Answer:
E=252J
Explanation:
The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:
E mech=K+U
Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is given by:
Ug=mgh
Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.
The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.
W=→Fg=mg
We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.
Ug=12N⋅21m
⇒Ug=252Nm=252J
Hope it helped, God bless you!
Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or change your direction—or change both. If you're not changing your speed and you're not changing your direction, then you simply cannot be accelerating—no matter how fast you're going.
Answer:
3.7 A
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Magnetic field strength, B = 5 * 10^(-5) T
Distance of magnetic field from wire, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m
The magnetic field, B, due to a current, I, flowing a wire is given as:
B = (μ₀*I) / 2πr
Where μ₀ = permeability of free space
To get the current, I, we make I the subject of the formula:
I = (2πr * B) / μ₀
I = (2 * 3.142 * 5 * 10^(-5)) / (1.25663706 × 10^(-6))
I = 3.7 A
The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is
1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m
Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as
<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>
and under constant acceleration,
<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2
According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so
∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m
