Answer:

A) bringing a positively charged balloon near it.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because is the only option in which the object has a charge (a positive one in this case). That means when the scientist brings a positively charged balloon near the hollow metal globe on the top of the Van de Graaff generator a repulsion is seen it because the globe is positively charged too.

If a power lifter raises a 1000N weight a distance of 2 meters in 0.5 seconds, what is his power out put?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

P = 4000 [W]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first determine the work, which is defined as the product of force by distance.

W = F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units in Joules)

F = force = 1000[N]

d = distance = 2 [m]

W = 1000*2

W = 2000 [J]

And power is defined as the relationship between work and the time in which the work is done.

P = W/t

P = power [W] (units of watts)

t = time = 0.5 [s]

P = 2000/0.5

P = 4000 [W]

A wheel is being turned to open a valve on a compressor. The resistance that is applied to the axle of the valve is 235 lb. The
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

3.8 in

Explanation:

A wheel and axle machine is a machine in which the wheel rotates around the rod (axle). They rotate together thereby transferring force among each other.

The formula for a wheel and axle is:

Fr * Rr = Fe * Re

Where Fr is the resistance force, Rr is the radius of the resistance force, Fe is the effort force and Re is the radius of the resistance force.

Given that: Fr = 235 lb, Fe = 45 lb, Re = 20 in / 2 = 10 in. Hence:

235 * Rr = 45 * 10

Rr = 45 * 10 / 235

Rr= 1.9 in

Diameter of axle = 2 * 1.9 = 3.8 in

A body of mass 0.5kg is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with an initial velocity of 80.0m/s
Paul [167]

Answer:

1)        3.92 J

2) 1596.08 J

3)         16.3 s ??

Explanation:

Initial Potential energy PE = mgh = 0.5(9.8)(0) = 0 J

Initial Kinetic energy KE = ½mv² = ½(0.5)80² = 1600 J

PE = 0.5(9.8)(0.80) = 3.92 J

KE = 1600 - 3.92 = 1596.08 J

Question 3 is not clear

to the point 80 cm above the ground the flight time is only 0.01 s

The time when the mass strikes ground again will be twice the time gravity takes to reduce the initial velocity to zero

t = 2(80.0 / 9.8) = 16.3 s

would not 80 m above the ground be a much more interesting point to consider?

PE = 0.5(9.8)(80) = 392 J

KE = 1600 - 392 = 1208 J

v₈₀ = √(2(1280) /0.5) = 69.5 m/s

t₈₀  = h/v(avg) = 80 / (½(80 + 69.5)) = 1.07 s
