Answer:

The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is that which a body or a system obtains as a result of the speed of its movement or its specific position, and which is capable of producing mechanical work. Then:

Potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in a position of rest, until it reaches a certain speed.

Kinetic energy is represented by the following formula:

Ec = ½ *m*v²

Where Ec is kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J), m is mass measured in kilograms (kg), and v is velocity measured in meters over seconds (m / s).

In this case:

  • m=0.547 kg
  • v= 5 m/s

Replacing:

Ec = ½ *0.547 kg*(5 m/s)²

and solving you get:

Ec= 6.8375 J

On the other hand, potential energy is the energy that measures the ability of a system to perform work based on its position. In other words, this is the energy that a body has at a certain height above the ground.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with the gravitational force. This will depend on the relative height of an object to some reference point, the mass, and the force of gravity. Then for an object with mass m, at height h, the expression applied to the gravitational energy of the object is:

Ep = m*g*h

Where Ep is the potential energy in joules (J), m is the mass in kilograms (kg) is h the height in meters (m) and g is the acceleration of fall in m / s² (approximately 9.81 m/s²)

In this case:

  • m= 0.547 kg
  • g= 9.81 m/s²
  • h= 2.30 m

Replacing

Ep= 0.547 kg *9.81 m/s²* 2.30 m

and solving you get:

Ep= 12.342 J

So:

Total mechanical energy= 12.342 J + 6.8375 J

Total mechanical energy= 19.1795 J≅ 19.2 J

<u><em>The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.</em></u>

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the
cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}

\mathbf{v_f  =\sqrt{151 m/s}}

\mathbf{v_f  =12.29 \ m/s}  

From the equation of continuity:

\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}

\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i =  r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 =  r_f^2 \times 12.29}

\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}

\mathbf{ r_f=  \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}

\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

At a certain instant, coil A is in a 10-T external magnetic field and coil B is in a 1-T external magnetic field. Both coils hav
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A) coil A

Explanation:

According to Faraday, Induced emf is given as;

E.M.F = ΔФ/t

ΔФ = BACosθ

where;

ΔФ  is change in magnetic flux

θ is the angle between the magnetic field, B, and the normal to the loop of area A

A is the area of the loop

B is the magnetic field

From the equation above, induced emf depends on the strength of the magnetic field.

Both coils have the same area and are oriented at right angles to the field.

Coil A has a magnetic field strength of 10-T which is greater than 1 T of coil B, thus, coil A will have a greater emf induced in it.

Which statement best describes the effect of the magnet on the block of
barxatty [35]

The magnet (south pole of the magnet) has magnetized the right side of the block.

<h3>Direction of electric field in the magnetic material</h3>

The direction of electric field of the atom of the magnetic material is unpolarized.

From the diagram in the image, the right hand side of the magnetic material is being attracted to south pole of the magnet.

Thus, we can conclude that, the magnet has magnetized the right side of the block.

Katarina [22]
The formula that we will going to use in this question is simply P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 where T is the constant.
P1V1 = P2V2 
P2 = P1V1/V2 = (V1 / V2) x P2 = (13.0 L / 6.5 L) x 0.76 atm = 1.5 atm 
The answer in this question is 1.5 atm
