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

1 answer:

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

James Naismith was a physical education teacher

Sprinfield College

Upon the request of his boss, Naismith was tasked to create an indoor sports game to help athletes keep in shape as they endured the cold New England winters. Naismith's boss also stipulated that this new game should be "fair for all players and not too rough."

I just looked it up hope this helps tho.

Why are identical bulbs arranged in a series circuit with a battery less bright than those arranged in a parallel circuit with t

tatuchka [14]

Explanation:

Resistors connected in series obey the following equation:

$R_{\rm eq} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + ...$

Resistors connected in parallel obey the following equation:

$\frac{1}{R_{\rm eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + ...$

The total current of the circuit will obey the Ohm's Law: V = IR. And the current will be divided across the resistors (bulbs) depending on their resistances. So, if a bulb has a higher resistance, then its current will be lesser, and it will be less bright. If a bulb has a lower resistance, then its current will be higher, and it will be brighter.

According to the above resistances connected in series and parallel, clearly, the resistances (bulbs) connected in series will have more resistance in total, and therefore less current will flow across them, and they will be less bright.

The left face of a biconvex lens has a radius of curvature of magnitude 11.7 cm, and the right face has a radius of curvature of

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

R1 = + 11.7 cm

R2 = - 18.7 cm

n = 1.52

(a) Use lens maker formula

$\frac{1}{f}=\left ( n-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}} \right )$

$\frac{1}{f}=\left ( 1.52-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{11.7}}+\frac{1}{18.7} \right )$

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{0.52\times 30.4}{218.79}$

f = 13.84 cm

(b)

R1 = + 18.7 cm

R2 = - 11.7 cm

n = 1.52

(a) Use lens maker formula

$\frac{1}{f}=\left ( n-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}} \right )$

$\frac{1}{f}=\left ( 1.52-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{18.7}}+\frac{1}{11.7} \right )$

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{0.52\times 30.4}{218.79}$

f = 13.84 cm

A printer has a power of 100 W. It takes 30 seconds to print out a document. How much energy will it

Black_prince [1.1K]

100W translates to 100 watts consumed in 1 hour. Assuming the printer consumes electrical energy at a steady rate, then: 100 ÷ 60 = 1.6667 watts per minute. 1.6667 ÷ 2 = 0.8333 watts consumed in 30 seconds.

What is non uniform velocity

saul85 [17]

Answer:

"Non-uniform velocity" occurs when an object changes its velocity upon motion. This happens when the object either accelerates or decelerates (negative acceleration) in its speed or changes its direction.

Explanation:

"Velocity" refers to speed with a specific direction.

If the velocity is uniform, there's no change in speed and direction. However, if changes occur on either the speed, direction or both, then the velocity becomes variable or non-uniform.

For example, when it comes to a moving car, it is said to be in non-uniform velocity if the distances covered is unequal in relation to the equal intervals of time.
