A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved

Physics
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
5 0

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

Given a wind turbine with blades that sweep out a 10 m diameter circle, and a wind speed of 2 m/s, approximately what is the max
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

223.55 W

Explanation:

v = Velocity of wind = 10 m/s

r = Radius of circle = 5 m

S = Swept area

\rho = Density of air = 1.2 kg/m³

C_p = Power coefficient = 0.593

P=C_p\frac {1}{2}}\rho Sv^{3}\\\Rightarrow P=0.593\times \frac{1}{2}1.2 \pi \times 5^2\times 2^{3}\\\Rightarrow P=223.55\ W

The maximum possible power that can be produced by the turbine is 223.55 W

Why is it important to use the correct number of significant digits when
Pani-rosa [81]

A. To show how precise your measurements were

Explanation:

It is important to use the correct number of significant digits when reporting the results of an experiment because they show how precise measurement are.

  • Precision is the ability to reproduce a particular set of results in an experiment.
  • Every instrument have their precision level.
  • The precision levels shows to what extent the values obtained can be trusted..
  • Significant figures are not only important in recording measurements, they are also needed for calculations in science.

How many electrons will there be in 5 coulombs of charge?
zysi [14]
There's no physics or electronics to this question.
It's just arithmetic.

The last part of the question TELLS you how many 'coulombs per electron'.

If you just flip that fraction (divide ' 1 ' by it, take its reciprocal), then
you'll have 'electrons per coulomb',  and 5 of those will answer the question.

I got 31,250,000,000,000,000,000 .  I could be wrong.  You should check it.
