If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper.  Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely.  Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

A robot is exploring​ charon, the dwarf planet​ pluto's largest moon. Gravity on charon is 0.278 meters per second ​[m divided b
DochEvi [55]

In order to find the efficiency first we will find the Change in Potential energy of the small stone that robot picked up

First we will find the mass of the stone

As it is given that stone is spherical in shape so first we will find its volume

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi *(\frac{0.06}{2})^3

V = 1.13 * 10^{-4} m^3

Now it is given that it's specific gravity is 10.8

So density of rock is

\rho = 10.8 * 10^3 kg/m^3

mass of the stone will be

m = \rho V

m = 10.8* 10^3 * 1.13 * 10^{-4}

m = 1.22 kg

now change in potential energy is given as

\Delta U = mgH

here

g = gravity on planet = 0.278 m/s^2

H = height lifted upwards = 15 cm

\Delta U = 1.22* 0.278 * 0.15

\Delta U = 0.051 J

Now energy supplied by internal circuit of robot is given by

E = Vit

V = voltage supplied = 10 V

i = current = 1.83 mA

t = time = 12 s

E = 10* 1.83 * 10^{-3} * 12

E = 0.22 J

Now efficiency is defined as the ratio of output work with given amount of energy used

\eta = \frac{\Delta U}{E}*100

\eta = \frac{0.051}{0.22} = 0.23

so efficiency will be 23 %

A father fashions a swing for his children out of a long rope that he fastens to the limb of a tall tree. As one of the children
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

                     

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Where:

v^{2}: is the tangential speed = 9.50 m/s

r: is the distance = 6.00 m

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(9.50 m/s)^{2}}{6.00 m} = 15.04 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

I hope it helps you!
