Answer:

Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida, the land surface is also sinking. If the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, sea level along the Florida coast is likely to rise one to four feet in the next century. Rising sea level submerges wetlands and dry land, erodes beaches, and exacerbates coastal flooding.

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

A 5.0-kg box is pulled by a horizontal force F applied to the top of the box. When the box meets a low doorstep, it begins to ro

NARA [144]

Answer:

the required minimum magnitude of the force F is 21 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

m = 5 kg

width = 60 cm

height = 80 cm

Let force is F represent in the image below,

so when the block about to rotate normal shifted to edge of cube

mg(w/2) = Fh

F = mg(w/2) / h

we know that g = 9.8 m/s²

we substitute

F = (5 × 9.8 ( 60/2)) / 70

F = (5 × 9.8 × 30 ) / 70

F = 1470 / 70

F = 21 N

Therefore, the required minimum magnitude of the force F is 21 N
