A sled drops 50 meters in height on a hill. The mass of the rider and sled is 70 kg and the sled is going 10 m/s at the bottom of the hill. What is the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70 kg

Height = 50 m

Velocity = 10 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50

P.E = 34300 J

For the kinetic energy;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²

K.E = 35 * 100

K.E = 3500

Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J

Output energy, O = 3500 J

Next, we find the efficiency;

Efficiency = O/I * 100

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100

Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100

Efficiency = 10.2 %

What is the electric field strenght in units of N/C if the flux through a 2.0m by 1.0m rectangular surface is 396Nm2/C, if the electric field is uniform, and if the plane of the surface is at an angle of π/3 radians with respect to the direction of the field ?

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "396 N/C".

Explanation:

The give values are:

Rectangular surface,

[tex]\Phi_e=396 \ N.m^2/C[/tex]

[tex]a = 2 \ m[/tex]

[tex]b = 1 \ m[/tex]

Angle,

[tex]\theta =\frac{\pi}{3} \ radian[/tex]

Now,

The area of rectangle (A) will be:

=  [tex]a\times b[/tex]

=  [tex]2\times 1[/tex]

=  [tex]2 \ m^2[/tex]

hence,

The electric field strength will be:

⇒  [tex]\Phi_e=E.A Cos \theta[/tex]

or,

⇒  [tex]E=\frac{\Phi_e}{ACos \theta}[/tex]

On putting the given values, we get

⇒      [tex]=\frac{396}{2\times Cos(\frac{\pi}{3} )}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=\frac{396}{2\times 0.5}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=\frac{396}{1}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=396 \ N/C[/tex]

Some liquid is poured into a burette so that it reads 14cm³.50 drops were run each of volume 0.1cm³ What is the volume of the 50 drops. (4marks)

Answers

Answer:

  V = 5 cm³

Explanation:

In this exercise the volume (Vo = 0.1 cm³) of each drop is indicated, requesting the volume of 50 drops

                      V = V₀    #_drops

                      V = 0.1   50

                      V = 5 cm³

Answer:

[tex]V_{50}=5cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Volume of liquid in burette [tex]V_b=14cm^3[/tex]

Volume of drop of liquid [tex]V_d=0.1cm^3[/tex]

Number of drops [tex]n=50[/tex]

Generally the equation for volume of 50 drops V_{50} is mathematically given by

 [tex]V_{50}=V_d*n[/tex]

 [tex]V_{50}=0.1*50[/tex]

 [tex]V_{50}=5cm^3[/tex]

Therefore the volume of the 50 drops

  [tex]V_{50}=5cm^3[/tex]

A. The ball has less mass after being pumped with air.

B.Cannot determine unless we measure the mass.

C.The ball has more mass after being pumped with air.

D. The ball has the same amount of mass after being pumped with air.

Justify your answer

Answers

answer: c. the ball has more mass after being pumped with air

explanation: the reason this is, is because air is made up of tiny particles that have mass. therefore, when more air is pumped into the basketball, the mass increases.

The ball has more mass being pumped with air. So, option (C) is correct answer.

What is mass?

In physics, mass is a quantitative measurement of inertia, a basic characteristic of all matter. It essentially refers to a body of matter's resistance to changing its speed or location in response to the application of a force. The change caused by an applied force is smaller the more mass a body has. The kilogram serves as the unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI).

As the amount of air is added to the basketball by pumping it up with air, the mass of air is also added with the basketball. Hence, the ball has more mass now.

Answers

Answer:

Ver explicación

Explanation:

Según los principios de Arquímedes, el empuje hacia arriba de un objeto sumergido en un fluido es igual al peso del fluido desplazado.

Por eso

Empuje hacia arriba = volumen del objeto * densidad del fluido * aceleración debida a la gravedad

Empuje hacia arriba = 2 * 10 ^ -6 / 2 * 1 * 10 ^ 3 * 10

Empuje hacia arriba = 0.01 N

Desde;

Empuje hacia arriba = peso del fluido desplazado

peso del fluido desplazado = 0.01 N

Masa de fluido desplazado = 0.01 N / 10 = 1 * 10 ^ -3 Kg o 1 g

if the voltage across a 12 ohm resistor is 4.0 volts. the current through the resistor is?

Answers

Answer:

Current = 0.33 Amperes

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Resistance = 12 ohm

Voltage = 4 v

To find the current;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

Voltage = current * resistance

Substituting into the formula, we have;

4 = current * 12

Current = 4/12

Current = 0.33 Amperes

A satellite is acted upon by a 10n force upwards and 20n force downwards. What is the net force acting on the satellite and what direction will it move in

Answers

Answer:

Net force = 10 N in downward direction

Explanation:

Given that,

Upward force = 10 N

Downward force = 20 N

Let downward is negative and upward is positive.

Net force = 10+(-20)

= -10 N

So, the net force is 20 N and it is acting in downward direction.
