The answer to this question is that work is defined as the change in energy. It measures the change in energy. W = ΔE.

Energy and work are measured in joules, more commonly seen as a “J”

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

When the starter motor on a car is engaged, there is a 290 A current in the wires between the battery and the motor. Suppose the

Tema [17]

Answer:

$33.6\times10^{-4}}\text{ m}$ = 3.36 mm

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

$V = IR$ (Voltage = Current * Resistance)

$R = \dfrac{V}{I}$

The geometric definition of resistance is

$R = \rho\dfrac{l}{A}$

where $\rho$ is the resistivity of the material, $l$ and $A$ are the length and cross-sectional area, respectively.

$A = \rho\dfrac{l}{R}$

$A = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}$

Since the wire is assumed to have a circular cross-section, its area is given by

$A = \pi\dfrac{d^2}{4}$ where $d$ is the diameter.

$\pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}$

$d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{\pi\times V}}$

Resistivity of copper = $1.68\times10^{-8}$ . With these and other given values,

$d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\times1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.5\times290}{3.14\times 0.55}}$

$d = \sqrt{1128.43\times10^{-8}}$

$d = 33.6\times10^{-4} \text{ m}$

What is the difference between real and apparent weightlessness?

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

A driver in a 2290-kg car car traveling at 42.7 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of friction betw

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

126.56 m

Explanation:

Applying,

-F = ma............. Equation 1

Where F = frictional force, m = mass of the car, a = acceleration.

Note: Frictional force is negative because it act in opposite direction to motion

But,

F = mgμ.......... Equation 2

Where g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction

Substitute equation 2 in equation 1

-mgμ = ma

a = -gμ.............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: μ = 0.735

Constant: 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in equation 3

a = -9.8×0.735

a = -7.203 m/s²

Finally,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 4

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 42.7 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to a stop), a = -7.203 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 4

0² = 42.7²+2(-7.203)s

-1823.29 = -14.406s

s = -1823.29/-14.406

s = 126.56 m
