what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec

1 answer:

7 0

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.

Show that the energy of a magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B is U--m B

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

showm

Explanation:

Consider a dipole having magnetic moment 'm' is placed in magnetic field $\vec{B}$ then the torque exerted by the field on the dipole is

$\tau = m\times B$

$\tau=mBsin\alpha$

Now to rotate the dipole in the field to its final position the work required to be done is

$U=\int \tau d\alpha$

$U=\int mBsin\alpha d\alpha$

$U= -mBcos\alpha$

$U=-\vec{m\times \vec{B}}$

Minimum energy mB is for the case when m is anti parallel to B.

Minimum energy -mB is for the case when m is parallel to B.

PLEASE HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS AND THIS IS TIMED

mixer [17]

(C)

Explanation:

The circle has a radius r = 0.5 m, which means that its circumference C is

$C = 2\pi r = 2\pi(0.5\:\text{m}) = 3.14\:\text{m}$

One revolution means that the stopper travels a distance equal to the circumference of the circle so the velocity of the stopper is

$v = \dfrac{C}{t} =\dfrac{3.14\:\text{m}}{0.2\:\text{s}} = 15.7\:\text{m/s} \approx 16\:\text{m/s}$

The thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space is called

Olenka [21]

Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the thermal transfer occurs:

1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the direct contact.

2. By Convection, heat transfer in fluids (like water or the air, for example).

3. By Radiation, by the electromagnetic waves (they can travel through any medium and in vacumm)

So, in the outter space is vacuum, this means the energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. It must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium, and this is called radiation.
