Why does the needle of a compass point north?
a. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet repels it.
b. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north.
Because the northern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north
d. Because the Earth's core is made of steel.
C.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north.

Explanation:

This is very weird to think about but Earth's southern magnetic pole is in Earth's geographic north. So when compass points north, it is actually getting attracted to the southern magnetic pole (that is actually located in the north direction- geographic location- in earth).

Electronic flash units for camera contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit, the flash lasts for 1675s with an average light power output of 2.70 x 105 W . (a) If the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient ( the rest of the energy goes to thermal energy), how much energy must be stored in the capacitor for one flash

Answers

Answer:

420J

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of change in energy. Power is the ratio of energy to time. The S.I unit of power is in watts.

Given that the flash lasts for 1/675 s, power output is 2.7 * 10⁵ W. Hence:

Power = Energy / time

Substituting:

2.7 * 10⁵ W = Energy / (1/675)

Energy = 2.7 * 10⁵ W * 1/675 = 400J

Therefore the energy emitted as light is 400J.

Since the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient, hence the energy stored as electrical energy is:

Energy(capacitor) = 5% of 400J + 400J = 0.05*400 + 400

Energy(capacitor) = 420J

Which factor contributes the most to the process of water erosion?
A) evaporation
B) gravity
C) pressure
D) temperature
HELP

Answers

Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

Erosion is a natural process, but human activity can make it happen more quickly. Human activity altering the vegetation of an area is perhaps the biggest human factor contributing to erosion. Trees and plants hold soil in place.

Factor that contributes the most to the process of water erosion is Evaporation. The correct option is A.

What is evaporation?

Evaporation is the phenomenon of converting the liquid into gas phase by the addition of heat energy.

Erosion is also a natural phenomenon. Trees and plants hold soil in place and prevents the soil erosion. Just like that, the water erosion happens when more than natural evaporation happens due to increased heat by various factors.

Thus, Evaporation contributes the most to the process of water erosion. The correct option is A.

60.0 kg downhill skier is moving with a speed of 10.0 m/s as she starts her descent from a level plateau at 150.0 meters of height above the base of the slope below. The length of the slope is 650 meters. There is a frictional force of 70 N affecting the skier's motion while she coasts the entire descent without using her poles. Upon reaching the bottom she continues to coast to a stop. How much kinetic energy will she have at the bottom of the hill?

Answers

Answer:

She will have kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill=45700 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass, m=60 kg

Speed, v=10 m/s

Height, h=150 m

Length of slope, d=650 m

Frictional force, f=70 N

We have to find the kinetic energy she will have at the bottom of the hill.

Kinetic energy  at the bottom of the hill

=Initial kinetic energy+ mgh-fd

Substitute the values

Kinetic energy  at the bottom of the hill

=[tex]\frac{1}{2}(60)(10)^2+60\times 9.8\times 150-70\times 650[/tex]

=[tex]45700J[/tex]

Hence, she will have kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill=45700 J

An artificial sattelite is moving in a circular orbit of radius 42250km calculate its speed if it takes 24 hours to revolve around the earrth

Answers

Answer:

v = 11061.02 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of the circular orbit, r = 42250 km

Time taken to revolve around the Earth, t = 24 hours

We need to find the speed of the satellite. We know that, speed of an object is equal to total distance traveled divided by the time taken. So,

[tex]v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]v=\dfrac{2\pi \times 42250}{24}\\\\v=11061.02\ km/h[/tex]

So, the speed of the satellite is equal to 11061.02 km/h.

The voltage source (AVtot) is a 110.-V source and the resistor values are
15.4 QR1), 21.9 D (R2) and 11.7 Q (R3).
b. Determine the current in each branch resistor.
c. Determine the total current in the circuit.

Answers

Answer:

Bi. Current in 15.4 Ω (R₁) is 7.14 A.

Bii. Current in 21.9 Ω (R₂) is 5.02 A.

Biii. Current in 11.7 Ω (R₃) is 9.40 A.

C. Total current in the circuit is 21.56 A.

Explanation:

Bi. Determination of the current in 15.4 Ω (R₁)

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Resistance (R₁) = 15.4 Ω

Current (I₁) =?

