Convert 3 hours 21 minutes to decimal hours.

Physics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago

Total hours is 3.35 hours

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

convert 3 hours 21 minutes to decimal hours

We know:

1 hour = 60 minutes

and

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 minute = 1 / 60 hours

So,

21 minutes = \frac{21}{60} hours

                  = 0.35 hours

Total hours would be = 3 hours + 0.35 hours

                                    = 3.35 hours

Therefore, total hours is 3.35 hours

A flywheel of mass M is rotating about a vertical axis with angular velocity ω0. A second flywheel of mass M/5 is not rotating a
Contact [7]

Answer:

0.83 ω

Explanation:

mass of flywheel, m = M

initial angular velocity of the flywheel, ω = ωo

mass of another flywheel, m' = M/5

radius of both the flywheels = R

let the final angular velocity of the system is ω'

Moment of inertia of the first flywheel , I = 0.5 MR²

Moment of inertia of the second flywheel, I' = 0.5 x M/5 x R² = 0.1 MR²

use the conservation of angular momentum as no external torque is applied on the system.

I x ω = ( I + I') x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = (0.5 MR² + 0.1 MR²) x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = 0.6 MR² x ω'

ω' = 0.83 ω

Thus, the final angular velocity of the system of flywheels is 0.83 ω.

Photovoltaic cells: a) have become more economical to produce and use over the past 25 years. b) are the most efficient means of
Yanka [14]

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity. Option b is correct.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell is a voltage and current-producing device that consists of a single anode and cathode separated by an electrolyte.

One or more cells can make up a battery. One cell, for example, is one AA battery.

Light intensity on a solar cell is often measured in "suns," with one sun roughly equivalent to 1 kW/m².

Concentrated sunlight improves the ratio of current generated while the device is lighted vs when it is dark, hence enhancing output voltage and efficiency.

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity.

Hence, option b is correct.

To learn more about the cell refer to:

Observing neutrinos from the Sun is an important way to check the fusion rate, but it can be very tough to build a machine that
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The trouble that the most recent experiment, Borexino, have to overcome was that

neutrinos hardly interact with matter and so radioactive decay of ant material inside the detector could look exactly like a neutrino interaction too

A briefcase sits stationary in an elevator. The mass of the briefcase if 4.5 kg. The elevator then begins accelerating upwards a
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D. 48.985 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that:

\sum F = ma

which means that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration.

The equation of the forces for the briefcase in the elevator therefore is given by:

N-mg=ma

where

N is the normal reaction exerted on the briefcase

(mg) is the weight of the briefcase, with

m = 4.5 kg being its mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a = 1.10 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Here we chose upward as positive direction.

Solving for N, we find the normal force:

N=mg+ma=m(g+a)=(4.5)(9.81+1.10)=49.095 N

So the closest answer is

D. 48.985 N

A player strikes a hockey puck giving it a velocity of 30.252 m/s. The puck slides across the ice for 0.267 s after which time i
erica [24]

Answer:

The average drag force is  1.206 (-i)  N

Explanation:

You have to apply the equations of<em> Impulse</em>:

I=FmedΔt

Where I and Fmed (the average force) are vectors.

The Impulse can also be expressed as the change in the <em>quantity of motion</em> (vector P)

I=P2-P1

P=mV (m is the mass and v is the velocity)

You can calculate the quantity of motion at the beggining and at the end of the given time:

Replace the mass in kg, dividing the mass by 1000 to convert it from g to kg.

P1=(0.179kg)(30.252m/s) i=  5.414 i kg.m/s

P2=0.179kg)(28.452m/s) i = 5.092 i kg. m/s

Where i is the unit vector in the x-direction.

Therefore:

I= 5.092 i - 5.414 i = -0.322 i

The average drag force is:

Fmed= I/Δt = -0.322 i/ 0.267s = -1.206 i N
