Answer:

Powerful electromagnets are fitted on top of guideways either ttract or repel the magents fitted on the bottom of train. The froce of attraction/repulsion rasies the train in hovering position.

Explanation:

Magentic fields exist between two opposite/like poles. The poles do not have to be touching each other. They can be separated by a distance in a medium that doesn' block magnetic field.

In magelv train the magnetic forces between two poles are used to operate the train. The two poles are separated by train body and air.

A 72-kg skydiver is falling from 10000 feet. At an instant during the fall, the skydiver

MissTica

Answer:

Approximately $2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

Assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be $W = m \cdot g = 72 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 706.32\; \rm N$ (points downwards.)

Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.

Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}F(\text{net force}) &= W - F(\text{air resistance})\\ &= 706.32\; \rm N - 540\; \rm N =166.32\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \\ &= \frac{166.32\; \rm N}{72\; \rm kg} = 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure

yKpoI14uk [10]

<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to <u>compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification. </u>

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So,<u> as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy. </u>

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.

When talking about variables in a scientific experiment, describe how you know what the independent variable, dependent variable

Mnenie [13.5K]

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The frequencies are $(f, f_1) = (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the ear canal is $l = 1.3 \ cm =\frac{1.3}{100} = 0.013 \ m$

The speed of sound is assumed to be $v_s = 344 \ m/s$

Now taking look at a typical ear canal we see that we assume it is a closed pipe

Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }$

substituting values

$f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }$

$f = 6615.4 \ Hz$

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f_1 = \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}$

substituting values

$f_1 = \frac{3 * 344}{4 * 0.013}$

$f_1 = 19846.2 \ Hz$

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child will have an increased audible sensitivity at this frequencies
