Answer:

The mechanical energy of this object is 10.8 Joules.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

$M.E=P.E+K.E$

$M.E=mgh+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the moving object

h = height at which an object is placed

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We have : m = 2 kg. v = 1 m/s , h = 1/2 m

$M.E=2 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times \frac{1}{2}m+\frac{1}{2}\times 2 kg \times (1 m/s)^2$

$M.E=9.8 J+1 J=10.8 J$

The mechanical energy of this object is 10.8 Joules.

2. When the pump removed the air in<br> the bell, the balloon<br> contracted<br> expanded

IRINA_888 [86]

When the pump removed the air in the bell, the balloon expanded.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In order to construct our own environment in the glass jar known as bell jar system, which can be used to explore and consider our larger environment on Earths, for an instance. Here a glass jar that hinges on an airtight rubber basis i.e seals appropriately. At the top of the jar, a bung is connected to it which passed via a metal tube. It has an adjacent flexible tube that goes to a hand vacuum pump and the best hand-powered pump was made with a wine preserver.

When the pump extracts the air from the bell jar, the pressure inside the balloon naturally decreases. The balloon usually has a air pressure around it, which restricts its size, but when this air is extracted and the pressure around it decreases the gas in the balloon will expand and the balloon seems to be inflating. When you release the air back into the bell jar, it will once again compress back to its actual size.

This question is incomplete

Complete Question

In the United States, a standard letter-sized piece of paper is 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches long. The international standard for a letter-sized piece of paper is different. The international standard is based on SI units: 21.0 cm wide by 29.7 cm long.

a. Convert 21.0 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

b. Convert 29.7 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

c. State the dimensions, in inches, of the international standard for a letter-sized piece of paper.

d. Which piece of paper is longer: a U.S. letter-sized piece of paper, or an international letter-sized piece of paper?

Answer:

a) 8.267721 inches ≈ 8.3 inches

b) 11.6929197 inches ≈ 11.7 inches

c) It's dimensions in inches for the international standard for letter - sized for paper = 8.3 wide inches by 11.7 inches long

d) The International standard letter - sized paper is longer.

Explanation:

a. Convert 21.0 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

1 cm = 0.393701inch

21 cm =

Cross Multiply

21 cm × 0.393701inch/ 1 cm

= 8.267721 inches

Approximately 8.3 inches

b. Convert 29.7 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

1 cm = 0.393701inch

29.7 cm =

Cross Multiply

29.7 × 0.393701 inch/ 1 cm

= 11.6929197 inches

Approximately 11.7 inches

c. State the dimensions, in inches, of the international standard for a letter-sized piece of paper.

The international standard for a letter-sized has dimensions 21.0 cm wide by 29.7 cm long.

Where

21.0cm = 8.267721 inches

≈ 8.3 inches

29.7cm = 11.6929197 inches

≈ 11.7 inches

Hence, it's dimensions in inches = 8.3 inches by 11.7 inches.

d. Which piece of paper is longer: a U.S. letter-sized piece of paper, or an international letter-sized piece of paper?

U.S letter - sized paper = 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches long

International standard letter- sized paper = 8.3 wide inches by 11.7 inches long.

Hence, the International standard letter - sized paper is longer.

The PV system is operating in a location where the annual average daily incident solar energy (the insolation) on the array equa

vlabodo [156]

The average amount of solar energy incident on the PV per day is 10000 kWh/day.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let the PV array has an area equal to 50 square meters. Hence:

Average amount of solar energy incident on the PV per day = 200 kWh/m²/day * 50 m² = 10000 kWh/day.

A particle with charge −− 5.90 nCnC is moving in a uniform magnetic field B⃗ =−(B→=−( 1.28 TT )k^k^. The magnetic force on the p

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q=-5.90nC

Magnetic field B= -1.28T k

And the magnetic force

F =−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j

Let the velocity be V(xi + yj + zk)

Then, the force is given as

Note i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

The force in a magnetic field is given as

F= q(v×B)

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j =

q(xi + yj + zk) × -1.28k

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.28x i×k - 1.28y j×k - 1.28z k×k)

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( 1.28xj - 1.28y i )

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.28y i + 1.28x j)

So comparing comparing coefficients

let compare x axis component

-( 3.70×10−7N )i=-1.28qy i

−3.70×10−7N = -1.28qy

y= -3.7×10^-7/-1.28q

y= -3.7×10^-7/-1.28×-5.90×10^-9)

y=-48.99m/s

y≈-49m/s

Let compare y-axisaxis

7.6×10−7N j = 1.28qx j

7.6×10−7N = 1.28qx

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.28q

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.28×-5.90×10^-9

x=-100.64m/s

a. Then, the velocity of the x component is x= -100.64m/s

b. Also, the velocity component of the y axis is y=-49m/s

c. We will compute

V•F

V=-100.64i -49j

F=−( 3.70×10−7 N )i+( 7.60×10−7 N )j

Note

i.j=j.i=0. Also i.i = j.j =1

V•F is

(-100.64i-49j)•−(3.70×10−7N)i+(7.60×10−7 N )j =

3.724×10^-5 - 3.724×10^-5=0

V•F=0

d. Angle between V and F

V•F=|V||F|Cosx

0=|V||F|Cosx

Cosx=0

x= arccos(0)

x=90°

Since the dot product is zero, from vectors , if the dot product of two vectors is zero, then the vectors are perpendicular to each other
