(a) Define moment of a force (1mk)

Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?

solniwko [45]

Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.

g At some point the road makes a right turn with a radius of 117 m. If the posted speed limit along this part of the highway is

user100 [1]

Answer:

Ф = 28.9°

Explanation:

given:

radius (r) = 117m

velocity (v) = 25.1 m/s

required: angle Ф

Ф = inv tan (v² / (r * g)) we know that g = 9.8

Ф = inv tan (25.1² / (117 * 9.8))

Ф = 28.9°

A loop of wire is in a magnetic field such that its axis is parallel with the field direction. Which of the following would resu

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

All the given options will result in an induced emf in the loop.

Explanation:

The induced emf in a conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux.

$emf = -\frac{d \phi}{dt} \\\\where;\\\\\phi \ is \ magnetic \ flux\\\\\phi = BA\ cos \theta$

where;

A is the area of the loop

B is the strength of the magnetic field

θ is the angle between the loop and the magnetic field

Considering option A, moving the loop outside the magnetic field will change the strength of the magnetic field and consequently result in an induced emf.

Considering option B, a change in diameter of the loop, will cause a change in the magnetic flux and in turn result in an induced emf.

Option C has a similar effect with option A, thus both will result in an induced emf.

Finally, considering option D, spinning the loop such that its axis does not consistently line up with the magnetic field direction will change the angle between the loop and the magnetic field. This effect will also result in an induced emf.

Therefore, all the given options will result in an induced emf in the loop.

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t

Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

$W = U_f - U_i$
