The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another. To state an example where this is shown, let's say a piece of paper is burning. Not having a scientific background, you would say that the matter is being destroyed. But in reality, the paper is simple being transformed to ash, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Overall, the total mass would still remain the same.
Let us examine the given situations one at a time.
Case a. A 200-pound barbell is held over your head.
The barbell is in static equilibrium because it is not moving.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
Case b. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane.
The girder is moving, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
Case c: A jet plane has reached its cruising speed at an altitude.
The plane is moving at cruising speed, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
Case d: A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.
The box does not slide because the frictional force between the box and the floor of the truck balances out the inertial force. The box is in static equilibrium.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
Answer:
You would have to find the friction force of the rubber block which would be found with the equation of Normal force (mass*gravity) times cooeficient of friction which would give 8.82 N for the amount of friction and because you need more force than 8.82 N (assuming gravity is 9.8)
False. Ray AB starts at point A and continues through and infinity beyond point B. Ray BA is the reverse. in the name of a Ray the starting point always comes first.
Answer:
The difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1
Explanation:
We are given the cost of electricity that is 12.75 cents per kWh. We want to find out the difference in the operating cost of an incandescent and LED bulb for a time period of 2,000 hours.
Since we are not given the rating of the incandescent bulb and LED bulb, we will assume their ratings.
For a light intensity of 250 Lumens;
The average rating of an LED bulb is approximately 5 Watts.
The average rating of an incandescent bulb is approximately 25 Watts.
Now lets find out the kWh of each bulb.
Energy = Power×Time
For LED bulb:
E = 5×2,000 = 10,000 Wh
Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh
E = 10,000/1000 = 10 kWh
Cost = 12.75×10 = 127.5 cents
Cost = $1.27
For Incandescent bulb:
E = 25×2,000 = 50,000 Wh
Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh
E = 50,000/1000 = 50 kWh
Cost = 12.75×50 = 637.5 cents
Cost = $6.37
Difference in Cost:
Difference = $6.37 - $1.27 = $5.1
Therefore, the difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1.
