1.How is the law of conservation of energy demonstrated by the movement of the pendulum?

1 answer:

6 0

1. Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, for example, windmills take kinetic energy(movement energy) and convert it into electrical energy using gears and a generator as well as the blades.

so this supports it because the pendulum never reaches the same height twice unless you reset it so the energy is always getting less and less and not randomly getting back onto the pendulum.

2.Gravity, friction and air resistance slow it down as well

3. at the top, potential energy is the amount of energy something has relative to the amount it can disperse before stopping, for example, a book on a shelf has more potential energy than that of a book on a table, this is because when the shelf book falls it will create more energy than the table book.

If distance between two charges increased by 2 times then force

kati45 [8]

Explanation:

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.

An ideal heat engine absorbs 97.2 kJ of heat and exhausts 83.8 kJ of heat in each cycle. What is the efficiency of the engine?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by the engine = 97.2 kJ

Heat exhausted by the engine in each cycle = 83.8 kJ

We need to find the efficiency of the engine. It is calculated by the formula.

$\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_e}{Q_a}\\\\=1-\dfrac{83.8}{97.2}\\\\=0.137\\\\=13.7\%$

so, the efficiency of heat engine is 13.7%.

The position x, in meters, of an object is given by the equation:

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The SI units of A, B and C are :

$m,\ m/s\ and\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The position x, in meters, of an object is given by the equation:

$x=A+Bt+Ct^2$

Where

t is time in seconds

We know that the unit of x is meters, such that the units of A, Bt and $Ct^2$ must be meters. So,

$A=m$

$bt=m$

$b=\dfrac{m}{s}=m/s$

$Ct^2=m$

$C=m/s^2$

So, the SI units of A, B and C are :

$m,\ m/s\ and\ m/s^2$

So, the correct option is (B).

A patient has an order for a drug to be infused at the rate of 5 mcg/kg/min. A 500 ml bag contains 250 mg of the drug and the pa

enot [183]

The flow rate is 17gtts/min.

<h3>What is the drug infusion rate?</h3>

The rate of infusion (or dosing rate) in pharmacokinetics refers to the ideal rate at which a drug should be supplied to achieve a steady state of a fixed dose that has been shown to be therapeutically effective. This rate is not only the rate at which a drug is administered.
The infusion volume is divided into drops, which is known as a drip-rate. The Drip Rate formula is as follows: Volume (mL) times time (h) equals drip-rate. A patient must get 1,000 mL of intravenous fluids over the course of eight hours.
Infusion rates of 3–4 mg/kg per minute are advised by manufacturers to reduce rate-related adverse effects. Usually, the infusion lasts for several hours. Although not advised, rates exceeding 5 mg/kg per hour may be tolerated by some patients.
If no negative reactions occur, the rate may be increased in accordance with the table every 30 minutes up to a maximum rate of 3 ml/kg/hour (not to exceed 150 ml/hour).

To find the flow rate is 17gtts/min:

$\frac{18 units}{h} \frac{100ml}{100units} \frac{500ml}{250mg} \frac{1mg}{1000mgc} \frac{20gtts}{ml} =\frac{17gtts}{min}$
