Before solving this, you must know the definition of these units of measurement. Watt is a measurement of power which is the amount of energy per unit time in seconds. Energy, on the other hand, is expressed through the SI unit Joules. Thus, power is the amount of energy in Joules per second.

From here, you can use the dimensional analysis technique. Also, you should know that 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, and 24 hours is equal to 86,400 seconds. Then,

100 = Energy/86,400
Energy = 8,640,000 Joules

A pulley with a radius of 3.0 cm and a rotational inertia of 4.5 x 10–3 kg∙m2 is suspended from the ceiling. A rope passes over
vekshin1

Answer:

22J

Explanation:

Given :

radius 'r'= 3cm

rotational inertia 'I'=4.5 x 10^{-3} kgm²

mass on one side of rope 'm_{1'= 2kg

mass on other side of rope'm_{2' =4kg

velocity'v' of mass m_{2' = 2m/s

Angular velocity of the pulley is given by

‎ω = v /r => 2/ 3x 10^{-2

‎ω = 66.67 rad/s

For the rotating body, we have

KE = \frac{1}{2} I ω²

KE_p = \frac{1}{2} (4.5 *10^{-3} )(66.67^{2} )

KE_p = 10J

Next is to calculate kinetic energy of the blocks :

KE_{b} = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2).v^2\\KE_b= \frac{1}{2} (2+4).2^2

KE_b=12J

Therefore, the total kinetic energy will be

KE = KE_p + KE_b =10 + 12

KE= 22J

What will be the average velocity of a body falling in free fall on Earth for 3 s?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

29.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 3s

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      v  = u + gt

v is the average velocity

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

So;

        v  = 0 + (9.8 x 3)  = 29.4m/s

Two point charges exert a 5.00 N force on each other. What will the force become if the distance between them is increased by a
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

force becomes one - ninth

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law in electrostatics, two charges can exert a force of attraction or repulsion on each other which is directly proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Here both the charges remains same but the distance is variable.

So, we can say that

F \alpha \frac{1}{d^{2}}    .... (1)

Where d be the distance between the tow charges

As the distance between two charges increases by factor of three, let the new force be F'.

F' \alpha \frac{1}{9d^{2}}   .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

\frac{F'}{F}=\frac{d^{2}}{9d^{2}}

F'=\frac{F}{9}

Thus, the force becomes one - ninth times the initial force.
