Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Wind is created due to the pressure difference and it blows from a region of higher pressure to a region of low pressure.

Atmosphere refers to the envelope of gases that surrounds the earth. It is comprised of various types of gases which are present in various amount.

The wind blowing away sand in a desert environment describes the interaction between the geosphere and the atmosphere as the wind is a part of the atmosphere and the sand is a part of the geosphere.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

The Sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems. The Sun emits . When an organism obtains nutrients by feeding on other o

Vlad1618 [11]

The scientific law of one organism feeding off to other where energy is transferred from one form to another is known as the law of conservation of energy.

Explanation-

Energy from the the highest energy source that is sun is absorbed by plants to convert it into food (i.e a form of energy). plants are the only ones that can convert sunlight into another form of energy directly.

The animals and organisms that feed off of the plants take some part of this energy for their life cycles and then the animals that feed off of these animals again take some part of this energy and carry on with their life cycle, this is how energy from sun (highest source) is transferred to different organisms by Just changing form.

The rear wheel on a clown’s bicycle has twice the radius of the front wheel. (a) When the bicycle is moving, is the linear speed

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a). same as

b). less than

Explanation:

a). When a bicycle is moving, the linear speed at the top of the rear wheel is same as the linear speed at the top of the front wheel. Since the clown's bicycle is a rigid body, both the wheels that is the front wheel and the rear wheel will move with the same linear speed.

b). Since we know that angular speed varies inversely to the radius of the wheel.

That is ω = 1 / r

Since the rear wheel has twice the radius of that of the front wheel, therefore real wheel will have less angular speed than the front wheel.

Therefore, the angular speed of the rear wheel is less than the angular speed of the front wheel.

The concrete post (Ec = 3.6 × 106 psi and αc = 5.5 × 10-6/°F) is reinforced with six steel bars, each of 78-in. diameter (Es = 2

masha68 [24]

Answer:

the normal stress induced by the concrete post $\sigma_c = 67.26 psi$

the normal stress induced by the steel $\sigma_s = - 1795.84 psi$

Explanation:

Given that:

Modulus for elasticity for concrete post $E_c$ = $3.6 *10^6$ psi

Thermal coefficient for concrete post $\alpha _c$ = $5.5 *10^{-6}/^0F$

Modulus for elasticity of steel bar $E_s$ = $29*10^6psi$

Thermal coefficient of steel bar $\alpha _2$ = $6.5*10^{-6}/^0F$

Change in temperature ΔT = 80°F

Diameter of the steel rood = 7/8-in

Area of the steel rod $A_s$ = $6(\frac{ \pi}{4} )(d_s)^2$

= $6(\frac{ \pi}{4} )(\frac{7}{8} )^2$

= 3.61 in²

Area of concrete parts $A_c$ = (10)(10) - $A_s$

= (100 - 3.61) in²

= 96.39 in²

The total strain developed in the concrete post can be expressed as:

= $[\frac{1}{E_cA_c}+\frac{1}{E_sA_s}]P=(\alpha_s-\alpha_c)(\delta T)$

= $[\frac{1}{(3.6*10^6)(96.39)}+\frac{1}{(29*10^6)(3.61)}]P=(6.5*10^{-6}-5.5*10^{-6})(80)$

= $[(2.88*10^{-9}) +(9.55*10^{-9}]P = 8.0*10^{-5}$

= $1.234*10^{-8}P = 8.0*10^{-5}$

$P = \frac {8.0*10^{-5}}{1.234*10^{-8}}$

P = 6482.98 lb

Since, the normal stress in concrete is induced as a result of temperature rise; we have the expression :

$\sigma_c =\frac{P}{A_c}$

$\sigma_c = \frac{6482.98}{96.39}$

$\sigma_c = 67.26 psi$

Thus, the normal stress induced by the concrete post $\sigma_c = 67.26 psi$

Also; the normal stress in the steel bars induced as a result of temperature rise is as follows:

$\sigma_s = \frac{-P}{A_s}$

$\sigma_s =\frac{-6482.98}{3.61}$

$\sigma_s = - 1795.84 psi$

Thus, the normal stress induced by the steel $\sigma_s = - 1795.84 psi$

A 50-kg platform diver hits the water below with a kinetic energy of 5000 Joules. The height (relative to the water) from which

artcher [175]

Answer:

h = 10 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of platform = 50 Kg

Kinetic energy = 5000 J

height from which the diver dove = ?

taking acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy

K.E = P.E

K.E = m g h

5000 = 50 x 10 x h

500 h = 5000

$h = \dfrac{5000}{500}$

h = 10 m

The height from which the diver dove is equal to h = 10 m
