Answer:

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.

Given:

Growing length = 3.7 meter

Time = 14 days

To find:

Growth rate = ?

Formula used:

Growth rate = \frac{Growing  length}{ time}

Solution:

Growth rate = \frac{Growing  length}{ time}

Growing  length = 3.7 × 10^{6} micrometer

Time = 14 × 24 × 60 × 60

Growth rate = \frac{3700000}{1209600}

Growth rate = 3.05 micrometer per second

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.

How high will a 0.345 kg rock go if thrown straight up by someone who does 111 J of work on it? Neglect air resistance.
Eddi Din [679]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. Here we will understand that the potential energy accumulated on the object is equal to the work it has. Therefore the relationship that will allow us to calculate the height will be

W = PE

W = mgh

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

our values are,

m = 0.345 kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

W = 111J

Replacing,

W =mgh

111 = (0.345)(9.8)h

h = 32.83m

Then the height is 32.83m.

A 5.0 A current is set up in a circuit for 6.0 min by a rechargeable battery with a 6.0 V emf. By how much is the chemical energ
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The chemical energy of the battery was reduced in 10800J

Explanation:

The first thing to take into account is that the stored energy in a battery is in Watts per second or Joules (W\cdot s=J). It means that the battery provides a power for a certain time.

The idea is to know how much W\cdot s has been consumed by the circuit.

The first step is to know the power that is consumed by the circuit. It is P=V\cdot I. The problem says that the circuit consumes a current of 5.0A with a voltage of 6.0V. It means that the power consumed is:

P=V\cdot I=(6.0V)\cdot (5.0A)=30W

The previous value (30W) is the power that the circuit consumes.

Now, you must find the total amount of power that is consumed by the circuit in 6.0 minutes. You just have to multiply the power that the circuit consumed by the time it worked, it means, 6.0 minutes.

energy=P\cdot t=(30W)\cdot (6.0min)=180W\cdot min

You must convert the minutes unit to seconds. Remember that 1 minute has 60 seconds.

energy=P\cdot t=(30W)\cdot (6.0min) \cdot \frac{60s}{1min}=10800W\cdot s=10800J

Thus, the chemical energy of the battery was reduced in 10800J

An airplane is flying horizontally with a constant momentum during a time interval ?t. (a) Is there a net impulse acting on the
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Airplane is flying with horizontally with a constant momentum during time interval \Delta t

Impulse is given by change in momentum, so there is no net impulse on the Plane because momentum is constant

(b) As there is no change in momentum therefore impulse of thrust and air drag is balanced i.e. both are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction

Which actions most likely cause the domains in a ferromagnetic material to align? Check all that apply. heating the material rub
ryzh [129]

Answer:

i. rubbing the material against a magnet

ii. placing the material in a magnetic field of opposite polarity

iii. placing the material near a strong magnet

Explanation:

Ferromagnetic materials are majorly metals which can be easily attracted by a magnet. ferromagnetic materials are made up of domains, behaves as minute pieces of magnet. They can be rearranged to align when under the influence of an external magnetic field.

The alignment of the domains in a ferromagnetic material can be caused by either of the following: rubbing the material against a magnet, placing the material in a magnetic field of opposite polarity, placing the material near a strong magnet.
