Answer:

-2 m/s²

8.7 m/s

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law, the sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-120 N = (60 kg) a

a = -2 m/s²

Given:

Δx = 6.0 m

v₀ = 10 m/s

a = -2 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (10 m/s)² + 2 (-2 m/s²) (6.0 m)

v = 8.7 m/s

The kinetic energy of an object depends on which of the following?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
B. the object's speed and mass

Looking at the kinetic energy formula:

1/2mv^2 = Ek

It can be seen that the only two factors that affect the magnitude of the kinetic energy are mass and the object speed. Kinetic energy is also a scalar quantity so the direction is unnecessary.

The resistance 2 Ω, 4 Ω and 8 Ω are connected in parallel. Their equivalent
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter B. R = 8/7 Ω

Explanation:

Data

R1 = 2 Ω

R2 = 4Ω

R3 = 8Ω

To calculate the total resistance use the formula

         1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

-Substitution

         1/R = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8

- Look for the Greatest common factor

              2   4   8    2

               1   2    4   2

                    1    2   2

                          1

The GCF = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

-Sum up the fractions

                 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 = (4 + 2 + 1) / 8

                                        = 7/8

-Find R

               1/R = 7/8    then, R = 8/7 Ω

Karl measures the current through a resistor. What else will he need to measure in order to work out its resistance?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The voltage (V)

Explanation:

Ohms, in his law, has explained the relationship between current, resistance and voltage.

Ohm's law, which states that the voltage passing through a resistor is directly proportional to both the current and the resistance of the resistor, has the following equation:

V = IR

Where;

V = voltage (volts)

I = current (Amperes)

R = resistance (ohms)

According to this question, Karl measures the current, I, through a resistor. In order to calculate his resistance, R, he will need to measure the voltage, V.

<u>Order sequence of steps that are involved in the production of work by a four-stroke heat engine as follows: </u>

  • Piston moves down, allowing fuel-air mixture to enter intake valve
  • Piston moves up, compressing gas and causing gas to increase its temperature
  • Combustion as gas is still compressed; increase in energy from combustion pushes piston down
  • Piston moves up, pushing burned gases through exhaust valve: Spark plug fires, causing

Answer: Options D, A, C and B

<u>Explanation: </u>

There are four basic steps of a four stroke engine- Intake, Combustion, Power and Exhaust. The first step is the intake of air plus fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. At this time, the piston moves down. Now when the chamber is closed, the spark plug ignites fire which expands the fuel gases.

The gases push down, piston and crankshaft rotates in this way. Once the gases the combustion is done, there is plenty of space in the chamber that makes the piston moves up. In this way a complete cycle is completed and the crankshaft moves. That’s the working of this four stroke engines.
