Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient.  There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.

An astronaut drops a rock from the top of a crater on the moon. When the rock is halfway down to the bottom of the crater, its s
Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

A point charge q1=+5.00nC is at the fixed position x=0, y=0, z=0. You find that you must do 8.10×10−6J of work to bring a second
Maru [420]

The value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.

<h3>Electric potential</h3>

The work done in moving the charge from infinity to the given position is calculated as follows;

W = Eq₂

E = W/q₂

<h3>Magnitude of second charge</h3>

The magnitude of the second charge is determined by applying Coulomb's law.

E = \frac{kq_2}{r^2} \\\\\frac{kq_2}{r^2} = \frac{W}{q_2} \\\\kq_2^2 = Wr^2\\\\q_2^2 = \frac{Wr^2}{k} \\\\q_2 = \sqrt{\frac{Wr^2}{k} } \\\\q_2 =  \sqrt{\frac{(8.1 \times 10^{-6}) \times (0.04)^2}{9\times 10^9} } \\\\q_2 = 1.2 \times 10^{-9} \ C\\\\q_2 = 1.2 \ nC

Thus, the  value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.

) A coin is tossed 13 times. a) How many different outcomes are possible? 2^8 b) How many different outcomes have exactly 4 head
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) A coin has two sides, therefore the total outcome possible when a coin is tossed is 2 i.e Head (H) and Tail (T)

outcome of two coins will be 4 i.e 2^2

Outcome of three coins will be 8 i.e 2^3 and so on. Since its following a trend, the outcome when 'n' coins is tossed will be 2^n.

Using the general formula, the possible outcome when a coin is tossed 13 times will be "2^13"
