Answer:

Due to friction, 100 joules were lost in the form of heat energy

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that

<em>"Energy can neither be created or nor destroyed but rather it changes from one form to another"</em>

As the little girl was sliding down the playground slide, her potential energy was decreasing and at the same time her kinetic energy was accumulated. As we know there is friction in the slide and because of this not all of the of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Some of the energy will be lost due to friction taking the form of heat. Therefore, the 100 joules of energy was lost in the form of heat due to friction of the slide.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because The 100 J of potential energy that doesn't go into increasing her kinetic energy goes into thermal energy—heating her bottom and the slide.

When operated on a household 110.0 V line, typical hair dryers draw about 1650 W of power. The current can be modeled as a long,
Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of household line, V = 110 V

Power of the hairdryer, P = 1650 W

During use, the current is about 1.95 cm from the user's hand.

(a) Power is given by :

P=V\times I\\\\I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1650\ W}{110\ V}\\\\I=15\ A

(b) Again the power is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

R is resistance of the dryer

R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{1650}\\\\R=7.34\ \Omega

(c) The magnetic field produced by the dryer at the user's hand is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}\\\\B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 15}{2\pi \times 1.95\times 10^{-2}}\\\\B=1.53\times 10^{-4}\ T

Hence, this is the required solution.

Use the impulse-momentum theorem to find how long a stone falling straight down takes to increase its speed from 3.7 m/s to 9.90
11111nata11111 [884]
<h2>Time taken is 0.632 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

Impulse momentum theorem is change in momentum is impulse.

Change in momentum = Impulse

Final momentum - Initial momentum = Impulse

Mass x Final velocity - Mass x Initial Velocity = Force x Time

Mass x Final velocity - Mass x Initial Velocity =Mass x Acceleration x Time

Final velocity - Initial Velocity = Acceleration x Time

Final velocity = 9.9 m/s

Initial Velocity = 3.7 m/s

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

9.9 - 3.7 = 9.81 x Time

Time = 0.632 seconds

Time taken is 0.632 seconds

A girl weighing 50 kgf wears sandals of pencil heel of area of cross section 1 cm^2, stands on the floor.An elephant weighing 20
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\boxed{{\boxed{\blue{ 12.5}}}}

Explanation:

Given, for girl : Weight or force;

\rm \: F_1 = 50 \: kgf

Area of both heels;

\rm \: A_1 =  \; 2 ×1 \;  cm^2 = 2  \: cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_1  =  \cfrac{F_1}{ A_1 }  =  \dfrac{50 \: kgf}{2 \: cm {}^{2} }  = 25 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 1}

For elephant, Weight = Force \rm F_2 = 2000 kg•f

Area of 4 feet;

\rm \: A_2  = \; 4 \times 250 \;  cm^2 = 1000 \:  cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_2 = {F_2}/{A_2} \;  = \cfrac{2 \cancel{0 00 }\:  kgf}{1 \cancel{000} \: cm^2} =  2 \: kgf \: { \:cm}^{- 1}

Now;

\rm  = \dfrac{Pressure \:  Exerted  \: by  \: the \:  Girl}{Pressure  \: exerted  \: by \:  the  \: elephant}

=  \rm \: P_1/P_2

\implies    \rm\cfrac{25 \: kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2} }{2 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2} } =  \rm\cfrac{25 \:  \cancel{kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2}} }{2 \: \cancel{ kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2}} } = \boxed{12.5}

Thus, the girl's pointed heel sandals exert 12.5 times more pressure P than the pressure P exerted by the elephant.

I aspire this helps!

How is the electrostatic force affected when the magnitude of a charge is doubled?
BaLLatris [955]
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by:
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We can see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charges. This means that when one of the charges is doubled, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will double as well, so the correct answer is
A) <span>The magnitude of the electrostatic force doubles</span>
