Answer:

Kinetic energy

When work is done the energy is transferred from one type to another. This transferred energy may appear as kinetic energy.

For example, when you pedal your bicycle so that its speed increases, you are doing work to transfer chemical energy from your muscles to the kinetic energy of the bicycle.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses by virtue of its movement. The amount of kinetic energy possessed by a moving object depends on the mass of the object and its speed. The greater the mass and the speed of the object the greater its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy Ek of an object of mass m at a speed v is given by the relationship

{E_k} = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}

m is the mass of the object in kilograms ( kg) and v is the speed of the object in metres per second ( m\,s^{-1}).

Explanation:

When work is done on an object it may also lead to energy being transferred to the object in the form of gravitational potential energy of the object.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has by virtue of its position above the surface of the Earth. When an object is lifted, work is done. When work is done in raising the height of an object, energy is transferred as a gain in the gravitational potential energy of the object.

For example, suppose you lift a suitcase of mass m through a height h. The weight W of the suit case is a downward force of size mg. In lifting the suitcase, you would have to pull upwards on it with a force equal in size to its weight, mg.

Two suitcases. One has a green force arrow pointing up labelled F and a purple force arrow pointing down labelled 'Weight = mg'. The other case is raised by a height labelled h.

Suitcases with forces and height labelled

When this force (equal to the weight mg, but upwards) is applied to the suitcase over the distance h:

Work\,done=force\,\times\,distance\,upwards=mg\,\times\,h

This energy is transferred to potential energy when raising the object through a known height.

Energy = mass \times gravitational\,field\,strength \times height

E = m \times g \times h

This is the relationship used to calculate gravitational potential energy.

{E_p} = mgh

where m is the mass of the object in kilograms (kg), g is the gravitational field strength, (for positions near the surface of the Earth g = 9∙8 newtons per kilogram ( N kg ^{-1} and h is the height above the surface of the Earth in metres ( m).

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?<br><br>34567
Lynna [10]

Answer:

    IMA of given system =   \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }

Explanation:

  • The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} } .
  • Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by F_{r}. The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. F_{e} .
  • Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is  \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} } .
  • Its mathematical reference would be:

                                                IMA =   \frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }

If you use a force of 90 N to pick up a 10 pound bag of charcoal, what is the acceleration?
hjlf

Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2

When you jump straight up as high as you can, what is the order of magnitude of the maximum recoil speed that you give to the Ea
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Explanation:

If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.

Since initial momentum = final momentum,

mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.

My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?

So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂

mv₁ = MV₂

V₂ = mv₁/M =  54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

We can model a lightning bolt as a very long, straight wire. If a lightning bolt carries a current of 30 kA, and you are unfortu
Liula [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field experienced = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field around an infinite straight current-carrying wire at a distance r from the wire is given by

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = ?

I = 20 KA = 20000 A

r = 8.9 m

μ₀ = magnetic permeability = 1.257 × 10⁻⁶ T.m/A

B = (1.257 × 10⁻⁶ × 20000)/(2π×8.9) = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T
