Answer:

The magnetic force is 0.3 N.        

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in an unusual lightning strike, I = -400 A

The Earth’s magnetic field at that location is parallel to the ground and has a magnitude of 30 μT, B=30\times 10^{-6}\ T

We need to find the force exerted by the Earth’s magnetic field on the 25 m-long current.

The magnetic force is given by :

F=ILB\\\\F=400\times 25\times 30\times 10^{-6}\\\\F=0.3\ N

So, the magnetic force is 0.3 N.

What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef
AveGali [126]
The thermal efficiency of an engine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%
