The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.

What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?  

If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?

Given Information:  

Mass = m = 0.5 kg

Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m

Normal force = Fn = 1 N

Required Information:  

Potential energy = PE = ?

Work done = W = ?

Answer:

Potential energy = 0.343 Joules

Work done = 0.39 N.m

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.

PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07

PE = 0.343 Joules

As you can see in the attached image

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

sinθ = 0.07/0.4

θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)

θ = 10.078°

The horizontal component of the normal force is given by

Fx = Fncos(θ)

Fx = 1*cos(10.078)

Fx = 0.984 N

Work done is given by

W = Fxd

where d is the horizontal distance

W = 0.984*0.4

W = 0.39 N.m

The per-unit impedance of a single-phase electric load is 0.3. The base power is 500 kVA, and the base voltage is 13.8 kV. a. Fi
Leto [7]

Answer:

114.26

Explanation:

a)Formula for per unit impedance for change of base is

Zpu2= Zpu1×(kV1/kV2)²×(kVA2/kVA1)

Zpu2: New per unit impedance

Zpu1: given per unit impedance

kV1: give base voltage

kV2: New bas votlage

kVA1: given bas power

kVA2: new base power

In the question

Zpu2=??

Zpu1= 0.3

kV2=24kV

kV1= 13.8 kV

kVA2= 1MVA ×1000= 1000 kVA

kVA1=500kVA

Zpu2= 0.3(13.8/24)²×(1000/500)

Zpu2= 0.198

b) to find ohmic impedance we will first calculate base value of impedance(Zbase). So,

Zbase= kV²/MVA

  Zbase= 13.8²/(500/1000)

  Zbase=380.88

Now that we have base value of impedance, Zbase, we can calculate actual ohmic value of impedance(Zactual) by using the following formula:

Zpu=Zactual/Zbase

0.3= Zactual/380.88

Zactual= 114.26 ohms

Lord Beckett and members of the EIT Co. spot the Black Pearl in the distance making its way towards land. As a
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cannonball goes a horizontal  distance of 275 m . It travels a vertical distance of 100 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance =  t ,

Initial velocity u = 0

distance s = 100 m

acceleration a = 9.8 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

100 = .5 x 9.8 x t²

t = 4.51 s

During this time it travels horizontally also uniformly so

horizontal velocity Vx = horizontal displacement / time

= 275 / 4.51 = 60.97 m /s

Vertical velocity Vy

Vy = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 4.51

= 44.2 m /s

Resultant velocity

V = √ ( 44.2² + 60.97² )

= √ ( 1953.64 + 3717.34 )

= 75.3 m /s

Angle with horizontal Ф

TanФ = Vy / Vx

= 44.2 / 60.97

= .725

Ф = 36⁰ .

For a fixed amount of gas at a fixed temperature, what will happen if the volume is doubled?.
mash [69]

Answer:

the pressure will decrease by 1/2

Explanation:

PV=nRT

P=(nRT)/(V)

nRT are all constant so they will equal 1

V is 2

P=1/2