V = I₁R₁

110 = I₁ × 15.4

Divide both side by 15.4

I₁ = 110 / 15.4

I₁ = 7.14 A

Therefore, the current in 15.4 Ω (R₁) is 7.14 A.

Bii. Determination of the current in 21.9 Ω (R₂)

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Resistance (R₂) = 21.9 Ω

Current (I₂) =?

V = I₂R₂

110 = I₂ × 21.9

Divide both side by 21.9

I₂ = 110 / 21.9

I₂ = 5.02 A

Therefore, the current in 21.9 Ω (R₂) is 5.02 A

Biii. Determination of the current in 11.7 Ω (R₃)

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Resistance (R₃) = 11.7 Ω

Current (I₃) =?

V = I₃R₃

110 = I₃ × 11.7

Divide both side by 11.7

I₃ = 110 / 11.7

I₃ = 9.40 A

Therefore, the current in 11.7 Ω (R₃) is 9.40 A.

C. Determination of the total current.

Current 1 (I₁) = 7.14 A

Current 2 (I₂) = 5.02 A

Current 3 (I₃) = 9.40 A

Total current (Iₜ) =?

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Iₜ = 7.14 + 5.02 + 9.40

Iₜ = 21.56 A

Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 21.56 A

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.8 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.8 kg bowling pin initially at rest. Find the final velocity of the second pin in the following situations: a) The first pin moves to the right after the collision at 0.8 m/s. Answer in units of m/s. 010 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points b) The first pin stops moving when it hits the second pin. Answer in units of m/s

Answers

Answer:

a) v₂ = 4.2 m/s

b) v₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2[/tex]

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0.8 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

[tex](1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0.8\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)\\v_2 = 5\ m/s - 0.8\ m/s[/tex]

v₂ = 4.2 m/s

b)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

[tex]m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2[/tex]

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

[tex](1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)[/tex]

v₂ = 5 m/s

An obect is placed 20cm from a convex mirror of focal length 12cm. where does the image form?

Answers

Answer:

7.5 cm behind the mirror

Explanation:

Applying,

Using the real is positive convection: All real distance from the mirror are positive

1/f = 1/v+1/u................. Equation 1

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance

From the question,

f = -12 cm, u = 20 cm

substitute these value into equation 1

1/(-12) = (1/20)+1/v

(-1/12)-(1/20) = 1/v

1/v = (-5-3)/60

1/v = -8/60

v = -60/8

v = -7.5 cm

Hence the image is formed 7.5 cm behind the mirror.

Una esfera de aluminio de 250 g a una temperatura de 230 °C se introduce en 450 g de alcohol a una temperatura de 18 °C. Determine la temperatura de equilibrio del sistema. El calor específico del aluminio es 911 J kg-1 °C-1 y para el alcohol 2100 J kg-1 °C-1.

Answers

Answer:

La temperatura de equilibrio del sistema es de aproximadamente 59,17 °C

Explanation:

La masa de la esfera de aluminio, m₁ = 250 g

La temperatura inicial de la esfera de aluminio, T₁ = 230 °C

La capacidad calorífica específica del aluminio, c₁ = 911 J / (kg·°C)

La masa del alcohol, m₂ = 450 g

La temperatura inicial del alcohol, T₂ = 18 ° C

La capacidad calorífica específica del alcohol, c₂ = 2,100 J/(kg·°C)

Observamos que el punto de ebullición del alcohol ≈ 78,37°C

Sea 'T' la temperatura de equilibrio del sistema, obtenemos;

ΔQ₁ = ΔQ₂

ΔQ₁ = Calor transferido desde el aluminio = m₁ · c₁ · (T₁ - T)

ΔQ₂ = Calor transferido al alcohol = m₂ · c₂ · (T - T₂)

∴ m₁ · c₁ · (T₁ - T) = m₂ · c₂ · (T - T₂)

Por lo tanto, por sustitución, obtenemos

250 × 911 × (230 - T) = 450 × 2100 × (T - 18)

Usando una calculadora gráfica, tenemos;

T = 277570/4691 °C ≈ 59,17 °C

La temperatura de equilibrio del sistema, T ≈ 59.17 °C
