<h3>Answer:</h3>

800 meters

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Speed as 40 m/s
Time as 20 seconds

We are required to determine the distance traveled

Speed refers to the rate of change in distance.
It is given by;

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Rearranging the formula;

Distance = speed × time

In this case;

Distance = 40 m/s × 20 sec

= 800 meters

Thus, the distance traveled by the car is 800 m

You pull straight up on the string of a yo-yo with a force 0.35 N, and while your hand is moving up a distance 0.16 m, the yo-yo

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a) 0.138J

b) 3.58m/S

c) (1.52J)(I)

Explanation:

a) to find the increase in the translational kinetic energy you can use the relation

$\Delta E_k=W=W_g-W_p$

where Wp is the work done by the person and Wg is the work done by the gravitational force

By replacing Wp=Fh1 and Wg=mgh2, being h1 the distance of the motion of the hand and h2 the distance of the yo-yo, m is the mass of the yo-yo, then you obtain:

$Wp=(0.35N)(0.16m)=0.056J\\\\Wg=(0.062kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(0.32m)=0.19J\\\\\Delta E_k=W=0.19J-0.056J=0.138J$

the change in the translational kinetic energy is 0.138J

b) the new speed of the yo-yo is obtained by using the previous result and the formula for the kinetic energy of an object:

$\Delta E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2$

where vf is the final speed, vo is the initial speed. By doing vf the subject of the formula and replacing you get:

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{m}}\sqrt{\Delta E_k+(1/2)mv_o^2}\\\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{0.062kg}}\sqrt{0.138J+1/2(0.062kg)(2.9m/s)^2}=3.58\frac{m}{s}$

the new speed is 3.58m/s

c) in this case what you can compute is the quotient between the initial rotational energy and the final rotational energy

$\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{1/2I\omega_f^2}{1/2I\omega_o^2}=\frac{\omega_f^2}{\omega_o^2}\\\\\omega_f=\frac{v_f}{r}\\\\\omega_o=\frac{v_o}{r}\\\\\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{v_f^2}{v_o^2}=\frac{(3.58m/s)}{(2.9m/s)^2}=1.52J$

hence, the change in Er is about 1.52J times the initial rotational energy

Two long, parallel wires separated by 2.00 cm carry currents in opposite directions. The current in one wire is 1.75 A, and the

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The force per unit length between the two wires is $6.0\cdot 10^{-5} N/m$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force per unit length exerted between two current-carrying wires is given by

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0 = 4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A$ is the vacuum permeability

$I_1, I_2$ are the currents in the two wires

r is the separation between the two wires

For the wires in this problem, we have

$I_1 = 1.75 A$

$I_2 = 3.45 A$

r = 2.00 cm = 0.02 m

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(1.75)(3.45)}{2\pi (0.02)}=6.0\cdot 10^{-5} N/m$

a flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 ohms. what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is 2.5A?

Mashcka [7]

E = I R

That means

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

= (2.5 A) x (2.4 ohms)

= 6 volts .

An electric model train is accelerated at a rate of 8 m/s^2 by a 12 N force? What is the

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

m = 1.5 kg

Explanation:

Data:

Aceleration (a) = 8 m/s²
Force (F) = 12 N
Mass (m) = ?

Use formula:

$\boxed{m = \frac{F}{a}}$

Replace in the formula:

$\boxed{m = \frac{12N}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}$

Equate the newtons:

$\boxed{m = \frac{12kg*\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}$

Simplify m/s²:

$\boxed{m = \frac{12kg}{8}}$

It divides:

$\boxed{m =1.5kg}$

What is the mass of the train?

The mass of the train is <u>1.5 kilograms.</u>

Which statement accurately describes what happens when water turns to steam in terms of energy?

Fynjy0 [20]

The correct answer is D. The water absorbs energy which causes the water molecules to have more kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from a liquid to a gas.
