Answer:

Mechanical

Explanation:

The tank is at rest. And energy of any substance at rest is known as potential energy.

Now, in forms of energy, potential energy is a type of mechanical energy.

Thus, the correct option is mechanical Energy.

Compare the current in the 8-ohm resistors to the current in the 4-ohm resistors.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

a) i₈ = 0.5 i₄, b) i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃, i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈

Explanation:

For this exercise we use ohm's law

V = i R

i = V / R

we assume that the applied voltage is the same in all cases

let's find the current for each resistance

R = 4 Ω

i₄ = V / 4

R = 8 Ω

i₈ = V / 8

we look for the relationship between these two currents

i₈ /i₄ = 4/8 = ½

i₈ = 0.5 i₄

R = 3 Ω

i₃ = V3

R = 10 Ω

i₁₀ = V / 10

we look for relationships

i₁₀ / 1₃ = 3/10

i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃

i₁₀ / 1₈ = 8/10

i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈

Once a baseball has been hit into the air, what forces are acting upon it? How can you tell that any forces are acting upon the

Tom [10]

Well, its in the air, so the air is "upon" the ball. and when it comes down...you catch it, and throw it, and get someone out, and win the game, and just keep doing that, and boooommm you're and pro baseball player. Life is good

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Time interval;Δt ≈ 37 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Angular deceleration;α = -1.6 rad/s²

Initial angular velocity;ω_i = 59 rad/s

Final angular velocity;ω_f = 0 rad/s

Now, the formula to calculate the acceleration would be gotten from;

α = Change in angular velocity/time interval

Thus; α = Δω/Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

So, α = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

Making Δt the subject, we have;

Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/α

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Δt = (0 - 59)/(-1.6)

Δt = -59/-1.6

Δt = 36.875 seconds ≈ 37 seconds

A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 165cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise

Explanation:

Given data

initial circumference = 165 cm

rate = 12.0 cm/s

magnitude = 0.500 T

tome = 9 sec

to find out

emf induced and direction

solution

we know emf in loop is - d∅/dt ........1

here ∅ = ( BAcosθ)

so we say angle is zero degree and magnetic filed is uniform here so that

emf = - d ( BAcos0) /dt

emf = - B dA /dt ..............2

so area will be

dA/dt = d(πr²) / dt

dA/dt = 2πr dr/dt

we know 2πr = c,

r = c/2π = 165 / 2π

r = 26.27 cm

c is circumference so from equation 2

emf = - B 2πr dr/dt ................3

and

here we find rate of change of radius that is

dr/dt = 12/2π = 1.91 $10^{-2}$ cm/s

so when 9.0s have passed that radius of coil = 26.27 - 191 (9)

radius = 9.08 $10^{-2}$ cm

so now from equation 3 we find emf

emf = - (0.500 ) 2π(9.08 $10^{-2}$ ) 1.91 $10^{-2}$

emf = - 0.005445

and magnitude of emf = 0.005445 V

so

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise
