Answer:

<em>The engine must provide power to compensate friction</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

Newton's first law states that a body will keep its speed or state of rest while no external net force is applied. Our automobile is running through a road which surface exerts a frictional force on the wheels. If we didn't use fuel, the automobile will eventually stop, because the unbalanced friction force causes deceleration. To compensate that force, we must provide power to the engine. When our speedometer shows a constant speed, the net force is zero, but the car needs to accelerate some, just to compensate the friction force.

The total acceleration keeps being zero, but the engine is actually doing work against friction.

The amount of energy lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy is about _______. a. 10% b. 50%
Sophie [7]

The amount of energy lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy is about 90%.

There are a total of 4 trophic levels.

The producers which bare plants represent the first trophic level. Herbivores represent the second trophic level. Carnivores represent the third trophic level. Top carnivores represent the fourth trophic level.

The 10 % rule is followed by the energy flow in a food chain. It means that moving from one trophic level to another, only 10% of energy is transferred and the rest is lost in the atmosphere.

So the 90% percent energy is lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy.

Find the minimum radius of a helium balloon that will lift her off the ground. the density of helium gas is 0.178 kg/m3, and the
marysya [2.9K]

Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Where r is the radius of balloon.

Here mass of woman = 68 kg

Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V

Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V

Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V

Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V

So we have 1.112 V =  68+ 0.178*V

   0.934 V = 68

     V = 72.81 m^3

    \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81

     r = 2.59 m

So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m

A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.76 cm and a plate area of
Monica [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plate separation, d = 1.76 cm = 0.0176 m

Area of plates, A = 25 cm^2 = 0.0025 m^2

V = 255 V

(a) Capacitance of capacitor

C = \frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}

C = \frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 0.0025}{0.0176}

C = 1.258 x 10^-12 F

charge is same before and after immersion as the battery is disconnected

q = C V

q = 1.258 x 10^-12 x 255 = 3.2 x 10^-10 C

(b)

Capacitance before, C = 1.258 x 10^-12 C

capacitance after, C' = k x C = 80 x 1.258 x 10^-12 = 100.64 x 10^-12 C

Where, k is the dielectric constant of water = 80

Potential difference after immersion, V' = V / k = 255 / 80 = 3.1875 V

(c) initial energy,

U = \frac{q^{2}}{2C}

U = \frac{(3.2\times 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\times 1.258\times 10^{-12 }}=4.07\times 10^{-8}J

Final energy

U' = \frac{q^{2}}{2C'}

U' = \frac{(3.2\times 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\times 100.64\times 10^{-12}}=5.08\times 10^{-10}J
