Answer: Fuel is burned in engines to make the motor move.

( Chemical to Mechanical )

Explanation:

during combustion of the diesel ( when the fuel is burnt in the engine of the vehicle, the diesel ( chemical energy ) is transformed or converted to Mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is what the truck uses in moving. Without the combustion of the fuel the vehicle won’t move and the combustion of diesel is achieved through compression unlike that of fuel.

A certain radio wave has a wavelength of 6.0 × 10-2m. What is its frequency in hertz?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the radio wave, λ = 6.0 × 10⁻²m

radio wave is an example of electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves travel with speed of light, which is equal to 3 x 10⁸ m/s².

Applying wave equation;

V = F λ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

F is the frequency of the wave

λ  is the wavelength

Make F the subject of the formula

F = V /  λ

F = (3 x 10⁸) / (6.0 × 10⁻²)

F = 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

A 1500 kg elevator, suspended by a single cable with tension 16.0 kN, is measured to be moving upward at 1.2 m/s. Air resistance
kirill115 [55]

Tension in the Cable is 0.87 m/s6^2, Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m is 1.6*10^5 N, Work done by gravity is  1.47 * 10^3 N, Elevator Kinetic Energy is 13897.5J and Elevator Speed after rising to 10m is 4.312 m/s.

Tension is a pulling force that operates in one dimension along the cables' axes in the opposite direction from the direction of the applied force. The combined weight of the elevator box and the passenger riding inside it, in the case of an elevator, provides the pulling force in the cables is called Tension.

A moving object or particle's kinetic energy, which depends on both mass and speed, is one of its characteristics. The type of motion can be vibration, translation, rotation around an axis, or any combination of these. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that an item or particle possesses as a result of motion.

We know that,

Tension in the Cable

T = m(g+a)  = g+a = T/m = 16 * 103 / 1500 = 10.67 m/s2

a = 10.67 - 9.8 = 0.87 m/s6^2

Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m.

U^2 = u^2 +2as

= 1.22 +2*0.87*10

=1.6*10^5 N

Work done by gravity  = mg * 10 = 14700 * 10 = 1.47 * 10^3 N

Elevator Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2*1500*18.53 = 13897.5J

Elevator Speed after rising to 10m ,

U^2 = u^2 +2as =  1.2 +2*0.87*10 = 18.6

U =(18.6)^1/2=4.312 m/s
