DochEvi [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

Explanation:

Work done, W = mgy where m = mass of stone = 12,000 lb, g = 32 ft/s² and y = vertical distance = 15 ft.

So, W = mgy = 12,000 lb × 32 ft/s² × 15 ft. = 5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

Explain how fossil fuels are used to produce electricity?
pentagon [3]

<u>Answer</u>

Fossils are remains from animals and plants. They are embedded in rock and preserved in petrified form.

In a fossil fuels power plant carbon fuels such as oil, coal and gas are burnt to generate steam that are used to turn large turbines that generate electricity.

These turbines turn magnetic fields inside conductor inducing a large current in them.

Fossils fuels are much reliable as they can be used for a long period of time.

Calculate the minimum frequency of ultrasound (in Hz) that will allow you to see details as small as 0.193 mm in human tissue. (
STatiana [176]

Answer:

f = 7.97 x 10⁶ Hz = 7.97 MHz

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by the following formula:

v = f\lambda

where,

v = speed of the ultrasound wave through human tissue = 1540 m/s

f = frequency of ultrasound wave required = ?

λ = wavelength of ultrasound waves = smallest detail required = 0.193 mm

λ = 0.193 mm = 1.93 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

1540\ m/s = f(1.93\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m)\\f = \frac{1540\ m/s}{1.93\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>f = 7.97 x 10⁶ Hz = 7.97 MHz</u>

Mike is cutting the grass using a human-powered lawn mower. He pushes the mower with a force of 45 n directed at an angle of 41Â
Andrej [43]

Answer:

work done will be equal to 305.05 J

Explanation:

We have given force exerted F = 45 N

Angle with the horizontal \Theta =41^{\circ}

Distance moved due to exerted force d = 9.1 m

Work done is equal to W=Fcos\Theta \times d , here F is force \Theta is angle with horizontal and d is distance moved due to force

So work done W=45\times cos41^{\circ}\times 9.1=309.05J

So work done will be equal to 305.05 J

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat
UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J
