Explanation:

When the wire is connected to a battery, the compass needle moves and changes its position. This happens because the needle magnetizes the copper wire, thus,  creating a force.

While the current in the wire produces a magnetic field and exerts a force on the needle. The insulation on the wire becomes energized and exerts a force on the needle. Hence, the compass needle moves and changes its position.

What is thermal energy?A hot potato at 100 ºF is placed in a bowl of soup at 80 ºF. The surrounding room is at 65ºF. Which corre
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1. Thermal Energy is the internal energy that is produced from the temperature of a heated substance/object.

2. From the potato to the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room

Explanation:

1. When an object or substance is heated it causes a rise in temperature which makes the atoms and molecules within the object move/vibrate faster and collide with each other. This kinetic energy energy comes from the temperature of the object being heated and is the thermal energy.

2. The atoms present in a hot object have higher kinetic energy when compared to a colder object and usually flow towards the colder object. This is why it is possible for the hot potato whose temperature is higher than the bowl of soup to flow towards the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room.

Two particles are moving with positions given by x= 4t^2−2t and x= 6t^3+8t respectively.
Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

<em>a)Which of the two has uniform acceleration?</em>

Acceleration is the second derivative of position.  The acceleration of the first particle is:

x = 4t² − 2t

v = 8t − 2

a = 8

The acceleration of the second particle is:

x = 6t³ + 8t

v = 18t² + 8

a = 36t

The first particle has uniform acceleration.

<em>b)Which one is likely to come to rest at some time during its motion?</em>

The particles come to rest when v = 0.  The first particle's velocity has a real zero at t = 4.  The second particle's velocity has only imaginary zeros, meaning v is never 0.
