A battery charger can produce 3A at 12 Volt and charges a battery fer 2 hr. Calculate work in KJ.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 259.2 KJ

Explanation:

The formula calculate work don in a circuit is given by :-

$W=QV$ , where Q is charge and V is the potential difference.

The formula to calculate charge in circuit :-

$Q=It$ , where I is current and t is time.

Given : Current : $I=3A$

Potential difference : $V=12\ V$

Time : $t=2\ hr=2(3600)\text{ seconds}=7200\text{ seconds}$

Now, $Q=3(7200)=21,600\ C$

Then, $W=(21600)(12)=259,200\text{ Joules}=259.2\text{ KJ}$

Hence, the work done = 259.2 KJ

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.

Describe each class of lever and explain to characteristics of each

Nataly [62]

-- Class I lever

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage can be anything, more or less than 1 .

Example: a see-saw

-- Class II lever

The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.

The Mechanical Advantage is always greater than 1 .

Example: a nut-cracker, a garlic press

-- Class III lever

The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage is always less than 1 .

I can't think of an example right now.

SP: Calculate the moment

ipn [44]

Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, $F=80\ N$

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, $d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m$

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

$M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}$

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.

A bathtub contains 65 gallons of water and the total weight of the tub and water is approximately 931.925 pounds. You pull the p

levacccp [35]

Answer:

$Q = 8,345 * v$

Explanation:

So, we are looking for an expression of the amount of water that has been drained from the tub. The expression is in terms of v that represent the number of gallons of water drained since the plug was pulled. Since we are interested in the pounds of water that has been drained from the tub we need to take into account that for every gallon of water drained, 8.345 pounds have left the tub. Therefore, the expression for the weight of water Q that has been drained from the tub in terms of v is simply :

$Q = 8,345 * v$

Where v is the amount of gallons that has been drained from the tub.

Have a nice day. let me know if I can help with anything else
