Why does electrical energy decrease the farther it travels in wires?

1 answer:

6 0

Because as energy flows some energy goes away because when it moves it use some energy!Think of it like....An Ice cube!If you put it on the table it starts to move and the move it move the more(energy)it uses so after time the ice is not as big as before.

I hope this helps-Karma Cosmos

A train whose proper length is 1200 m passes at a high speed through a station whose platform measures 900 m, and the station ma

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c

A rock thrown with speed 8.50 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m bef

frez [133]

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

The vertical component of the launch velocity is
v = (8.5 m/s)*sin30° = 4.25 m/s
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
8.5*cos30° = 7.361 m/s

Assume that aerodynamic resistance may be ignored.
Because the horizontal distance traveled is 19 m, the time of travel is
t = 19/7.361 = 2.581 s

The downward vertical travel is modeled by
h = (-4.25 m/s)*(2.581 s) + 0.5*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.581 s)²
= 21.675 m

Answer: The height is 21.7 m (nearest tenth)

You stand on a bridge above a river and drop a rock into the water below from a height of 25 m. (Assume no air resistance)

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

PART a)

here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it

so its acceleration is only due to gravity

so we will have

$a = g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Part b)

Now from kinematics equation we will have

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

now we have

y = 25 m

so from above equation

$25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(9.8 )t^2$

$t = 2.26 s$

Part c)

If we throw the rock horizontally by speed 20 m/s

then in this case there is no change in the vertical velocity

so it will take same time to reach the water surface as it took initially

So t = 2.26 s

Part D)

Initial speed = 20 m/s

angle of projection = 65 degree

now we have

$v_x = vcos\theta$

$v_x = 20 cos65 = 8.45 m/s$

$v_y = vsin\theta$

$v_y = 20 sin65 = 18.13 m/s$

PART E)

when stone will reach to maximum height then we know that its final speed in y direction becomes zero

so here we can use kinematics in Y direction

$v_f - v_y = at$

$0 - 18.13 = (-9.8) t$

$t = 1.85 s$

so it will take 1.85 s to reach the top

A simple pendulum having a length of 1.02 m and a mass of 6.66 kg undergoes simple harmonic motion when given an initial speed o

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Time period of pendulum is 2.02 s.

Explanation:

A simple pendulum is a device which consists of mass m hanging from the string of length L attached to the some point.When displaced and released its swings back and forth with periodic motion.

The time period of pendulum is defined as time taken by the pendulum to complete one full oscillation . it is denoted by T.

By Huygens law of period of pendulum,

T = 2π $\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$ eqn 1
