Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , it is possible .

When a negative charge moves towards a positive charge , it is moving in the direction of increasing electrical potential . In the whole process , its electrical potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases .

Actually the potential energy of a negative charge near a positive charge is negative and it is inversely proportional to distance .

V = - Qq / R , When R decreases , the negative value of potential increases . That means potential energy decreases .

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is $T_2 = 39^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are given

$T_1 = 98 F$

$T_2 = 39^oC$

$T_3 = 303 \ K$

Generally converting $T_3$ to Fahrenheit

$T_3' = (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = 86 F$

Converting $T_2$ to Fahrenheit

$T_2' = T_2 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' = 39 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' =102.2 F$

Now comparing the temperature in Fahrenheit we see that $T_2$ is the hottest

A 2.5 kg tribble is placed in a bucket and whirled in a 1.4 m radius vertical circle at a constant tangential speed. If the forc

Over [174]

Given that,

Mass of a tribble, m = 2.5 kg

Radius, r = 1.4 m

The force on the tribble from the bucket does not exceed 10 times its weight.

To find,

The maximum tangential speed.

Solution,

The force acting on the tribble is equal to the centripetal force.

F = 10mg

The formula for the centripetal force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

v is maximum tangential speed

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{mgr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{{10gr}} \\\\v=\sqrt{10\times 9.8\times 1.4} \\\\v=11.7\ m/s$

So, the maximum tangential speed is 11.7 m/s.

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti

Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N
