Does heat flow towards cold?​

Physics
1 answer:
Liula [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

And unless people interfere, thermal energy — or heat — naturally flows in one direction only: from hot toward cold. Heat moves naturally by any of three means. The processes are known as conduction, convection and radiation. Sometimes more than one may occur at the same time.

A 10 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension in the rope (in Newtons) if the box is stationary
Archy [21]

Answer:

T = 98 N

Explanation:

The gravity of the earth is known to be 9.8 m/s²

Data:

  • m = 10 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • T = ?

Use formula:

  • \boxed{\bold{T=m*g}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{T=10\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{T=98\ N}}}

The tension in the rope is <u>98 Newtons.</u>

An electron is placed on a line connecting two fixed point charges of equal charge but the opposite sign. The distance between t
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a)    F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2} ),   b) x = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a) In this problem we use that the electric force is a vector, that charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

         F =k \frac{q_2q_2}{r^2}

         

Since when we have the two negative charges they repel each other and when we fear one negative and the other positive attract each other, the forces point towards the same side, which is why they must be added.

          F_net= ∑ F = F₁ + F₂

let's locate a reference system in the load that is on the left side, the distances are

left side - electron       r₁ = x

right side -electron     r₂ = d-x

let's call the charge of the electron (q) and the fixed charge that has equal magnitude Q

we substitute

          F_net = k q Q  ( \frac{1}{r_1^2}+ \frac{1}{r_2^2})

          F _net = kqQ  ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(d-x)^2} )

         

let's substitute the values

          F_net = 9 10⁹  1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.50 10⁻⁹ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.30-x)^2} )

          F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2} )

now we can substitute the value of x from 0.05 m to 0.25 m, the easiest way to do this is in a spreadsheet, in the table the values ​​of the distance (x) and the net force are given

x (m)        F (N)

0.05        27.0 10-16

0.10          8.10 10-16

0.15          5.76 10-16

0.20         8.10 10-16

0.25        27.0 10-16

b) in the adjoint we can see a graph of the force against the distance, it can be seen that it has the shape of a parabola with a minimum close to x = 0.15 m

Which statement about electromagnet is true
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: It doesn’t function without a source of current

Explanation:

In an electromagnet, the magnetic field is generated by an electric current in a coil of wire which reinforces an iron core. But when the electric current applied on the mentioned core is disconnected, it immediately loses its magnetization. This also means that the intensity of the magnetic field can be controlled (increased or decreased) by changing the intensity of the electric current flowing through the nucleus.  

That is why an electromagnet does not work without electric current.
