Explain how a battery in a circuit is similar to a water pump.

Physics

IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
5 0
<span>A battery creates a potential difference, or voltage, which is really just storing electrical potential energy just as a pump would by moving water up against gravity, thereby storing gravitational potential energy. To complete the analogy, as current flows through the circuit, this potential energy is released and can be used by the components in the circuit. This is the same as water falling back down and turning some wheel or turbine and converting its gravitational potential energy into mechanical energy.</span>

A 5-kg can of paint is sitting on top of a 2-meter high step ladder. How much work did you do to move the can of paint to the to
Xelga [282]

98J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of paint can = 5kg

Height of ladder = 2m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

Work done in moving the paint is the force applied under gravity to move it through the give height.

Potential energy is the energy due the position of a body at rest.

For this body:

The work done in moving the paint =  Potential energy at the top of ladder = m x  g x h

m is the mass of the pain can

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

Input the variables;

 Work done = 5 x 9.8 x 2 = 98J

Potential energy  = 98J

Estimate the number of photons emitted per second from 1.0 cm2 of a person's skin if a typical emitted photon has a wavelength o
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

2.63 x 10^18

Explanation:

A = 1 cm^2 = 1 x 10^-4 m^2

λ = 10,000 nm = 10,000 x 10^-9 m = 10^-5 m

T = 37 degree C = 37 + 273 = 310 k

Energy of each photon = h c / λ

where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light

Energy of each photon = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / 10^-5 = 1.989 x 10^-20 J

Energy radiated per unit time = σ A T^4

Where, σ is Stefan's constant

Energy radiated per unit time = 5.67 x 10^-8 x 10^-4 x 310^4 = 0.05236 J

Number of photons per second = Energy radiated per unit time / Energy of  

                                                                                               each photon

Number of photons per second = 0.05236 / (1.989 x 10^-20) = 2.63 x 10^18

A rock at rest has weight 138 n. what is the weight of the rock when it is accelerating downward at 3.5 m/s2?
tamaranim1 [39]
<span>The weight of the rock is 138n when accelerating downward at 3.5m/ s2.Weight is a measurement of the force of gravity on an objects mass. Therefore as long as the force of gravity is the same and the mass of the rock is the same the weight should also be the same.</span>
