Answer:

Using an object of less mass can reduce the energy lost due to friction.

Explanation:

let the mass of the object be M.

acceleration due to gravity be g, coefficient of kinetic friction between object and slider be $\alpha$ , angle between horizntal and slider be ∅ and distance slided by the object be d.

work done by friction of the ramp will be the energy lost by ramp due to friction.

work done = force×displacement

force = $\alpha$ ×M×g×cos∅

displacement= d

therefore work done = $\alpha$ ×M×g×cos∅×d

therefore on decreasing the mass M we can see that work done by friction decreases so the energy lost due to friction also decreases.

An athlete kicks a soccer ball that starts at rest so that it leaves their foot with a speed of 10m/s from the top o f a rectang

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$a=500m/s^2$

Explanation:

We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}$

In our case the final velocity is $v_f=10m/s$ , the initial velocity is $v_i=0m/s$ since it departs from rest, the final time is $t_f=0.02s$ and the initial time we are considering is $t_i=0s$

So for our values we have:

$a=\frac{10m/s-0m/s}{0.02s-0s}=500m/s^2$

In a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by:________

likoan [24]

In a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by magnetic field in the iron core.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the transformer.

<h3>How transformer works?</h3>

An item utilized in the transfer of electric energy is a transformer.
AC current is used for transmission.
It is frequently used to modify the supply voltage between circuits without altering the AC frequency.
The fundamentals of mutual and electromagnetic induction govern how the transformer operates.
Magnetic field through the primary coil changes when primary coil current varies. the iron core of the secondary coil likewise has a magnetic field.
EMF is therefore generated in the secondary coil.

Thus, we can conclude that, in a transformer, energy is carried from the primary coil to the secondary coil by magnetic field in the iron core.

Two rigid tanks of equal size and shape are filled with different gases. The tank on the left contains oxygen, and the tank on t

fredd [130]

Answer:

The number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of oxygen, $M_O=32$

Molar mass of hydrogen, $M_H=2$

We know ideal gas law as:

$PV=nRT$

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n= no. of moles of the gas molecules

R = universal gs constant

T = temperature of the gas

∵ $n=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass of gas in grams

M = molecular mass of the gas

∴Eq. (1) can be written as:

$PV=\frac{m}{M}.RT$

$P=\frac{m}{V}.\frac{RT}{M}$

as: $\frac{m}{V}=\rho\ (\rm density)$

So,

$P=\rho.\frac{RT}{M}$

Now, according to given we have T,P,R same for both the gases.

$P_O=P_H$

$\rho_O.\frac{RT}{M_O}=\rho_H.\frac{RT}{M_H}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\rho_O}{32}=\frac{\rho_H}{2}$

$\rho_O=16\rho_H$

∴The molecules of oxygen are more densely packed than the molecules of hydrogen in the same volume at the same temperature and pressure. So, <em>the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.</em>

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from

Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches
