Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Because water has higher specific heat capacity than water, land usually gets heated and loses heat faster than water.

During a warm day, the air above land gets heated quickly more than the air above water. This warm, less dense air above land begins to rise, creating a low pressure in the process. This paves way for the denser, cold air above water to replace the vacuum created by the warm air above land.

<em>The directional movement of air from water to land is what is known as the sea breeze in coastal areas.</em>

Two high-current transmission lines carry currents of 29.0 A and 78.0 A in the same direction and are suspended parallel to each

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$I_1=29 A$

$I_2=78 A$

$d=38 cm=\frac{38}{100}=0.38 m$

$1 m=100 cm$

a.Length of segment,l=20 m

Magnetic force ,F= $\frac{2\mu_0I_1I_2 l}{4\pi d}$

$\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}=10^{-7}$

Substitute the values

$F=\frac{10^{-7}\times 29\times 78\times 20}{0.38}=0.0119 N$

Hence, the magnetic force exert by each segment on the other=0.0119 N

b.We know that when current carrying in the wires are in same direction then the force will attract to each other.

Hence, the force will be attractive.

Answer: The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

The room temperature will be the point at which the themometric substance remains constant when rising from ice point.

Explanation:

Apparatus available:

Unmarked thermometer

250 cm3 glass beaker

crushed ice

water

heatproof mat

clamp, boss and stand

meter rule

Added apparatus

Bunsen burner

Stirrer

Method

The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

Procedures

Set up the apparatus of illustrated in the attached figure.

Immerse the unmarked thermometer into the ice in the beaker.

When the level indicated by the thermometric substance remains steady after some time, a mark will be made at that point. This mark will corresponds to the ice point (lower fixed point) and is assigned the value of 0 °C.

You may add little water and continue to stir gently.

The themometric substance will start to rise and stop when it reaches room temperature. Mark the point but do not assign any value

Place the beaker on bunsen burner and boil the water. The themometric substance will continue to rise and remain constant at upper fixed point

This mark will corresponds to the steam point (upper fixed point) and is assigned the value of 100 °C.

Divide between the lower fixed point and upper fixed point into equal intervals. Then you can see the value of room temperature.

Xavier is roller skating at 14 km/h and tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h. The speed of the keys relative to

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

22 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of Xavier, v = 14 km/h

He tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h, v' = 8 km/h

We need to find the speed of the keys relative to the ground. Let it is V.

As both Xavier and the keys are moving in same diretion. The relative speed wrt ground is given by :

V = v+v'

V= 14 + 8

V = 22 km/h

So, the speed of the keys relative to the ground is 22 km/h.

An automobile engine delivers 47.4 hp. how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.82 × 105 j of work? one horsepower is e

kogti [31]

1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, so the power of the engine is
$P=47.4 hp \cdot 746 \frac{W}{hp}=35360 W$
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
$P= \frac{E}{t}$
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is $E=6.82 \cdot 10^5 J$ . Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate the time t needed to do this amount of work:
$t = \frac{E}{P}= \frac{6.82 \cdot 10^5 J}{35360 W}=19.3 s$
