The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.

<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>

Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;

KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J

PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.40 m = 352.8 J

The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The current in the filament is 0.81 A

Explanation:

Given :

Diameter of wire $d_{1} = 0.12 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Diameter of filament $d_{2} = 1.5 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Current density $J = 4.6 \times 10^{5} \frac{A}{m^{2} }$

From the formula of current density,

$J = \frac{I}{A}$

Where $A =$ area = $\frac{\pi d^{2} }{4}$

Current in the filament is given by,

$I = JA$

Area of filament is given by $A = \pi \frac{(1.5 \times 10^{-3} )^{2} }{4}$

$A = 1.76 \times 10^{-6}$

Put value of A in above equation,

$I = 4.6 \times 10^{5} \times 1.76 \times 10^{-6}$

$I = 0.81$ A

Therefore, current in the filament is 0.81 A

Ann [662]

Answer:

The answer is 'D' none

Explanation:

In the figure shown we have

$2Tsin(\theta )=mg\\\\\therefore T=\frac{mg}{2sin(\theta )}$

From the figure we can see that

$cos(\theta )=\frac{\frac{3L}{8}}{\frac{L}{2}}\\\\\therefore \theta =cos^{-1}(\frac{3}{4})\\\\sin(\theta )=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$

Thus value of tension be will be

$T=\frac{2mg}{\sqrt{7}}$

A 13.0-V battery is connected in series with a switch, resistor and coil. If the circuit's time constant is 1.20 ´ 10-4 s and th

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

R = 5.20 Ω, L = 6.24 10⁻⁴ H

Explanation:

The current in an RL circuit is

I = $\frac{E}{R} \ (1- e^{- t/ \tau } )$

τ = L / R

In the problem they indicate the value of the voltage, the current and the time constant, for which the resistance must be found

The stable current is when enough time has passed (t »τ) after closing the circuit, therefore the exponential term is very small and we can neglect it.

I = E / R

R = E / I

let's calculate

R = 13.0 / 2.50

R = 5.20 Ω

now with this value we can find the inductance of the coil

τ = L / R

L = τ R

L = 1.20 10⁻⁴ 5.2

L = 6.24 10⁻⁴ H
