A 0.600 kg toy car is powered by one 9V battery (9.00 V) connected directly to a small DC motor. The car has an effective energy

conversion efficiency of 30.6 % , meaning that 30.6 % of the electric energy applied to the motor is converted into translational kinetic energy. After 5.69 s , the car, which is initially at rest, reaches a speed of 3.43 m / s . What is the average current supplied to the car's motor

Answer:

The average current I supplied to the cars motor is 0.225 Amperes.

Explanation:

The mass of the toy car is given as, m = 0.6 kg

The toy car operates at a steady speed of, v = 3.43 m/s.

It achieves the steady speed after a time, t = 5.69 seconds.

The total kinetic energy of the car is given by,

E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

= 0.5 × 0.6 × $(3.43)^2$

= 3.53 Joules

Since the efficiency of the motor is 30.6% = 0.306

The electrical energy equivalent is supplied to motor = $\frac{3.53}{0.306} = 11.54 Joules$ .

The electrical energy is given by P × t = I × V × t = 11.54 Joules

P is the electric power where P = I × V where V is the voltage of the cell and is the average current, I.

Therefore we can write I × 9 × 5.69 = 11.54 Joules.

So the average current I = $\frac{11.54}{9 \times 5.69 }$ = 0.225 Amperes.

The dwarf planet Ceres contains over 50% of the mass of the main asteroid belt.

PolarNik [594]

False

Explanation:

Called an asteroid for many years, Ceres is so much bigger and so different from its rocky neighbors that scientists classified it as a dwarf planet in 2006. Even though Ceres comprises 25 percent of the asteroid belt's total mass, tiny Pluto is still 14 times more massive.

Explain why air masses do not mix

kati45 [8]

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

Rick is moving a wheelbarrow full of bricks out to the curb. The bricks in the wheelbarrow weigh more than Rick is able to carry

USPshnik [31]

Answer is given below

Explanation:

This is happen because here when Rick walks with full loaded wheelbarriow of bricks, he able to move it because Rick lifts the wheelbarrow handle
So, most of the weight of full loaded wheelbarrow's load goes on that's wheel and due to friction force between wheel and surface it can easy to move
He uses force to rotate the wheel, much more than the force applied to the rim of the wheel on the axis of rotation or torque

When the pendulum bob reaches the mean position, the net force acting on it is zero. Why then does it swing past the mean positi

ryzh [129]

Answer:

<u>The pendulum bob swing past the mean position because:</u>

When a pendulum's bob is accelerating at its extreme position its velocity is zero. Due to the restoring toque the bob starts to accelerates towards its mean postion. The maximum acceleration of the pendulum's bob is $-w^{2} A$ and the the acceleration decreases as $-w^{2} x$ towards the mean position.

The acceleration at the mean position becomes zero but the velocity remains maximum. Hence the bob continues to move and does not stops.Thus it can summarised as the force decreases ,acceleration decreases and velocity increases at slow rate.
