Answer:

Required energy Q = 231 J

Explanation:

Given:

Specific heat of copper C = 0.385 J/g°C

Mass m = 20 g

ΔT = (50 - 20)°C = 30 °C

Find:

Required energy

Computation:

Q = mCΔT

Q = 20(0.385)(30)

Required energy Q = 231 J

A 1980-kg car is traveling with a speed of 15.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the horizontal net force that is required to bring
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: 6067.5 N

Explanation:

Work = Change in Energy. To start, all of the energy is kinetic energy, so find the total KE using: KE = 1/2(m)(v^2). Plug in 1980 kg for m and 15.5 m/s for v and get KE = 237847.5 J.

Now, plug this in for work: Work = Force * Distance; so, divide work by distance to get 6067.5 N.

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

An L-R-C series circuit, R = 160 Ω , L = 0.790 H , and C = 1.30×10−2 μF . The source has a voltage amplitude of 140 V and a freq
wolverine [178]

Answer: a) 1 b) 61 W c) 61 W

Explanation:

a) The  Power Factor (also known as cos φ), is defined by the difference in phase between current and voltage, in a RLC series circuit, and is expressed as follows:

cos φ = R / Z = R / \sqrt{(R)^{2} + (Xl -Xc)^{2} }

In resonance, XL =XC, so the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive, so Z=R.

Replacing in the expression for power factor, we have:

cos φ = R/Z = R/R = 1

This means that in resonance, current and voltage are in phase each other.

b) The average power delivered by the source, in resonance, is simply the power dissipated at the resistance R, as follows:

Pavg = V² rms / R = V₀² / √2 / R = 61 W

c) If the circuit remains in resonance, the average power , which does not depends on frequency provided this condition remains, keeps the same, i.e. , 61 W.

The work function for a metal surface is 4.98 eV. What is the largest wavelength of light in nm that will produce photoelectrons
bulgar [2K]

Answer:\lambda =248.99 nm

Explanation:

Given

Work function\left ( \phi \right )=4.98\approx 1.602\times 10^{-19}\times 4.98

h=6.626\times 10^{-34} J

c=2.998\times 10^8

\phi =\frac{hc}{\lambda }

\lambda =\frac{hc}{\phi }

\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 2.998\times 10^8}{4.98\times 1.602\times 10^{-19}}

\lambda =248.99 nm
