A 2.1W iPod is used for 30 minutes. How much energy does it use? (3
2 answers:
Answer:
Energy used, E = 3780 Joules
Explanation:
It is given that,
Power, P = 2.1 W
Time, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds
We need to find the energy used by the iPod. The product of power and time is called energy used i.e.
E = P × t
E = 3780 Joules.
So, the energy used by the iPod is 3780 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together. This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for. We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:
The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Here the normal force is just its weight, mg
Now the total force required is:
0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N
The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Here the normal force is just its weight, mg
Now the total force required is:
0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N
(a) -2451 N
We can start by calculating the acceleration of the car. We have:
is the initial velocity
v = 0 is the final velocity of the car
d = 125 m is the stopping distance
So we can use the following equation
To find the acceleration of the car, a:
Now we can use Newton's second Law:
F = ma
where m = 1100 kg to find the force exerted on the car in order to stop it; we find:
and the negative sign means the force is in the opposite direction to the motion of the car.
(b)
We can use again the equation
To find the acceleration of the car. This time we have
is the initial velocity
v = 0 is the final velocity of the car
d = 2.0 m is the stopping distance
Substituting and solving for a,
So now we can find the force exerted on the car by using again Newton's second law:
As we can see, the force is much stronger than the force exerted in part a).
