Answer:

it is due to anamolous expansion of water as water cools from 4dg.c to 0dg.c. it expand making ice lighter than water to float

At a distance D from a very long (essentially infinite) uniform line of charge, the electric field strength is 1000 N/C. At what

Alla [95]

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

We know that, the E is inversely proportional to the distance as follows :

$E=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$

We can write it as follows :

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1000}{2000}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d})^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{1000}{2000}}=(\dfrac{d_2}{D})\\\\0.7071=\dfrac{d_2}{d}\\\\d_1=0.7071D\\\\d_1=\dfrac{D}{\sqrt2}$

So, the correct option is (a).

An automobile steering wheel is shown. What is the ideal mechanical advantage? If the AMA is 8, what is the efficiency of the st

Mars2501 [29]

1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

$IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}$

where

$r_w$ is the radius of the wheel

$r_a$ is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that $r_w = 18 cm$ and $r_a=2 cm$ , so the IMA is

$IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9$

2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

$\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100$

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

$\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%$

A student has designed a circuit with one battery, two light bulbs, and two switches, pictured to the left. She would like for e

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The bulb is not powered because the negative end of the battery is not connected to the electric current,making it dysfunctional. The electrons have to flow through the positive and negative ends of the battery in order for it to work.

Hope this helps.

Two pendulum bobs have equal masses and lengths (8.100 m). bob a is initially held horizontally while bob b hangs vertically at

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Since both hv same mass and elsstic collision, so their velocity will exchange. Bob A will stop and bob B will move with speed of A just before the collision.

Speed will be = squreroot ( 2*g*L)

L is length of pendulum

The main illustration in the video shows the life track of a one-solar mass star. Each point along this track represents _______

REY [17]

Each point along the track of one solar mass star represents the star's surface temperature and luminosity at one time.

<h3>What is the one-solar mass star?</h3>

A star having a mass equal to the mass of the Sun is called a one-solar mass star.

Its life track shows the luminous intensity as well as the surface temperature.
