In this question, you are given the energy( 500,000btus) and the temperature difference( 100F-20F= 80F). You are asked to find the volume of water.
1 BTU mean 1 degree of F increased for 1 pound mass. First, we can calculate the mass of the water in lb unit. The calculation would be:

mass= energy/temperature increase = 500,000/80= 6250lb.

Then we need to convert the weight into gallons. The calculation would be:
6250lb x kg/2.204lb x 1kg/m3 x 264.172 gallons/m3= 3638969.3 gallons

In a 1.25-T magnetic field directed vertically upward, a particle having a charge of magnitude 8.50μC and initially moving north
Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) The sign of the charge is positive.

b) The magnetic force on the particle is 0.050 newtons.

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a moving charge with velocity v passing through a magnetic field B is:

\overrightarrow{F}=q\overrightarrow{v}\times\overrightarrow{B}(1)

a)

Because it is a cross product, we can find the direction of the force using the right-hand rule, that is too the direction of the movement. We have two possibilities here because the velocity vector and magnetic field are perpendicular: the particle deflects towards east or toward west, which depends on the charge of the particle. Note that if you put your right hand fingers, except thumb, pointing towards north (direction of velocity) and later close them in the direction of the magnetic field, if you maintain your thumb perpendicular to this movement it will point towards east (See figure), so that will be de direction of the force if the charge is positive, but if the charge is negative, the direction will be opposite (towards west). So the charge has to be positive to deflects towards east.

b)

Now by 1:

F=qvB\sin\theta=(8.50\times10^{-6})(4750)(1.25)\sin90\simeq\mathbf{0.050\,N}

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

E/4

Explanation:

The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

Where;

E is the electric field

σ is the surface charge density

ε₀ is the electric constant.

Formula to calculate σ is;

σ = Q/A

Where;

Q is the total charge of the sheet

A is the sheet's area.

We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;

A = d²

So;

σ = Q/d²

Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.

From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;

E_new = E/4

A hot air balloon of total mass M (including passengers and luggage) is moving with a downward acceleration of magnitude a. As i
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The fraction of mass that was thrown out is calculated by the following Formula:

M - m = (3a/2)/(g²- (a²/2) - (ag/2))

Explanation:

We know that Force on a moving object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration given as:

F = ma

And there is gravitational force always acting on an object in the downward direction which is equal to g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Here as a convention we will use positive sign with acceleration to represent downward acceleration and negative sign with acceleration represent upward acceleration.

Case 1:

Hot balloon of mass = M

acceleration = a

Upward force due to hot air = F = constant

Gravitational force downwards = Mg

Net force on balloon is given as:

Ma = Gravitational force - Upward Force                              

Ma = Mg - F                      (balloon is moving downwards so Mg > F)

F = Mg - Ma

F = M (g-a)

M = F/(g-a)

Case 2:

After the ballast has thrown out,the new mass is m. The new acceleration is -a/2 in the upward direction:

Net Force is given as:

-m(a/2) = mg - F        (Balloon is moving upwards so F > mg)

F = mg + m(a/2)

F = m(g + (a/2))

m = F/(g + (a/2))

Calculating the fraction of the initial mass dropped:

M-m = \frac{F}{g-a} - \frac{F}{g+\frac{a}{2} }\\M-m = F*[\frac{1}{g-a} - \frac{1}{g+\frac{a}{2} }]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(g+(a/2)) - (g-a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{g+(a/2) - g + a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(3a/2)}{g^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{2}-\frac{ag}{2}} ]

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

specific purpose statement      

Explanation:

It is a specific purpose statement made for a persuasive speech on the question of fact.

A specific purpose statement helps to build on the general purpose (that is to inform) and to make it more specific to the audience. So if the first speech is an informative speech, our general purpose is to inform our audience about a very specific realm of knowledge.

A specific purpose statement is given to audience to persuade on specific information.
