The correct answer is B. Energy an object has because of its motion or position

Explanation:

In physics, the mechanical energy of a body or object is determined by the position and/or motion. Due to this, the mechanical energy includes both the kinetic energy (energy during movement) and the potential energy (energy according to location or stored energy). Additionally, the mechanical energy as other types of energy is constant if no forces are acting over it in an ideal system, but in reality, this type of energy is influenced by external forces, for example, friction. Thus, the correct definition of mechanical energy is " Energy an object has because of its motion or position".

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

A body which has surface area 5cm² and temperature of 727°C radiates 300J of energy in one minute. Calculate it's emissivity giv
cestrela7 [59]
<h2>Answer: 0.17</h2>

Explanation:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":  

P=\sigma A T^{4} (1)  

Where:  

P=300J/min=5J/s=5W is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing 1W=\frac{1Joule}{second}=1\frac{J}{s}

\sigma=5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}} is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.  

A=5cm^{2}=0.0005m^{2} is the Surface area of the body  

T=727\°C=1000.15K is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.

However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close.  So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:

P=\sigma A \epsilon T^{4} (2)  

Where \epsilon is the body's emissivity

(the value we want to find)

Isolating \epsilon from (2):

\epsilon=\frac{P}{\sigma A T^{4}} (3)  

Solving:

\epsilon=\frac{5W}{(5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}})(0.0005m^{2})(1000.15K)^{4}} (4)  

Finally:

\epsilon=0.17 (5)  This is the body's emissivity

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V. What are (a) the total energy stored i
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(A) Total energy will be equal to 0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Energy density will be equal to 0.0175J/m^3

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the plate d = 2 cm = 0.02 m

So area of the plate A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.02^2=0.001256m^2

Distance between the plates d = 0.50 mm = 0.50\times 10^{-3}m

Permitivity of free space \epsilon _0=8.85\times 10^{-12}F/m

Potential difference V =200 volt

Capacitance between the plate is equal to C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.001256}{0.50\times 10^{-3}}=0.022\times 10^{-9}F

(a) Total energy stored in the capacitor is equal to

E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.022\times 10^{-9}\times 200^2=0.044\times 10^{-5}J

(b) Volume will be equal to V=Ad, here A is area and d is distance between plates

V=0.001256\times 0.02=2.512\times 10^{-5}m^3

So energy density =\frac{Energy}{volume}=\frac{0.044\times 10^{-5}}{2.512\times 10^{-5}}=0.0175J/m^3
