As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. There is no one a

round to help, so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. You pull up on the rope to lift the box.

Answer: Machines according to Wikipedia is "a mechanical structure that uses power to apply forces and control movement to perform an intended action. Machines can be driven by animals and people, by natural forces such as wind and water, and by chemical, thermal, or electrical power, and include a system of mechanisms that shape the actuator input to achieve a specific application of output forces and movement ".

A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is created to support movement, it makes carry loads easier.

A pulley is a simple type of machine, which in the above explained case makes carrying a load easier.

Why do radio waves have the lowest frequency of all the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
lara [203]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:  

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The energy of the radio waves photons is the lowest of all the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Also, E={h\times \nu}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

Thus, energy is directly proportional to the frequency. The radio waves have the lowest frequency.

1. write the meaning of the following terms:electrostatic,neutral, positively charged, negatively charged, coulomb,microcoulomb,
dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

Larger animals use proportionately less energy than smaller animals; that is, it takes less energy per kg to power an elephant t
marin [14]

Answer:

Part a)

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

\Delta P = 54 W

Explanation:

As we know that 5000 kg African elephant requires 70,000 Cal for basic needs per day

so we will have

m = 5000 kg

Q = 70,000 Cal

so we have energy required per kg

E = \frac{70,000}{5000}

E = 14 cal/kg

Part a)

now we know that per kg the energy required will be same

so we have mass of the human is 68 kg

so energy required per day is given as

Q = 68 \times 14

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

Resting power is the rate of energy in Joule required per sec

so it is given as

P = \frac{952 \times 4186}{24\times 3600}

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

resting power given in the book is

P' = 100 W

so this is less than the power given

\Delta P = 100 - 46

\Delta P = 54 W
