A) Describe the energy changes that occur in a waterwheel.

1 answer:

7 0

A) Water is moving from a point of bigger height to a point of a lower height, This changes the kinetic and potential energies of water. Some of the kinetic energy of water is transfered to a waterwheel. This causes water wheel to spin. Spining waterwheel has rotational energy. Also waterwheel is rotating around certain point. This causes friction and there is frictional energy.

B)To light LED we need electric energy. To create electric energy we need a generator. Generator consists of a rotor (a magnet) and a stator (copper wire). If we attach a magnet to waterwheel and a wire somewhere close to waterwheel the electric energy would be induced. This energy can be used to light LED.

As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0

Alika [10]

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

$v = 6 m/s$

acceleration of the bus is given as

$a = 2 m/s^2$

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

$a = -2 m/s^2$

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)$

$-36 = - 4 d$

$d = 9 m$

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

$\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m$

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance

Which statement best describes the importance of joints in the roadways of Bridges ?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

c. Joints allow the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge

Explanation:

The reasons why joints are allowed on roadway is to accommodate the contraction and expansion of the road as cars put force on them.

Most materials used in making roadways are susceptible to expansion and contraction.
When a measure of force is applied their length either increases or decreases depending on the type of force.
To accommodate these changes, joints are placed in roadways

Which Of The Following Statements Are True?

aksik [14]

Answer:

A) The north pole of a bar magnet will attract the south pole of another bar magnet.

B) Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole.

E) The south poles of two bar magnets will repel each other.

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This means that if we break a magnet in half, we will have two magnets, where each new magnet will have a new south pole, and a new north pole.

This is because for classical physics, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.

In this context, Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.

Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.

And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).
