Water has a high specific heat capacity. Oil has a smaller heat capacity.

Answer:

Because water has a high specific heat, each little bit of water flowing past can give lots of thermal energy to the ice cube. Oil has a smaller specific heat, and so more oil has to flow past to give the same amount of heat energy to the ice cube. ... Colder oil will melt ice less rapidly than warmer oil or water

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$\Delta p = 90.7 kPa$

Explanation:

specific gravity of oil is $= \frac{\rho_{oil}}{\rho_w}$

$\rho_{oil} = 0.85*1000 = 850 kg/m3$

we know that

change in pressure for oil is given as

$\Delta p = \rho gh$

here density and h is for oil

$\Delta p = 850*5 *9.81 = 41,692.5 kPa$

change in pressure for WATER is given as

$\Delta p = \rho gh$

here density is for water and h is for water

$\Delta p = 1000*5 *9.81 = 49,050 kPa$

pressure change due to both is given as

$\Delta p = 41692.3 + 49050 = 90742.5 N/m2$

$\Delta p = 90.7 kPa$

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a E = $1.685*10^3 N/C$

b E = $36.69*10^3 N/C$

c E = 0 N/C

d $V = 6.7*10^3 V$

e $V = 26.79*10^3V$

f V = $34.67 *10^3 V$

g $V= 44.95*10^3 V$

h $V= 44.95*10^3 V$

i $V= 44.95*10^3 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are given that

The first charge $q_1 = 2.00 \mu C = 2.00*10^{-6} C$

The second charge $q_2 =1.00 \muC = 1.00*10^{-6}$

The first radius $R_1 = 0.500m$

The second radius $R_2 = 1.00m$

$Generally \ Electric \ field = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1+\ q_2}{r^2}$

And $Potential \ Difference = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1 }{r}+\frac{q_2}{R_2} ]$

The objective is to obtain the the magnitude of electric for different cases

And the potential difference for other cases

Considering a

r = 4.00 m

$E = \frac{((2+1)*10^{-6})*8.99*10^9}{16}$

$= 1.685*10^3 N/C$

Considering b

$r = 0.700 m \ , R_2 > r > R_1$

This implies that the electric field would be

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r^2}$

This because it the electric filed of the charge which is below it in distance that it would feel

$E = 8*99*10^9 \frac{2*10^{-6}}{0.4900}$

= $36.69*10^3 N/C$

Considering c

r = 0.200 m

=> $r$

The electric field = 0

This is because the both charge are above it in terms of distance so it wont feel the effect of their electric field

Considering d

r = 4.00 m

=> $r > R_1 >r>R_2$

Now the potential difference is

$V =\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 + \ q_2}{r} = 8.99*10^9 * \frac{3*10^{-6}}{4} = 6.7*10^3 V$

This so because the distance between the charge we are considering is further than the two charges given

Considering e

r = 1.00 m $R_2 = r > R_1$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{1.00} \frac{1.00*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 26.79 *10^3 V$

Considering f

$r = 0.700 m \ , R_2 > r > R_1$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.700} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 34.67 *10^3 V$

Considering g

$r =0.500\m , R_1 >r =R_1$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V$

Considering h

$r =0.200\m , R_1 >R_1>r$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{R_1} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V$

Considering i

$r =0\ m \ , R_1 >R_1>r$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{R_1} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V$

A government agency estimated that air bags have saved over 14,000 lives as of April 2004 in the United States. (They also state

balu736 [363]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to momentum, momentum and Force. Mathematically the Impulse can be described as

$I = F*t$

Where,

F= Force

t= time

At the same time the moment can be described as a function of mass and velocity, that is

$P = m\Delta v \rightarrow P=m(v_1-v_2)$

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

From equilibrium the impulse is equal to the momentum, therefore

$I = p$

$Ft = m(v_1-v_2)$

PART A) Since the body ends at rest, we have the final speed is zero, so the momentum would be

$p=m(v_1-v_2)$

$p = 75*0.15$

$p = 1125Kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore the magnitude of the person's impulse is 1125Kg.m/s

PART B) From the equation obtained previously we have that the Force would be:

$Ft = m(v_1-v_2)$

$F(0.025)= 1125$

$F= 45000N$

Therefore the magnitude of the average force the airbag exerts on the person is 45000N
