A portable television using a 12 volt, 3 Ah rechargeable battery can operate for a period of about 6 hours. What is the average

Answer:

0.5 A

Explanation:

Current: This is defined as the rate flow of electric charge round a circuit,

The S.I unit of current is Ampere (A). Mathematically,

Current (I) = C/t

I = C/t................  Equation 1

Where  C = capacity of the battery, t = time

Given: C= 3 Ah, t = 6 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

I = 3/6

I = 1/2

I = 0.5 A.

Hence the average current drawn = 0.5 A

if you have several different substances mixed together, like Italian salad dressing, where do the most dense materials go where
Alecsey [184]
If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the<span> </span>oil <span>floats on the </span>vinegar/<span>water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense.

b) When the ball is near its maximum height it experiences a brief gust of wind that reduces its horizontal velocity by 2.50 m/s
fomenos

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 0.64 m.

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u =2.5m/s

The maximum horizontal distance is

R = \frac{u^2}{2g}\\\\R = \frac{2.5\times 2.5}{9.8}\\\\R = 0.64 m

A 4.00-g bullet, traveling horizontally with a velocity of magnitude 400 m/s, is fired into a wooden block with mass 0.650 kg ,
Maru [420]

Answer:

a) Coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface = 0.12

b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet = 247.8 J

c) Kinetic energy of the block at the instant after the bullet passes through it = 0.541 J

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of bullet = 4.00 g = 0.004 kg

Initial velocity of the bullet = 400 m/s

Mass of wooden block = 0.65 kg

Initial velocity of the wooden block = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

Final velocity of the bullet = 190 m/s

Distance slid through by the block after the collision = d = 72.0 cm = 0.72 m

Let the velocity of the wooden block after collision be v

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Momentum before collision = (Momentum of bullet before collision) + (Momentum of wooden block before collision)

Momentum of bullet before collision = (0.004×400) = 1.6 kgm/s

Momentum of wooden block before collision = (0.65)(0) = 0 kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (Momentum of bullet after collision) + (Momentum of wooden block after collision)

Momentum of bullet after collision = (0.004×190) = 0.76 kgm/s

Momentum of wooden block after collision = (0.65)(v) = (0.65v) kgm/s

Momentum balance gives

1.6 + 0 = 0.76 + 0.65v

0.65v = 1.6 - 0.76 = 0.84

v = (0.84/0.65)

v = 1.29 m/s

The velocity of the wooden block after collision = 1.29 m/s

To obtain the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface, we will apply the work-energy theorem.

The work-energy theorem states that the work done in moving the block from one point to another is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the block between these two points.

The points to consider are the point when the block starts moving (immediately after collision) and when it stops as a result of frictional force.

Mathematically,

W = ΔK.E

W = workdone by the frictional force in stopping the wooden block (since there is no other horizontal force acting on the block)

W = -F.d (minus sign because the frictional force opposes motion)

d = Distance slid through by the block after the collision = 0.72 m

F = Frictional force = μN

where N = normal reaction of the surface on the wooden block and it is equal to the weight of the block.

N = W = mg

F = μmg

W = - μmg × d = (-μ)(0.65)(9.8) × 0.72 = (-4.59μ) J

ΔK.E = (final kinetic energy of the block) - (initial kinetic energy of the block)

Final kinetic energy of the block = 0 J (since the block comes to a rest)

(Initial kinetic energy of the block) = (1/2)(0.65)(1.29²) = 0.541 J

ΔK.E = 0 - 0.541 = - 0.541 J

W = ΔK.E

-4.59μ = -0.541

μ = (0.541/4.59)

μ = 0.12

b) The decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet

(Decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet) = (Kinetic energy of the bullet before collision) - (Kinetic energy of the bullet after collision)

Kinetic energy of the bullet before collision = (1/2)(0.004)(400²) = 320 J

Kinetic energy of the bullet after collision = (1/2)(0.004)(190²) = 72.2 J

Decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet = 320 - 72.2 = 247.8 J

c) Kinetic energy of the block at the instant after the bullet passes through it = (1/2)(0.65)(1.29²) = 0.541 J

Hope this Helps!!!
