Engineers who design battery-operated devices such as cell phones and MP3 players try to make them as efficient as possible. An

engineer tests a cell phone and finds that the batteries supply 10,000 J of energy to make 5500 J of output energy in the form of sound and light for the screen. How efficient is the phone?

efficiency= [useful energy transferred ÷ total energy supply]×100%

So, [5500÷10000]×100%=0.55×100

                                        =55%

State a Newtowns second law​
astraxan [27]

Answer:

the second law states that the force F is the product of an object's mass and its acceleration a: F = m * a. For an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object.

A 3.6-volt battery is used to operate a cell phone
Marina CMI [18]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Potential energy, V=3.6\ V

Power dissipated,  P=0.064\ Watt

We know that the power dissipated is given by :

P=VI

I is the current passing through the phone.

I=\dfrac{P}{V}

I=\dfrac{0.064\ W}{3.6\ V}

I=0.017\ A

or

I = 0.018 A

Hence, the current that passes through the phone is (1) 0.018 A.

Two charged particles separated by a distance of = 3 and experienced electrostatic forces of = 60 . What would be this force if
klemol [59]

Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:  

"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}} (1)

Where:

F_{E}=60 N  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1} and q_{2} are the electric charges

d=3 m is the separation distance between the charges  

Then:

60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}} (2)

Isolating q_{1} and q_{2}:

q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2} (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to d_{1}=1 m, (1) is rewritten as:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}} (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

F_{E}= 539.4 N (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

How do earthquakes affect earths surface?
ivanzaharov [21]
Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.

What is a magnetic field’s shape?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Magnets come in a variety of shapes and one of the more common is the horseshoe (U) magnet. The horseshoe magnet has north and south poles just like a bar magnet but the magnet is curved so the poles lie in the same plane. The magnetic lines of force flow from pole to pole just like in the bar magnet.
