A scientist places a strip of hot metal on top of a block of another metal with a lower melting point. The second metal quickly

melts. What is the main type of heat transfer responsible?
Select one:
a. Convection, because the metals touch and cold from the block moves to the warmer strip of metal, cooling it down
b. Conduction, because both metals are in the sun and melt as the sun's rays heat them
c. Convection, because heat from the strip of metal heats the air around it, and then that warm air heats the metal block
d. Conduction, because the heat energy is absorbed by the metal atoms in the block. Once they have absorbed enough energy, they become liquid

Answer:

D:

Explanation:

Conduction because the heat energy is transferring directly from the separate metals convection involves "currents" like in a liquid or a gas. When you turn on the stove with a pot of water on the burner the water at the bottom of the pot gets heated first almost immediately this water rises and cooler water falls. Basically the water is "stirring" or shifting, exchanging the heat energy this is why water heats so evenly.

An electron moves in a region where the magnetic field is uniform and has a magnitude of 80 μT. The electron follows a helical p
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

3.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Consider the circular motion of the electron

B = magnetic field = 80 x 10⁻⁶ T

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v  = radial speed

r = radius of circular path = 2 mm = 0.002 m

q = magnitude of charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

For the circular motion of electron

qBr = mv

(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (80 x 10⁻⁶) (0.002) = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) v

v = 2.8 x 10⁴ m/s

Consider the linear motion of the electron :

v' = linear speed

x = horizontal distance traveled = 9 mm = 0.009 m

t = time taken = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} = \frac{2\pi (9.1\times 10^{-31})}{(1.6\times 10^{^{-19}})(80\times 10^{-6})} = 4.5 x 10⁻⁷ sec

using the equation

x = v' t

0.009 = v' (4.5 x 10⁻⁷)

v' = 20000 m/s

v' = 2 x 10⁴ m/s

Speed is given as

V = sqrt(v² + v'²)

V = sqrt((2.8 x 10⁴)² + (2 x 10⁴)²)

v = 3.4 x 10⁴ m/s

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

  1. On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
  2. On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)

⇒Fa=2.24Fb

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950  

⇒Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950

⇒2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950

⇒Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}

⇒ Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5

⇒Fa=2.24*Fb

      =2.24*345.5

      =773.93

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N
