Answer:

Energy remain conserved while converting its form from one to another

Explanation:

As per the conservation of energy, energy always changes its form from one form to another and it is neither destroyed nor created. The total amount of energy always remains the same.

There are several forms of energy such as thermal energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, electromagnetic energy, etc.

For example –

During any chemical reaction, form of one chemical changes into another. In this process some amount of chemical energy remains conserved while the deficit in total starting energy is released as heat and light energy

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given by

$E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

$q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Outside the charge will be

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

In 5 meters, a person running at 0.8 m/s accelerates at 1.6 m/s2. How fast 16 points

frutty [35]

They were going at a velocity 4.07m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance s =5 m

initial velocity u= 0.8 m/s

Acceleration a =1.6m/s2

We have to calculate the velocity with which they were going afterwards i.e final velocity.

Use the equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as\\=0.8^2+2\times 1.6\times 5\\=16.64\\v=4.07 m/s$

They were going with a velocity 4.07 m/s afterwards.

A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 620 m and diameter 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to th

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) 89 m/s

(b) 11000 N

Explanation:

Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.

(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

$v=\dfrac{2\times 620 \text{ m}}{14\text{ s}} = \dfrac{1240\text{ m}}{14\text{ s}}=88.571428\ldots \text{ m/s}= 89\text{ m/s}$

(b) The tension, $T$ , is given by

$v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

where $v$ is the speed, $T$ is the tension and $\mu$ is the mass per unit length.

Hence,

$T = \mu\cdot v^{2}$

To determine $\mu$ , we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

$\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}$

where $m$ is the mass and $V$ is the volume.

$m=\rho\cdot V$

If the length is denoted by $l$ , then

$\mu = \dfrac{m}{l} = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l}$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l} v^{2}$

The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3

The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is

$V = \pi \dfrac{d^{2}}{4} l$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2 l}{4l}v^2 = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2}{4}v^2$

$T = \dfrac{8050\times\pi\times0.015^2}{4} \times 88.57^2$

$T = 11159.4186\ldots \text{ N} = 11000 \text{ N}$

Does the KE of a car change more when it accelerates from 22 km/h to 32 km/h or when it accelerates from 32 km/h to 42 km/h

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car = m

initial velocity of the first case, u = 22 km/h = 6.11 m/s

final velocity of the first case, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s

change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(8.89² - 6.11²)

= 20.85m J

initial velocity of the second case, u = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s

final velocity of the second case, v = 42 km/h = 11.67 m/s

change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(11.67² - 8.89²)

= 28.58m J

The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.

A uniform electric field contains a number of particles. All are experiencing forces in the same direction as the electric field

myrzilka [38]

Answer: D

All the particles must be uncharged

Explanation:

If all the particles are positively charged, then there will be force of repulsion between them which will give different directions away from each other. The same is applicable if they are all negatively charged.

If the particles are positively and negatively charged, their will be force of attraction between them which will give different directions towards each other.

For all to be experiencing forces in the same direction, We can conclude that

All the particles must be uncharged.
