If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time.  You will also hear it described as work per unit time.  The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time).  This is expressed as a fraction as J/s.  If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).

A baseball m=.34kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length l=.52m. the string can only support a tension of tmax=9.9n
larisa86 [58]
<span>4.5 m/s This is an exercise in centripetal force. The formula is F = mv^2/r where m = mass v = velocity r = radius Now to add a little extra twist to the fun, we're swinging in a vertical plane so gravity comes into effect. At the bottom of the swing, the force experienced is the F above plus the acceleration due to gravity, and at the top of the swing, the force experienced is the F above minus the acceleration due to gravity. I will assume you're capable of changing the velocity of the ball quickly so you don't break the string at the bottom of the loop. Let's determine the force we get from gravity. 0.34 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.332 kg m/s^2 = 3.332 N Since we're getting some help from gravity, the force that will break the string is 9.9 N + 3.332 N = 13.232 N Plug known values into formula. F = mv^2/r 13.232 kg m/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 / 0.52 m 6.88064 kg m^2/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 20.23717647 m^2/s^2 = V^2 4.498574938 m/s = V Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 4.5 m/s The actual obtainable velocity is likely to be much lower. You may handle 13.232 N at the top of the swing where gravity is helping to keep you from breaking the string, but at the bottom of the swing, you can only handle 6.568 N where gravity is working against you, making the string easier to break.</span>

A mechanic turns a wrench using a force of 27.00 N at a distance of 16.00 cm from the rotation axis. The force is perpendicular
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:4.32Nm

Explanation:

The magnitude of the torque will be the product of the force and its perpendicular distance from the force.

Force = 27N

Perpendicular distance = 16cm = 0.16m

Torque = 27×0.16

Torque = 4.32Nm

The temperature inside a vehicle can rise ____ degrees higher than the outside temperature.
Elis [28]

Answer:

Generally, 40 to 50 degrees

Explanation:

About the heat-up over time, whether the windows of a vehicle are locked or partially open makes very little difference. In both situations, in an internal temperature of a vehicle, even at an outside temperature of only 72 ° F, it may exceed approximately 40 ° F within one hour. This happens mainly due to the greenhouse effect that is the heat inside the car is trapped and not allowed to escape. Thus, raising the temperature of the vehicle.
