Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arr

Nitella [24]

Answer:

1. Part A: 648N
2. Part B: 324J
3. Part C: 1,296N

Explanation:

1. Part A:

The magnitude of the force is calculated using the Hook's law:

$|F|=k\Delta x$

You know $\Delta x=0.250m$ but you do not have $k$ .

You can calculate it using the equation for the work-energy for a spring.

The work done to compress the springs a distance $\Delta x$ is:

$Work=\Delta PE=(1/2)k(\Delta x)^2$

Where $\Delta PE$ is the change in the elastic potential energy of the "spring".

Here you have two springs, but you can work as if they were one spring.

You know the work (81.0J) and the length the "spring" was compressed (0.250m). Thus, just substitute and solve for k:

$81.0J=(1/2)k(0.250m)^2\\\\k=2,592N/m$

In reallity, the constant of each spring is half of that, but it is not relevant for the calculations and you are safe by assuming that it is just one spring with that constant.

Now calculate the magnitude of the force:

$|F|=k\Delta x=2,592N/m\times 0.250m=648N$

2. Part B. How much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.250 m farther?

The additional work will be the extra elastic potential energy that the springs earn.

You already know the elastic potential energy when Δx = 0.250m; now you must calculate the elastic potential energy when Δx = 0.250m + 0.250m = 0.500m.

$\Delta E=(1/2)2,592n/m\times(0.500m)^2=324J$

Therefore, you must do 324J of additional work to move the plattarform a distance 0.250 m farther.

3. Part C

What maximum force must you apply to move the platform to the position in Part B?

The maximum force is when the springs are compressed the maximum and that is 0.500m

Therefore, use Hook's law again, but now the compression length is Δx = 0.500m

$|F|=k\Delta x=2,592N/m\times 0.500m =1,296N$

An automobile tire having a temperature of −1.6 ◦C (a cold tire on a cold day) is filled to a gauge pressure of 22 lb/in2 . What

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

25.8 lb/in²

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law tells us that given an ideal gas of a certain mass has a constant volume, the pressure exerted on the sides of its container is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

$\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} } \\\\\frac{22}{-1.6+273.15} =\frac{P_{2} }{45+273.15} \\\\P_{2} = \frac{22*318.15}{271.55} = 25.8lb/in^{2}$
