphere of radius 10.0cm surrounds a 10.0-μC charge.

The whole surface of hollow sphere $= 4\pi r^2$

$= 4\times 3.14\times (10 \times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\= 12.56\times 10^{-2} m^2$

Area of the hole ( both side ) $= 2\times \pi r^2$

$= 2\times 3.14 \times (10^-^3)^2\\= 6.28 \times 10^-^6 m^2$

According to Gauss's theorem, the flow from a particular charge in the center is given by

$\phi= \frac{10\times10^-^6}{8.85\times 10^-^1^2}\\\\\phi=1.13\times10^6$

This flux flows through the surface of the sphere, so the flux per unit area which is given by

$= \frac{ 1.13\times 10^6 }{ 12.56\times 10^-^2} \\\\= 8.99 \times 10^6 \ weber / m^2$

Flux through area of hole is given by :

$= 8.99\times10^6 \times6.28 \times 10^-^6\\ = 56.45 \ weber$

Toy car in a science experiment covers 1.6 meters in half a second. If a the car travels at a steady speed, how far will it go i

Tanzania [10]

The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
$v= \frac{d}{t}$ ⇒ $d=v*t$

It is given:
$v = \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s} = 3.2 m/s$
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
$d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m$

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock as you prepare to dock, which line should you secure first?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Bow Line

Explanation:

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock, bow line should be secured first.

1- We should cast off the bow and stern lines.

2-With the help of an oar or boat hook, keep the boat clear of the dock.

3-Leave the boat on its own for sometime and let the wind or current carry the boat away from the dock.

4 - As you see there is sufficient clearance, shift into forward gear and slowly leave the area.
