ryzh [129]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: A.True

Explanation: simply put the magnitude of the speed is a function of Distance while the magnitude of velocity is a function of Displacement. Displacement is the average Distance moved in different directions which will be smaller in magnitude compared to the Total Distance used the calculating the magnitude of speed.

True or False: The northern & southern lights are caused by solar wind particles interacting with gases in our atmosphere.
NARA [144]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

An aurora is a natural electric phenomenon that creates bright and colorful light displays in the sky. These dramatic and colorful lights are created when electrically charged particles from solar winds enter the Earth's atmosphere and interact with gases in the atmosphere.

Wildlife biologists are attempting to monitor the population size of the insect pest known as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar)
Elden [556K]

Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.

The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value.   The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Option B

a=19 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, \omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061

We know that speed, v=r\omega

Centripetal acceleration, a=\frac {v^{2}}{r} and substituting v=r\omega we obtain that

a=r\omega^{2}

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061  and r for 0.12

a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}

Rounded off, a=19 m/s^{2}

A rigid tank contains 1 kg of air (ideal gas) at 15 °C and 210 kPa. A paddle wheel supplies work input to the air such that fina
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

-58.876 kJ

Explanation:

m = mass of air = 1 kg

T₁ = Initial temperature = 15°C

T₂ = Final temperature = 97°C

Cp = Specific heat at constant pressure = 1.005 kJ/kgk

Cv = Specific heat at constant volume = 0.718 kJ/kgk

W = Work done

Q = Heat = 0 (since it is not mentioned we are considering adiabatic condition)

ΔU = Change in internal energy

Q = W+ΔU

⇒Q = W+mCvΔT

⇒0 = W+mCvΔT

⇒W = -mCvΔT

⇒Q = -1×0.718×(97-15)

⇒Q = -58.716 kJ
