That depends on what you want to use them for.

As sources of light, they are somewhere around 15% - 20% efficient.

As heaters, they are somewhere around 80% - 85% efficient.

A 1500 kg car is approaching a hill that has a height of 12 m. As the car reaches the bottom of the hill it runs out of gas and
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

No, the car will not make it to the top of the hill.

Explanation:

Let ΔX be how long the slope of the hill is, Δx be how far the car will travel along the slope of the hill, Ф be the angle the slope of the hill makes with the horizontal(bottom of the hill), ki be the kinetic energy of the car at the bottom of the hill and vi be the velocity of the car at the bottom of the hill and kf be the kinetic energy of the car when it stop moving at vf.

Since Ф is the angle between the horizontal and the slope, the relationship between the angle and the slope and the height of the hill is given by

sinФ = 12/ΔX

Which gives you the slope as

ΔX = 12/sinФ

Therefore for the car to reach the top of the hill it will have to travel ΔX.

Ignoring friction the total work done is given by

W = ΔK

W = (kf - ki)

Since the car will come to a stop, kf = 0 J

W = -ki

m×g×sinФ×Δx = 1/2×m×vi^2

(9.8)×sinФ×Δx = 1/2×(10)^2

sinФΔx = 5.1

Δx = 5.1/sinФ

ΔX>>Δx Ф ∈ (0° , 90°)

(Note that the maximum angle Ф is 90° because the slope of a hill can never be greater ≥ 90° because that would then mean the car cannot travel uphill.)

Since the car can never travel the distance of the slope, it can never make it to the top of the hill.

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.3 m/s, directed at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
erica [24]

Answer:

y maximum   3.54 m, value X  2.35 m

Explanation:

We have a projectile launch problem, let's calculate the maximum height of the projectile, where the vertical speed must be zero

                     

        Vyf² = Vyo² - 2g (Y-Yo)

Where Yo is the initial height of the ramp 1.5 m

        0 = Vyo² -2g (Y-Yo)

        Y-Yo = Voy² / 2g

       Y = Yo + Voy² / 2g

Let's calculate the velocity components using trigonometry

       Voy = vo without T

       Vox = Vo cost

       Voy = 7.3 sin 60

       Vox = 7.3 cos 60

       Voy = 6.32 m / s

       Vox = 3.65 m / s

Let's calculate the maximum height

         Y = 1.5 +6.32²/2 9.8

          Y = 3.54 m

This is the maximum height from the ground

b) They ask us for the position of this point horizontally, we can calculate it looking for the time it took for the skateboarder to reach the highest point

                             

          Vfy = Voy - gt

          0 = Voy - gt

           t = Voy / g

           t = 6.32 / 9.8

           t = 0.645 s

     

Since there is no acceleration on the x-axis, we have a uniform movement, we can calculate the distance for this time

          X = Vox t

          X = 3.65 0.645

          X= 2.35 m

Paha777 [63]
<span>An object roating at one revokution per second has an angular velocity of 360 degrees per second or 2pi radians per second. This is found by taking the number of revolutions over a period of time and than dividing by the chosen period of time to get the velocity. There are 360 degrees or 2pi radians in one revolution.</span>
