Answer:

volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

The volcanic eruptions are the ones that manage to cause changes to the lithosphere by building up new material on the surface. Through the volcanic eruptions we have release of pyroclastic material on the surface, and more importantly and in much higher amount lava flows. The lava flows quickly cool off on the surface on the Earth, and as they do they pile up new layers of igneous rocks, thus new crust on the surface of the Earth, causing changes on the lithosphere and shaping it for the foreseeable future.

A single-turn current loop carrying a 4.00 A current, is in the shape of a right-angle triangle with sides of 50.0 cm, 120 cm, a

pantera1 [17]

Given that,

Current = 4 A

Sides of triangle = 50.0 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm

Magnetic field = 75.0 mT

Distance = 130 cm

We need to calculate the angle α

Using cosine law

$120^2=130^2+50^2-2\times130\times50\cos\alpha$

$\cos\alpha=\dfrac{120^2-130^2-50^2}{2\times130\times50}$

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(0.3846)$

$\alpha=67.38^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle β

Using cosine law

$50^2=130^2+120^2-2\times130\times120\cos\beta$

$\cos\beta=\dfrac{50^2-130^2-120^2}{2\times130\times120}$

$\beta=\cos^{-1}(0.923)$

$\beta=22.63^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the force on 130 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{130}=ILB\sin\theta$

$F_{130}=4\times130\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin0$

$F_{130}=0$

We need to calculate the force on 120 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{120}=ILB\sin\beta$

$F_{120}=4\times120\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin22.63$

$F_{120}=0.1385\ N$

The direction of force is out of page.

We need to calculate the force on 50 cm side

Using formula of force

$F_{50}=ILB\sin\alpha$

$F_{50}=4\times50\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin67.38$

$F_{50}=0.1385\ N$

The direction of force is into page.

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic force on each of the three sides of the loop are 0 N, 0.1385 N and 0.1385 N.

Stacy measures two quantities: the mass of each washer and the force that the washers exert on the force meter. In general, how

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

When she adds more washers to the meter, the magnitude of force that is shown on the force meter increases.

Explanation:

The force that the washers exert on the force meter is actually the weight of the washers. Weight is actually a force with gravitation acceleration.

F = W = mg

Where g is gravitational acceleration and its value is 9.81 m/s² and m is the mass of any object. As she adds more washers to the meter so the total mass of the washers increases. As the mass of the washers increases, magnitude of the force (Weight) shown on the force meter increases.

A very long, straight wire has charge per unit length 3.50×10^−10 C/m . At what distance from the wire is the electricfield magn

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

r= 2.17 m

Explanation:

Conceptual Analysis:

The electric field at a distance r from a charge line of infinite length and constant charge per unit length is calculated as follows:

E= 2k*(λ/r) Formula (1)

Where:

E: electric field .( N/C)

k: Coulomb electric constant. (N*m²/C²)

λ: linear charge density. (C/m)

r : distance from the charge line to the surface where E calculates (m)

Known data

E= 2.9 N/C

λ = 3.5*10⁻¹⁰ C/m

k= 8.99 *10⁹ N*m²/C²

Problem development

We replace data in the formula (1):

E= 2*k*(λ/r)

2.9= 2*8.99 *10⁹*(3.5*10⁻¹⁰/r)

r =( 2*8.99 *10⁹*3.5*10⁻¹⁰) / (2.9)

r= 2.17 m

For a particular reaction, the change in enthalpy is 51kJmole and the activation energy is 109kJmole. Which of the following cou

Ronch [10]

Answer

given,

change in enthalpy = 51 kJ/mole

change in activation energy = 109 kJ/mole

when a reaction is catalysed change in enthalpy between the product and the reactant does not change it remain constant.

where as activation energy of the product and the reactant decreases.

example:

ΔH = 51 kJ/mole

E_a= 83 kJ/mole

here activation energy decrease whereas change in enthalpy remains same.
