In order to calculate the thermal energy, first let's calculate the power, using the formula:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

For a voltage V = 9 Volts and a resistance R = 50 ohms, we have:

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{9^2}{50} \\ P=\frac{81}{50}=1.62\text{ W} \end{gathered}$

Now, multiplying the power by the time (in seconds), we can find the energy:

$\begin{gathered} E=P\cdot t \\ E=1.62\cdot7.5\cdot60 \\ E=729\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

In scientific notation, we have an energy of 7.3 * 10^2 J, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.

A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with

scoray [572]

Answer:

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height = ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

$-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2$

$- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2$

$-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2$

$-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )$

= $( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2$

= $-2.50625\times10^7 J$

$=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7$

$R+h=31.92\times10^{6}$

$h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6$

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$\mu =0.75$

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

$F_c=m.a_c$

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

$F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

$F_r=\mu N$

The normal force N is equal to the weight of the car, thus

$F_r=\mu .m.g$

Equating both forces

$\displaystyle \mu .m.g=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle \mu =\frac{v^2}{rg}$

Substituting the values

$\displaystyle \mu =\frac{19^2}{(49)(9.8)}$

$\boxed{\mu =0.75}$
