When an electric dipole is subjected to an electric field, it experiences a torque given by the equation torque = p x E = p E sinθ, where θ represents the angle between p and E. The torque will be zero when θ equals 0, aligning both p and E, which is a stable orientation. If θ is 180°, the torque also equals zero since p and E point in opposite directions, representing an unstable orientation because even a slight deflection will revert to the stable position due to torque from the electric field.

Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

The performance of the heat pump can be calculated using the formula

β = TH / (TH - TC)

a.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = - 20 ° C + 273.15 K = 253.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 253.15 K)

β = 8.23 K

b.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = 5 ° C + 273.15 K = 278.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 278.15 K)

β = 28.815 K

A 55 kg gymnast wedges himself between two closely spaced vertical walls by pressing his hands and feet against the walls. Part
ValentinkaMS [3465]

answer:

Let frictional forces due to both hands and feets be "Ff" each(since its given that they all are equal), acting in upward direction( in opposite direction of supposed motion).\\
Then since there is no motion of gymnast thus net frictional force due to both hands and feets will be exactly balanced by the weight of the gymnast,\\ i.e\\
4f_{f}=weight =mg\\
f_{f}=\frac{55x9.8}{4}\\
=134.75N

The magnitude of the electric current is inversely proportional to the _____ of the circuits in R2D2.
Keith_Richards [3271]
The essential principle for this question is Ohm’s Law: V=IR, I=V/R, R=V/I. Therefore, the answer is (3) Resistance, as it is inversely related to Current (I=V/R).

A proton moves along the x-axis with vx=1.0×107m/s. As it passes the origin, what are the strength and direction of the magnetic
inna [3103]

Answer:

At this position, the magnetic field equals ZERO

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a moving charge is described as

B = \frac{\mu_0 qv sin\theta}{4\pi r^2}

Here, we determine the direction of the magnetic field using

\hat B = \hat v \times \hat r

Thus, we find

\hat B = \hat i \times (\hat i + 0\hat j + 0\hat k)

Leading to a magnetic field of ZERO

Consequently, when the charge moves in the same line as the given position vector, the magnetic field will be nonexistent

Initially, the magnetic domains within the nail were oriented in various directions before coming into contact with the bar magnet. Upon Taylor touching the nail to the bar magnet, the magnetic fields of those domains became aligned, thus transforming the nail into a temporary magnet.
