How is energy measured?​

Physics
1 answer:
stepladder [879]3 years ago
5 0

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

What is the definition of visible white light wave (RoyGBive)
uranmaximum [27]

There's no such thing as a wave of white light.  Every light wave with
a certain wavelength has some color.  White light is a mixture of all
the different wavelengths with all of the different visible colors. 
They're ALL there in white light.  When they all enter your eye at
the same time, your brain gets the message of brightness with
no particular color, which we call "white light".

a hunter 412.5m from a cliff moves a distance x towards the cliff and fires a gun. he hears the echo from the cliff after 2.2sec
Inessa [10]

Answer: 49.5 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound s is given by a relation between the distance d and the time t:

s=\frac{d}{t} (1)

Where:

s=330 m/s is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)

d=412.5 m-x since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance x towards the cliff

t=\frac{2.2 s}{2}=1.1 s Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff

Having this information clarified, let's isolate d and then find x:

d=st (2)

412.5 m-x=(330 m/s)(1.1 s) (3)

Finding x:

x=49.5 m This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.

“I know what the atomic number of this atom is, but I don’t know what the number of electrons is,” a friend says. How would you
liq [111]

Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

A) 1.2-kg ball is hanging from the end of a rope. The rope hangs at an angle 20° from the vertical when a 19 m/s horizontal wind
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part a)

F_v = 4.28 N

Part B)

L = 1.02 m

Part C)

v = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that ball is hanging from the top and its angle with the vertical is 20 degree

so we will have

Tcos\theta = mg

T sin\theta = F_v

\frac{F_v}{mg} = tan\theta

F_v = mg tan\theta

F_v = 1.2\times 9.81 (tan20)

F_v = 4.28 N

Part B)

Here we can use energy theorem to find the distance that it will move

-\mu mg cos\theta L + mg sin\theta L = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2

(-(0.37)m(9.81) cos15 + m(9.81) sin15)L = - \frac{1}{2}m(1.4)^2

(-3.5 + 2.54)L = - 0.98

L = 1.02 m

Part C)

At terminal speed condition we know that

F_v = mg

bv^2 = mg

2.5 v^2 = 3.9

v = 1.25 m/s
