When a car is coasting downhill, the kinetic and potential energies are increasing and decreasing respectively.

<h3>What are kinetic and potential energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

Potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mass).

According to this question, a car going downhill will begin to speed because there is lesser friction. This suggests that the kinetic energy increases while the potential energy decreases.

As a 15000 kg jet plane lands on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags a cable to slow it down. The cable is attached to a sp
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy,

The kinetic energy of the plane = Energy of store in the spring when the plane lands.

1/2mv²  = 1/2ke²

making v the subject of the equation.

v = √(ke²/m).................... Equation 1

Where  v = the plane landing speed, k = spring constant, e = extension. m = mass of the plane.

Given: m = 15000 kg, k = 60000 N/m, e = 30 m.

Substitute into equation 1

v = √(60000×30²/15000)

v = √(4×900)

v = √(3600)

v = 60 m/s.

Hence the plane's landing speed = 60 m/s

A magnetic field is entering into a coil of wire with radius of 2(mm) and 200 turns. The direction of magnetic field makes an an
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

b) <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

c) <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

Explanation:

The radius of the wire r = 2 mm = 0.002 m

the number of turns N = 200 turns

direction of the magnetic field ∅ = 25°

magnetic field strength B = 0.02 T

varying time = 2 sec

The cross sectional area of the wire = \pi r^{2}

==> A = 3.142 x 0.002^{2} = 1.257 x 10^-5 m^2

Field flux Φ = BA cos ∅ = 0.02 x 1.257 x 10^-5 x cos 25°

==> Φ = 2.278 x 10^-7 Wb

The induced EMF is given as

E = NdΦ/dt

where dΦ/dt = (2.278 x 10^-7)/2 = 1.139 x 10^-7

E = 200 x 1.139 x 10^-7 = <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) If the two ends are connected to a resistor of 20 Ω, the current through the resistor is given as

I = E/R

where R is the resistor

I = (2.278 x 10^-5)/20 = <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em> </em>c) power delivered to the resistor is given as

P = IE

P = (1.139 x 10^-6) x (2.278 x 10^-5) = <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

A shopper walks westward 2.8 meters in the first 5 minutes and then eastward 9.2 meters in the next 10 minutes. What is the shop
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward  = 2.8m

Time of travel  = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel  = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance  = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

 Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

  Total distance  = 2.8m + 9.2m  = 12m
