Answer:

(a) 43.2 kC

(b) 0.012V kWh

(c) 0.108V cents

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • i = current flow = 3 A
  • t = time interval for which the current flow = 4\ h = 4\times 3600\ s = 14400\ s
  • V = terminal voltage of the battery
  • R = rate of energy = 9 cents/kWh

<u>Assume:</u>

  • Q = charge transported as a result of charging
  • E = energy expended
  • C = cost of charging

Part (a):

We know that the charge flow rate is the electric current flow through a wire.

\therefore i = \dfrac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow Q =it\\\Rightarrow Q = 3\times 14400\\\Rightarrow Q = 43200\ C\\\Rightarrow Q = 43.200\ kC\\

Hence, 43.2 kC of charge is transported as a result of charging.

Part (b):

We know the electrical energy dissipated due to current flow across a voltage drop for a time interval is given by:

E = Vit\\\Rightarrow E = V\times 3\times 4\\\Rightarrow E = 12V\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E = 0.012V\ kWh\\

Hence, 0.012V kWh is expended in charging the battery.

Part (c):

We know that the energy cost is equal to the product of energy expended and the rate of energy.

\therefore \textrm{Cost}=\textrm{Energy}\times \textrm{Rate}\\\Rightarrow C = ER\\\Rightarrow C = 0.012V\times 9\\\Rightarrow C =0.108V\ cents

Hence, 0.108V cents is the charging cost of the battery.

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac
tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.

A rifle of mass M is initially at rest, but is free to recoil. It fires a bullet of mass m with a velocity +v relative to the gr
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of rifle = M

Initial velocity ,u= 0

Mass of bullet = m

velocity of bullet =  v

Lets take final speed of the rifle is V

There is no any external force ,that is why linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final  linear momentum

 M x 0 + m x 0 = M x V + m v

0 =  M x V + m v

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Negative sign indicates that ,the recoil velocity will be opposite to the direction of bullet velocity.

At a given instant, the force on an electron is in the +z-direction (out of the page), which the electron is moving in the +x-di
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The direction of the B-field is in the +y-direction.

Explanation:

The corresponding formula is

F_B = qv\times B

This means, we should use right-hand rule.

Our index finger is pointed towards +x-direction (direction of velocity),

our middle finger should point towards the direction of the B-field,

and our thumb should point towards the +z-direction (direction of the force).

Since our middle finger in this situation points towards +y-direction, the B-field should be in +y-direction.

\^{x} \times \^{y} = \^{z}

Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?
PolarNik [594]

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.
