How is energy measured?​

Physics
1 answer:
stepladder [879]2 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.

Imagine a box sitting on a shelf. What forces are acting on the box?
romanna [79]

In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.

When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.  

Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.

f your risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4 and you believe that the entire 1926–2015 period is representative of future expected
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here ,the table of data is missing which is as attached herewith.

From the maximized equation of the utility function it is evident that

Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}

For the equity, here as

  • Weight is percentage of the equity which is to be calculated
  • {E_M-r_f} is the Risk premium whose value as seen from the attached data for the period 1926-2015 is 8.30%
  • A is the risk aversion factor which is given as 4.
  • \sigma_M is the standard deviation of the portfolio which from the data for the period 1926-2015 is 20.59

By substituting values.

Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}\\Weight=\frac{8.30\%}{4(20.59\%)^2}\\Weight=0.4894 =48.94\%

So the weight of equity is 48.94%.

Now the weight of T bills is given as

Weight_{T-Bills}=1-Weight_{equity}\\Weight_{T-Bills}=1-0.4894\\Weight_{T-Bills}=0.5105=51.05\%\\

So  the weight of T-bills is 51.05%.

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.

Anna Litical analyzes the force between a planet and its moon, varying the mass of
Travka [436]

Answer:

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest

Explanation:

Given:

<em>Trial 1</em>

M₁ = 6·10²² kg

d₁ = 3 500 km = 3.5·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  2</em>

M₂ = 6·10²² kg

d₂ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  3</em>

M₃ = 3·10²² kg

d₃ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

___________

F - ?

Gravitational force:

F₁ = G·m·M₁ / d₁² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (3.5·10⁶)² = 0.37·m  (N)

F₂ = G·m·M₂ / d₂² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.08·m  (N)

F₃ = G·m·M₃ / d₃² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·3·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.04·m  (N)

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest
