Transpiration Is the process that happens when plants do this.

In the water cycle, precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air can't hold it anymore. That's when the clouds get heavy and fall back to the earth in the form of rain,snow, or sleet.

The image produced by a convex mirror is always closer to the mirror than it would be in a plane mirror for the same object dist

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The image produced a convex mirror is always virtual irrespective of location. The size of the image is always smaller than the object. In a plane mirror the distance of the object and the distance of the image is same. But in a convex the image distance is always less than the object distance.

So, this statement is true.

A loaded ore car has a mass of 950 kg. and rolls on rails ofnegligible friction. It starts from rest ans is pulled up a mineshaf

stiks02 [169]

(a) 10241 W

In this situation, the car is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration along the direction parallel to the slope is zero, and so the net force along this direction is also zero.

The equation of the forces along the parallel direction is:

$F - mg sin \theta = 0$

where

F is the force applied to pull the car

m = 950 kg is the mass of the car

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$\theta=30.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the incline

Solving for F,

$F=mg sin \theta = (950)(9.8)(sin 30.0^{\circ})=4655 N$

Now we know that the car is moving at constant velocity of

v = 2.20 m/s

So we can find the power done by the motor during the constant speed phase as

$P=Fv = (4655)(2.20)=10241 W$

(b) 10624 W

The maximum power is provided during the phase of acceleration, because during this phase the force applied is maximum. The acceleration of the car can be found with the equation

$v=u+at$

where

v = 2.20 m/s is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 12.0 s is the time

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{2.20-0}{12.0}=0.183 m/s^2$

So now the equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the incline is

$F - mg sin \theta = ma$

And solving for F, we find the maximum force applied by the motor:

$F=ma+mgsin \theta =(950)(0.183)+(950)(9.8)(sin 30^{\circ})=4829 N$

The maximum power will be applied when the velocity is maximum, v = 2.20 m/s, and so it is:

$P=Fv=(4829)(2.20)=10624 W$

(c) $5.82\cdot 10^6 J$

Due to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy transferred out of the motor by work must be equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the car.

The change in potential energy of the car is:

$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
