Where does energy go when an object hits the ground?

1 answer:

8 0

It turns into kinetic energy; as an object falls it loses potential energy and it can be transfer into friction into heat.

Say I have a series circuit with 20v and four 65 ohm resistors, what is the current in each resistor?

Komok [63]

Data:

$E = 20 V$
$R_{1} = 65\Omega$
$R_{2} = 65\Omega$
$R_{3} = 65\Omega$
$R_{4} = 65\Omega$

Now that we have all the values we need properly identified, simply calculate the equivalent total resistance of the circuit and the intensity of the total electric current using the Ohm's Law:

 $R_{T} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} + R_{4}$
$R_{T} = 65 + 65 + 65+ 65$
$R_{T} = 260\Omega$

Like this:

$I_{T} = \frac{E}{ R_{T} }$

$I_{T} = \frac{20}{ 260 }$
$I_{T} = 0,076923076...$

$\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$
Answer:
The intensity of the total electric current
 $\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$

P.S:. Since the association is in series, the current of 0.07A is the same for all resistors.

10. A boat traveling at 9.5 m/s reduces its acceleration at a rate of 2.5 m/s2. What is the final speed of the boat

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.75m/s

Explanation:

using the second equation of motion, the time is calculated.

and with the formula a= (v - u)/t

where a is acceleration but in this case it's deceleration (and should be negated as you solve it ) .

v is final velocity

u is initial velocity

t is time taken

Which of the following is not a form of an inclined plane?

disa [49]

Answer: piece of paper cut into a triangle

Explanation:

A plane surface lifted at an angle to horizontal from one edge is said to be an inclined plane. A wedge, a ramp or a screw are examples of a forms of inclined plane. A screw is like a inclined plane wound on a cylinder. These are simple machines. On the other hand, a piece of paper cut into a triangle is not an inclined plane as it does rise at an angle from horizontal. It is not a machine.
