Lifting Weights: On earth it takes about 10 Newton-meters (N-m) of energy to raise a 1 kilogram mass to a height of 1 meter. Since 1 N-m equals 1 Joule, that's 10 Joules. If it takes 1 second to lift the weight 1 meter, than you have converted 10 Joules of energy to potential energy in one second.


Hope this helps!

a moving cart hits a spring, traveling at 5.0 m/s at the time of contact. at this instant the cart is motionless by how much is
viva [34]
This state of motionlessness occurs because all of the kinetic energy in the car is absorbed by the spring in the form of elastic potential energy. The mathematical representation is:
1/2 mv² = 1/2 kx²
25m = kx², where m is the mass of the cart, k is the spring constant and x is the spring's extension.

An electric furnace runs 13 hours a day to heat a house during January (31 days). The heating element has a resistance of 7.2 an
liq [111]

Answer:

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Explanation:

given data

runs a day = 13 hours

January days = 31 days

resistance = 7.2 ohm

current = 16.7 A

cost of electricity = $0.10/kWh

to find out

cost of running the furnace during January

solution

first we get her power consumed by furnace that is

Power consumed = \frac{I^2}{R}  ........1

put here value we get

Power consumed = \frac{16.7^2}{7.2}

Power consumed = 38.7347 W

and

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = Power consumed × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = 38.7347 × 3600  

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is 139.445kWh

and

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January is

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 139.445kWh × 13 hours × 31 days

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 56196.335 kWh

so

cost of running the furnace during January is = $0.10/kWh × 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 12.5 wt% of metal A and 87.5 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 4.27
densk [106]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of metal A = 12.5%

Weight of metal B = 87.5%

Length of unit cell = 0.395 nm

Density of A = 4.27 g/cm³

Density of B= 6.35 g/cm³

Weight of A = 61.4 g/mol

Weight of B = 125.7 g/mol

We need to calculate the density of the alloy

Using formula of density

\rho=n\times\dfrac{m}{V_{c}\times N_{A}}

n=\dfrac{\rho\timesV_{c}\times N}{m}....(I)

Where, n = number of atoms per unit cells

m = Mass of the alloy

V=Volume of the unit cell

N = Avogadro number

We calculate the density of alloy

\rho=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{4.27}+\dfrac{87.5}{6.35}}\times100

\rho=5.98

We calculate the mass of the alloy

m=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{61.4}+\dfrac{87.5}{125.7}}\times100

m=111.15

Put the value into the equation (I)

n=\dfrac{5.9855\times(0.395\times10^{-9}\times10^{2})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}{111.15}

n=1.99\approx 2\ atoms/cell

Hence, The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

In a lightning bolt, a large amount of charge flows during a time of 1.2 x 10-3 s. Assume that the bolt can be represented as a
ohaa [14]

Answer: 10.58 C has flowed during the lightning bolt

Explanation:

Given that;

Time of flow t = 1.2 × 10⁻³

perpendicular distance r = 21 m

Magnetic field B = 8.4 x 10⁻⁵ T

Now lets consider the expression for magnetic field;

B = u₀I / 2πr

the current flow is;

I = ( B × 2πr ) / u₀

so we substitute

I = ( (8.4 x 10⁻⁵) × 2 × 3.14 × 21 ) / 4π ×10⁻⁷

=  0.01107792 / 0.000001256

= 8820 A

Hence the charge flows during lightning bolt  will be;

q = It

so we substitute

q = 8820 × 1.2 × 10⁻³

q = 10.58 C

therefore 10.58 C has flowed during the lightning bolt

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?
LiRa [457]
The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.
