Answer:

B. Convection

D. Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction and convection are the two most prominent processes that helps transfer energy outward to the earth's crust.

Energy within the core is a function of the radioactive decay and frictional heating.
Also, heat that accreted during the formation of the earth is a significant source of internal energy.
The heat is conducted away by the process of convection. This is possible due to temperature differences between different parts of the earth
Conduction is made made possible due to the metallic bodies in the core and other part of the inner earth.

An airplane flies at 150 km/hr. (a) The airplane is towing a banner that is b = 0.8 m tall and l = 25 m long. If the drag coef-

maw [93]

Answer:

Power requirement P for the banner is found to be 30.62 W
Power requirement P for the solid flat plate is found to be 653.225 W
Answer for part(c) is explained below in the explanation section and can be summarized as: The main difference between the drags and power requirements of the two objects of same size was due to their significantly different drag-coefficients. The Cd for banner was given, whereas the Cd for a flat plate is generally found to be around 1.28 which is the value we used in our calculations that resulted in a huge increase of power to tow the flat plate
Power requirement P for the smooth spherical balloon was found to be 40.08 W

Explanation:

First of all we will establish variables and equations known that are known to us to solve this question. Since we are given the velocity of the airplane:

v = velocity of airplane i.e. 150 km/hr. To convert it into m/s we will divide it by 3.6 which gives us 41.66 m/s
The density of air at s.t.p (standard temperature pressure) is given as d = 1.225 kg / m^3
The power can be determined this equation: P = F . v, where F represents the drag-force that we will need to determine and v represents the velocity of the airplane
The equation to determine drag-force is: $F = 1/2 * d * C_d * A$

In the drag-force equation Cd represents the co-efficient of drag and A represents the frontal area of the banner/plate/balloon (the object being towed)

Frontal area A of the banner is : 25 x 0.8 = 20 m^2

Part a) We will plug in in the values of Cd, d, A in the drag-force equation i.e. Fd = 1/2 * 0.06* 1.225 * 20 = 0.735 N. Now to find the power P we will use P = F . v i.e. 0.735 * 41.66 = 30.62 W

Part b) For this part the only thing that has fundamentally changed is the drag-coefficient Cd since it's now of a solid flat plate and not a banner. The drag-coefficient of a flat plate is approximately given as : Cd_fp = 1.28

Now we will plug-in our values into the same equations as above to determine drag-force and then power. i.e. Fd = 1/2 * 1.28 * 1.225 * 20 = 15.68 N. Using Fd to determine power, P = 15.68 * 41.66 = 653.225 W

Part c) The main reason for such a huge power difference between two objects of same size was due to their differing drag-coefficients, as drag-coefficients are generally large for objects that are not of a streamlined shape and leave a large wake (a zone of low air pressure behind them). The flat plate being solid had a large Cd where as the banner had a considerably low Cd and therefore a much lower power consumption

Part d) The power of a smooth sphere can be calculated in the same manner as the above two. We just have to look up the Cd of a smooth sphere which is found to be around 0.5 i.e. Cd_s = 0.5. Area of sphere A is given as : pi* r^2 (r = d / 2). Now using the same method as above:

Fd = 1/2 * 0.5 * 3.14 * 1.225 = 0.962 N

P = 0.962 * 41.66 = 40.08 W

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

$E_1 = E_2$

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

$\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}$

now we will have

$\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}$

now square root both sides

$\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}$

now we have

$\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1$

so we have

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

A 117 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 62.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²

Explanation:

Mass of platform; m1 = 117 kg

Radius; r = 1.61 m

Moment of inertia here is;

I1 = m1•r²/2

I1 = 117 × 1.61²/2

I1 = 151.63785 kg.m²

Mass of person; m2 = 62.5 kg

Distance of person from centre; r = 1.05 m

Moment of inertia here is;

I2 = m2•r²

I2 = 62.5 × 1.05²

I2 = 68.90625 kg.m²

Mass of dog; m3 = 28.3 kg

Distance of Dog from centre; r = 1.43 m

I3 = 28.3 × 1.43²

I3 = 57.87067 kg.m²

Thus,moment of inertia of the system;

I_syst = I1 + I2 + I3

I_syst = 151.63785 + 68.90625 + 57.87067

I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²
