Answer:
It reveals that light is a wave
Explanation:
Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.
This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.
The work done by a rotating object can be calculated by the formula Work = Torque * angle.
This is analog to the work done by the linear motion where torque is analog to force and angle is analog to distance. This is Work = Force * distance.
An example will help you. Say that you want to calculate the work made by an engine that rotates a propeller with a torque of 1000 Newton*meter over 50 revolution.
The formula is Work = torque * angle.
Torque = 1000 N*m
Angle = [50 revolutions] * [2π radians/revolution] = 100π radians
=> Work = [1000 N*m] * [100π radians] = 100000π Joules ≈ 314159 Joules of work.
Answer:
a) 1450watts
b) 564watts
c) 1.11
Explanation:
Power consumed = IV
I is the current rating
V is the operating voltage
If a blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V and the current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A then their individual power rating is calculated thus;
a) For blow-dryer
Operating voltage = 120V
Its current rating = 12A
Power consumed = IV
= 120×12
= 1440watts
b) For vacuum cleaner:
Operating voltage is the same as that of blow dryer = 120V
Its current rating = 4.7A
Power consumed = IV
= 120×4.7
= 564watts
c) Energy used = Power consumed × time taken
Energy used = Power × time
Energy used by blow dryer = 1440×20×60
= 1,728,000Joules
Energy used up by vacuum cleaner = 564×46×60
= 564×2760
= 1,556,640Joules
Ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes will be 1,728,000/1,556,640 = 1.11
Answer:
5,000J
Explanation:
Work = Force x Distance
Distance back and forth is canceled out, so either the answer is + or -
5.0m + 5.0m = 10.0m
500N x 10.0m = 5,000J
Energy stored in a capacitor is Electric Potential Energy. Capacitor is device used for storing energy. The work done to charge is a capacitor is stored in it in the form of Electrical potential energy. Electrical potential energy is defined as capacity to do work due to the position change. For example, we know fans have capacitor installed in it. When we turn off the fan, it continue moving using the electrical energy stored in the capacitor.
