Answer:

Velocity = 20 mph

Explanation:

Distance = 10 miles

Time = 30 min = 0.5 hour

Velocity = distance/time

= 10miles/0.5 hour

= 20 mph

<span>Matter of all types have gravity, which causes it to attract to each other. The most efficient way for all this matter to congregate is the sphere. As they consolidate, they form the shape. As they compress, temperatures in the center of the mass start to go up and if it hits the proper point, it can ignite and become a star.</span>

Which part of a wind-powered system ultimately produces the electricity? A. nacelle B. blade C. turbine D. generator

djverab [1.8K]

<span>The correct answer is: (D) Generator

Explanation:
In wind-powered systems, the wind energy turns the blades around the rotor of a wind turbine. That rotor is connected to a generator that generates electricity. In other words, the kinectic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy by using the generator in the wind-powered systems.</span>

A 6.5 kg rock thrown down from a 120m high cliff with initial velocity 18 m/s down. Calculate

Olegator [25]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Which tells us that the energy of a body will always be the same regardless of where it is located. For this case we have two points, point A and point B. Point A is located at the top at 120 [m] and point B is in the middle of the cliff at 60 [m].

$E_{A}=E_{B}$

The important thing about this problem is to identify the types of energy at each point. Let's take the reference level of potential energy at a height of zero meters. That is, at this point the potential energy is zero.

So at point A we have potential energy and since a velocity of 18 [m/s] is printed, we additionally have kinetic energy.

$E_{A}=E_{pot}+E_{kin}\\E_{A}=m*g*h+\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}$

At Point B the rock is still moving downward, therefore we have kinetic energy and since it is 60 [m] with respect to the reference level we have potential energy.

$E_{B}=m*g*h+\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}$

Therefore we will have the following equation:

$(6.5*9.81*120)+(0.5*6.5*18^{2} )=(6.5*9.81*60)+(0.5*6.5*v_{B}^{2} )\\3.25*v_{B}^{2} =4878.9\\v_{B}=\sqrt{1501.2}\\v_{B}=38.75[m/s]$

The kinetic energy can be easily calculated by means of the kinetic energy equation.

$KE_{B}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v_{B}^{2}\\KE_{B}=0.5*6.5*(38.75)^{2}\\KE_{B}=4878.9[J]$

In order to calculate the velocity at the bottom of the cliff where the reference level of potential energy (potential energy equal to zero) is located, we must pose the same equation, with the exception that at the new point there is only kinetic energy.

$E_{A}=E_{C}\\6.5*9.81*120+(0.5*9.81*18^{2} )=0.5*6.5*v_{C}^{2} \\v_{c}^{2} =\sqrt{2843.39}\\v_{c}=53.32[m/s]$

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

Key difference of the celsius scale and kevin scale

mixer [17]

Their 'degrees' are the same size. The difference between the Celsius
and Kelvin scales is their zero-point. Zero Kelvin is the absolute zero of
nature and Physics. Zero Celsius is the melting/freezing point of water,
273.15 higher than absolute zero.
