Answer:

Chemical potential energy is a form of potential energy related to the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules. This arrangement may be the result of chemical bonds within a molecule or otherwise. Chemical energy of a chemical substance can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction.

The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$5.94\ \text{m/s}$

$1.7$

$0.577$

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

$\mu_s$ = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}$

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is $5.94\ \text{m/s}$

Length of the slide is given by

$l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}$

$v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}$

The force energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $1.7$ .

For static friction

$\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577$

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is $0.577$ .

A 12 volt car battery is connected to a 3 ohm brake light. What is the current carrying energy to the lights?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

V = IR, where V=voltage, I=current, R=resistance. This is Ohm's Law. (remember that for units V = volts, Ω = ohms, A = amperes.)

V = IR

12 V = I * 3 Ω

12/3 = I

I = 4 A

You have a 2m long wire which you will make into a thin coil with N loops to generate a magnetic field of 3mT when the current i

Anni [7]

Answer:

radius of the loop = 7.9 mm

number of turns N ≅ 399 turns

Explanation:

length of wire L= 2 m

field strength B = 3 mT = 0.003 T

current I = 12 A

recall that field strength B = μnI

where n is the turn per unit length

vacuum permeability μ = $4\pi *10^{-7} T-m/A$ = 1.256 x 10^-6 T-m/A

imputing values, we have

0.003 = 1.256 x 10^−6 x n x 12

0.003 = 1.507 x 10^-5 x n

n = 199.07 turns per unit length

for a length of 2 m,

number of loop N = 2 x 199.07 = 398.14 ≅ 399 turns

since there are approximately 399 turns formed by the 2 m length of wire, it means that each loop is formed by 2/399 = 0.005 m of the wire.

this length is also equal to the circumference of each loop

the circumference of each loop = $2\pi r$

0.005 = 2 x 3.142 x r

r = 0.005/6.284 = $7.9*10^{-4} m$ = 0.0079 m = 7.9 mm

A pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3 of his trip. How much longer will it take him to complete his trip?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: The answer is 1.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3rd of his trip. We are to calculate the time that he will take to complete his trip.

Time taken by the pilot to complete 1/3 rd of his trip = 1/2

Therefore, time taken by the pilot to complete his trip is given by

$t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3=1.5.$

Thus, the pilot will take 1.5 hours to complete his trip.

if a car engine does 600,000 J of work over a 500m distance and the mass of the car is 250Kg then what is the final velocity of

drek231 [11]

Given that

Work = 600,000 J ,

distance(S) = 500 m ,

mass (m) = 250 Kg ,

Determine the velocity of car (v) = ?

We know that,

Work = Force × distance

=> Force = Work ÷ distance

= 600,000 ÷ 500

= 500 N .

Also Force F = m.a ; from Newtons II law

500 = 250 × a

a = 2 m/s.

Final Velocity from the given formula

V² = u² + 2.a.s

= 0 + 2 × 2 × 500

= \sqrt{2000}

v = 44.7 m/s
