Pick the best description of energy efficiency?

The answer is B. Efficiency is equal to the ratio of energy you get out (output) to the energy you put in (input). Say for a basic example you got a converted output of 40W from 50W input, you'll have an efficiency of 80 percent only.

Two point charges exert a 5.00 N force on each other. What will the force become if the distance between them is increased by a

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

force becomes one - ninth

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law in electrostatics, two charges can exert a force of attraction or repulsion on each other which is directly proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Here both the charges remains same but the distance is variable.

So, we can say that

$F \alpha \frac{1}{d^{2}}$ .... (1)

Where d be the distance between the tow charges

As the distance between two charges increases by factor of three, let the new force be F'.

$F' \alpha \frac{1}{9d^{2}}$ .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

$\frac{F'}{F}=\frac{d^{2}}{9d^{2}}$

$F'=\frac{F}{9}$

Thus, the force becomes one - ninth times the initial force.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2 Problems Using Mechanical Energy II. The Great Sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer wh

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$v = 15.45 m/s$

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation we can say that here since friction is present in the barrel so we will have

Work done by friction force = Loss in mechanical energy

so we will have

$W_f = (U_i + K_i) - (U_f + K_f)$

here we know that

$W_f = F_f . d$

$W_f = 40 \times 4$

$W_f = 160 J$

Initial compression in the spring is given as

$F = kx$

$4400 = 1100 x$

$x = 4 m$

now from above equation

$W_f = (\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + 0) - (mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2)$

$160 = (\frac{1}{2}1100(4^2) + 0) - (60 \times 9.8\times 2.50 + \frac{1}{2}(60)v^2)$

$160 = 8800 - 1470 - 30 v^2$

$v = 15.45 m/s$

The near point of an eye is 110 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects 26.0 cm in fro

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The focal length of the lens is 34.047 cm

The power of the needed corrective lens is 2.937 diopter.

Explanation:

Distance of the object from the lens,u = 26 cm

Distance of the image from the lens ,v= -110 cm

(Image is forming on the other side of the lens)

Since ,lens of the human eye is converging lens,convex lens.

Using a lens formula:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{26 cm}+\frac{1}{-110 cm}$

f = 34.047 cm = 0.3404 m

Power of the lens = P

$P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.34047 m}=2.937 diopter$
