Answer:

15.7

Explanation:

Since N1 sin(angle1)= N2 sin(angle2), you can set up the equation to find the missing angle using inverse sin( 1.00 sin(21.2)/ 1.33). You would then get that the other angle is equal to 15.7 or 15.8 if you round up. I hope this helped! :)

When someone pushes a large rock down a hill what energy change occurs?

Snezhnost [94]

kinetic energy into potential energy.

when the rocks go down it will be kinetic energy but when the rock reach the bottom of the hill it will be converted into potential energy.

A 1.20-m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.570 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1

nasty-shy [4]

(a) $1.72\cdot 10^{-5} \Omega m$

The resistance of the rod is given by:

$R=\rho \frac{L}{A}$ (1)

where

$\rho$ is the material resistivity

L = 1.20 m is the length of the rod

A is the cross-sectional area

The radius of the rod is half the diameter: $r=0.570 cm/2=0.285 cm=2.85\cdot 10^{-3} m$ , so the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (2.85\cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=2.55\cdot 10^{-5} m^2$

The resistance at 20°C can be found by using Ohm's law. In fact, we know:

- The voltage at this temperature is V = 15.0 V

- The current at this temperature is I = 18.6 A

So, the resistance is

$R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{15.0 V}{18.6 A}=0.81 \Omega$

And now we can re-arrange the eq.(1) to solve for the resistivity:

$\rho=\frac{RA}{L}=\frac{(0.81 \Omega)(2.55\cdot 10^{-5} m^2)}{1.20 m}=1.72\cdot 10^{-5} \Omega m$

(b) $8.57\cdot 10^{-4} /{\circ}C$

First of all, let's find the new resistance of the wire at 92.0°C. In this case, the current is

I = 17.5 A

So the resistance is

$R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{15.0 V}{17.5 A}=0.86 \Omega$

The equation that gives the change in resistance as a function of the temperature is

$R(T)=R_0 (1+\alpha(T-T_0))$

where

$R(T)=0.86 \Omega$ is the resistance at the new temperature (92.0°C)

$R_0=0.81 \Omega$ is the resistance at the original temperature (20.0°C)

$\alpha$ is the temperature coefficient of resistivity

$T=92^{\circ}C$

$T_0 = 20^{\circ}$

Solving the formula for $\alpha$ , we find

$\alpha=\frac{\frac{R(T)}{R_0}-1}{T-T_0}=\frac{\frac{0.86 \Omega}{0.81 \Omega}-1}{92C-20C}=8.57\cdot 10^{-4} /{\circ}C$

Mike's car, which weighs 1,000 kg, is out of gas. Mike is trying to push the car to a gas station, and he makes the car go 0.05

Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: F = 50 N

Explanation:

Data

mass = 1000 kg

acceleration = 0.05m/s2

F = ?

Formula

F = m x a

Substitution

F = 1000 kg x 0.05 m/s2 = 50 kgm/s2 = 50 N

Mike is applying a force of 50 N to the car.
