Answer:

B) meter

Explanation:

This is because the meter is the SI unit of measurement of length. it is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/(3 x 10⁸) sec in vacuum. it is neither a small unit of measurement of length nor a large unit of measurement of length. hence it is the most suitable unit for measuring the length of the carpet.

Please check my answers: The voltage across a 10-ohm resistor carrying 3 amps must be? I got 30 volts-v=?, I=3 amps, R= 16 ohm.

Igoryamba

1) 30 volts is correct
2) Rt = (4x6)/(4+6)=2.4 Ω
3) P = I^2 x R = 36 W

we use AC because it's easy to transmit via 3 phase on cables and easy to step up and down

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the

nydimaria [60]

Answer: $F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

$F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}$

where $L\sqrt{2}=$ Distance between the two charges

$F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

$F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}$

The magnitude of force by both the charge is same but at an angle of $90^{\circ}$

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

$F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

$F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Having difficulty finding the PE and KE for these values no mass is given. Does anyone know to go solve these?

Alexandra [31]

11) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13) 50.0 m/s

14) 41.6 m/s

Explanation:

11)

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground. It is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height relative to the ground

Here in this problem, when the train is at the top, we have:

m = 8325 kg (mass of the train + riders)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

h = 127 m (height of the train at the top)

Substituting,

$PE=(8325)(9.8)(127)=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12)

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the train must be conserved (in absence of friction). So we can write:

$KE_t + PE_t = KE_b + PE_b$

where

$KE_t$ is the kinetic energy at the top

$PE_t$ is the potential energy at the top

$KE_b$ is the kinetic energy at the bottom

$PE_b$ is the potential energy at the bottom

The kinetic energy is the energy due to motion; since the train is at rest at the top, we have

$KE_t=0$

Also, at the bottom the height is zero, so the potential energy is zero

$PE_b=0$

Therefore, we find:

$KE_b=PE_t=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

From question 12), we know that the kinetic energy of the train at the bottom is

$KE=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

We also know that the mass is

m = 8325 kg

Therefore, we can calculate the speed of the train at the bottom:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.04\cdot 10^7)}{8325}}=50.0 m/s$

14)

At the top of the second hill, the total mechanical energy of the train is still conserved.

Therefore, we can write again:

$KE_1 + PE_1 = KE_2 + PE_2$

where

$KE_1$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 1st hill

$PE_1$ is the potential energy at the top of the 1st hill

$KE_2$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 2nd hill

$PE_2$ is the potential energy at the top of the 2nd hill

From the previous questions, we know that

$KE_1=0$

and

$PE_1=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

The height of the second hill is

h = 39 m

So we can also find the potential energy at the second hill:

$PE_2=mgh=(8325)(9.8)(39)=3.2\cdot 10^6 J$

So, the kinetic energy at the second hill is

$KE_2=PE_1-PE_2=1.04\cdot 10^7 - 3.2\cdot 10^6 =7.2\cdot 10^6 J$

And so, the speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE_2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.2\cdot 10^6)}{8325}}=41.6 m/s$
