Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Movement of molecules of a substance is dependent on temperature also. This is because energy obtained by an object due to its motion is known as kinetic energy.

Also, $K.E \propto \frac{3}{2}kT$

Hence, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature which means that when there is increase in temperature then there will occur an increase in molecular movement of the substance.

Similarly, a decrease in temperature will lead to a decrease in molecular movement of the substance.

Thus, we can conclude that temperature is a measure of molecular movement .

Identify the type of electrification of the road

Arte-miy333 [17]

Electrification is widely considered as a viable strategy for reducing the oil dependency and environmental impacts of road transportation. In pursuit of this strategy, most attention has been paid to electric cars. However, substantial, yet untapped, potentials could be realized in urban areas through the large-scale introduction of electric two-wheelers.

A person wishes to heat pot of fresh water from 20°C to 100°C in order to boil water for pasta. They calculate that their pot ho

nasty-shy [4]

Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100 degrees Celsius.

Required:
Heat produced

Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat produced in boiling 2 kg of water.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The magnetic force points in the positive z-direction, which corresponds to the upward direction.

Option 2 is correct, the force points in the upwards direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on any charge is given as the cross product of qv and B

F = qv × B

where q = charge on the ball thrown = +q (Since it is positively charged)

v = velocity of the charged ball = (+vî) (velocity is in the eastern direction)

B = Magnetic field = (+Bj) (Magnetic field is in the northern direction; pointing forward)

F = qv × B = (+qvî) × (Bj)

F =

| î j k |

| qv 0 0|

| 0 B 0

F = i(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(qvB - 0)

F = (qvB)k N

The force is in the z-direction.

We could also use the right hand rule; if we point the index finger east (direction of the velocity), the middle finger northwards (direction of the magnetic field), the thumb points in the upward direction (direction of the magnetic force). Hence, the magnetic force is acting upwards, in the positive z-direction too.

Hope this Helps!!!
