Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

1 answer:

5 0

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

What is the available energy content, in joules, of a battery that operates a 2.00-W electric clock for 18 months

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

93312000 Joules

Explanation:

Energy can be explained as the capacity for doing work. And can be expressed as

E= pt....................eqn(1)

Where

E= Energy in Joules

P= power in Watt= 2.00W

t= time in seconds

Time= 18 months, which can be converted to "seconds" as;

18 months = [ 18 monthsx 30 days x 24 hours x 60 min x 60 sec] = 46656000

Then

time= 46656000 seconds

Power=2 watt

If we substitute into equation (1) we have

Energy = 2 watt × 46656000 seconds

Energy= 93312000 Joules

A device called an insolation meter is used to measure the intensity of sunlight. It has an area of 100 cm2 and registers 6.50 W

labwork [276]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of the sunlight is expressed as I = Power/cross sectional area. It is measured in W/m²

Given parameters

Power rating = 6.50Watts

Cross sectional area = 100cm²

Before we calculate the intensity, we need to convert the area to m² first.

100cm² = 10cm * 10cm

SInce 100cm = 1m

10cm = (10/100)m

10cm = 0.1m

100cm² = 0.1m * 0.1m = 0.01m²

Area (in m²) = 0.01m²

Required

Intensity of the sunlight I

I = P/A

I = 6.5/0.01

I = 650W/m²

Hence, the intensity of the sunlight in W/m² is 650W/m²

A 70 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.35 m/s. He slides so that his speed is zero j

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer

given,

Mass of the runner, M = 70 Kg

speed of the runner on the second base = 4.35 m/s

speed at the base = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.8 m/s²

a) magnitude of mechanical energy lost

Mechanical energy lost is equal top gain in kinetic energy

$ME_{Lost}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$ME_{Lost}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 70\times 4.35^2$

$ME_{Lost}=662.29\ J$

b) Work done = Force x displacement

W = F. x

F = μ mg

W = μ mg . x

Work done is equal to 662.29 J

$x=\dfrac{W}{\mu m g}$

using the coefficient of the friction,μ = 0.7

$x=\dfrac{662.29}{ 0.7\times 70\times 9.8}$

x = 1.38 m

Hence, the runner will slide to 1.38 m.
