If you live near a sea or ocean, You Would be getting power. <span>Because the waves are from large bodies of water (sea, ocean ...)</span>

Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />

A horizontal 2.00\ m2.00 m long, 5.00\ kg5.00 kg uniform beam that lies along the east-west direction is acted on by two forces.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 240\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Length of beam l=2\ m

mass of beam m=5\ kg

Two forces of equal intensity acted in the opposite direction, therefore, they create a torque of magnitude

\tau =F\times l=200\times 2=400\ N.m

Also, the beam starts rotating about its center

So, the moment of inertia of the beam is

I=\dfrac{ml^2}{12}=\dfrac{5\times 2^2}{12}\\\\I=\dfrac{5}{3}\ kg.m^2

Torque is the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration

\Rightarrow \tau=I\alpha\\\\\Rightarrow 400=\dfrac{5}{3}\times \alpha\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =240\ rad/s^2

You and a friend work in buildings five equal-length blocks apart, and you plan to meet for lunch. Your friend strolls leisurely
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Your friend is 2.143 blocks from the restaurant.

You are 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.

Explanation:

Let t be the time both you and your friend take to walk to the restaurant.

The distance (m) from your building to the restaurant is your walking time t times your speed v1

s_1 = v_1t = 1.6t

Similarly the distance (m) from your friend building to the restaurant:

s_2 = v_2t = 1.2t

Let b be the length (in m) of a block, the total distance of 5 blocks is 5b

s_1 + s_2 = 5b

1.6t + 1.2t = 5b

2.8t = 5b

t = 5b/2.8 = 25b/14

s_2 = 1.2t = 1.2(25b/14) = 2.143b

So your friend are 2.143b meters from the restaurant, since each block is b meters long, 2.143b meters would equals to 2.143b/b = 2.143 blocks. And you are 5 - 2.143 = 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.

A lamp in a child's Halloween costume flashes based on an RC discharge of a capacitor through its resistance. The effective dura
pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 0.199 J

B. 0.0663 C

C = 0.0221 F

D. 12.68 ohms

Explanation:

From the question:

time duration, t = 0.28 seconds

Average power, P = 0.71 W

Average voltage, V = 3 V

A) Energy is given as:

E = P * t

=> E = 0.71 * 0.28 = 0.199 J

B) Electrical energy is also given as:

E = qV

where q = charge

=> q = E / V

∴ q = 0.199 / 3 = 0.0663 C

C) Capacitance is given as charge over voltage:

C = q / V

=> C = 0.0663 / 3 = 0.0221 F

D) Electrical power, P, can also be given as:

P = V^2 / R

where R = resistance

=> R = V^2 / P

R = 3^2 / 0.71 = 9 / 0.71 = 12.68 ohms
