What type of energy is at work when mini-blinds are being raised or lowered

Physics
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago
4 0
The type of energy that is ar work when blinds are being raised or lowered is potential energy. because potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position, the main cause of the potential energy is the acceleration due to gravity. so that is why its formual is PE = mgh
where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. A
Flura [38]

Answer:

The mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Radius r = 0.330

m

Force F = 290 N

Angular acceleration \alpha  = 0.814 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

From the formula of torque,

 Γ = I\alpha                                        (1)

 Γ = rF                                       (2)

rF = I \alpha

Find momentum of inertia I from above equation,

I = \frac{rF}{\alpha }

I = \frac{0.330 \times 290}{0.814}

I = 117.56 Kg. m^{2}

Find the momentum inertia of disk,

 I = \frac{1}{2}  Mr^{2}

M = \frac{2I}{r^{2} }

M = \frac{2 \times 117.56}{(0.330)^{2} }

M = 2159.045 Kg

Therefore, the mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

What will the stopping distance be for a 2,000-kg car if -2,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 20 m/s?
astraxan [27]

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

<u>F= ma</u>

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

<u>v=u +at</u>

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs


s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

<u>s= 200 m</u>

Why does a black hole have a stronger gravitational pull than the star that collapse to form it?​
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

We consider Black Holes as an object that possesses extreme gravitational pull, but wait aren’t they have the same mass(or less) as that of their parent star. And we know that gravitational pull ‘F’ is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so if the mass is same(or less) then why do black holes have stronger gravity than the stars they evolved from.

The above consideration that F is directly proportional to the mass is partially correct, one should also mention that F is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the considered objects.

F = G*(M*m)/(r^2)

Where:

· F is the force acting on you due to star

· M is the mass of Parent star / Black Hole

· m is the mass of an observer, here it is you

· r is the radial distance between the star and you

We know that black hole formed, has much smaller size than that of its parent star and all that mass is compressed to a much smaller scale. If you consider a Star as having a size of an earth then the black hole formed will have a size of small city.

Let us say that you are standing at an r distance away from a star (r>R1), where R1 is the radius of the star, of course (R1>R2), where R2 is the radius of Black Hole.

The Force by which the star in case 1 attracts you will be equal(or less) to the force by which black hole in case 2. So, there is nothing increase in gravitational pull, it is same(or less) as that of the parent star.

Wait a minute, then why people say that black holes have massive gravitational pull.

The gravitational pull increases as we move closer to the black hole, and when we are at its surface, it is enormous as compare to its star surface, because of the difference in the size.

We know that gravitational pull not only depends upon the mass but also depends upon the radial distance between the concerned objects here, it is you and the black hole.

Here, the size of the black hole is much smaller than that of its parent star, i.e (R1>>>R2), and thus we get F1<<<F2, and that is why we say that the black hole has enormous gravitational pull, such that nothing can escape, not even light.

Which trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web?
insens350 [35]

The highest trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules.

Even though the food web is not shown in the question, but we know that energy decreases steadily as it is passed on from one trophic level to the next according to the second law of thermodynamics.

Energy enters into the system from the sun. The primary producers utilize this energy to produce food. As plants are eaten by animals, this energy is transferred along the food web an diminishes at each higher trophic level.

At the highest trophic level, the the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web is found.

Which term describes the point when two objects reach the same temperature and there is no longer a transfer of energy through h
yaroslaw [1]
The term you need to know is equilibrium. Technically it means that heat gained = heat lost. Normally in beginning chemistry classes the evidence for this condition is a stable temperature.
