Physics
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

d. changing refractive index of gases in the atmosphere

Explanation:

light from a star passes through the atmosphere to reach our eyes. however, the layers of gases in the atmosphere are in constant motion, so the light gets bent and appears to be flickering.

i hope this helps! :D

a 200 kg block is lifted at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s by a steel cable that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley to a m
Tresset [83]

Questions

(a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the cable?

(b) What is the magnitude of the torque exerted by the cable on the winch drum?

(c) What is the angular velocity of the winch drum?

(d) What power must be developed by the motor to drive the winch drum?

Answer:

(a) 1962 N

(b) 588.6 N.m

(c) 1.67 rads/s

(d) 982.962 W

Explanation:

(a)

Force, F=mg where m is the mass of the block and g is acceleration due to gravity. Taking the value of acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s2 and substituting 200 Kg for mass then the force exerted on the cable will be

F=200*9.81=1962 N

(b)

Torque is a product of force and distance. Since the force is already derived in part (a) above and the radius is given as 30 cm converted to m we have 0.3 m then torque, T= 1962*0.3=588.6 N.m

(c)

Angular velocity= \frac {v}{r} where v is the speed of block and r is the radius of the wheel. Substituting 0.5 m/s for v and 0.3 m for r then the angular velocity will be \frac {0.5}{0.3}=1.6667\approx 1.67 rads/s

(d)

Power, P is a product of torque and angular velocity and since torque is already given in part b above as 588.6 N and the angular velocity in part c then power, P= 588.6*1.67=982.962 W

Calculate the energy needed to heat 4 kg of water from 25°C to 45°C.
inna [77]
(1 cal/g °C) x (4000 g) x (45 - 25)°C = 80000 cal = 80 kcal. So the answer is 80 kcal .

A 12.7 L box is filled with 6.0 moles of Argon gas and cooled to a temperature of 210 K. What is the pressure?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

What adaptation does a wood frog have that enable it to survive in deciduous forest ?
sweet [91]

Wood frogs have this adaptation where they accumulate urea in their bodies and convert their liver glycogen to glucose to act as cryoprotectants. This prevents the formation of ice crystals in their bodies that could cause damage cells during freezing in winter.
