Joule. Joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre. Named in honour of the English physicist James Prescott Joule, it equals 107 ergs, or approximately 0.7377 foot-pounds

One joule is defined as the amount of energy exerted when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter. One joule is the equivalent of one watt of power radiated or dissipated for one second. In some applications, the British thermal unit (Btu) is used to express energy.

The joule has base units of kg·m²/s² = N·m. A joule is defined as the work done or energy required to exert a force of one newton for a distance of one metre

n equation form: work (joules) = force (newtons) x distance (meters), where a joule is the unit of work, as defined in the following paragraph. In practical terms, even a small force can do a lot of work if it is exerted over a long distance.

Multiply watts by seconds to get joules.

A 1 Watt device consumes 1 Joule of energy every 1 second. If you multiply the number of watts by the number of seconds, you'll end up with joules. To find out how much energy a 60W light bulb consumes in 120 seconds, simply multiply (60 watts) x (120 seconds) = 7200 Joules.

Electrons have - charge .

So two protons (A) or two electrons (D) push apart.

In a game of angry birds you launch a bird with an angle of 53 degrees to horizontal. Unfortunatly, its not a good shot and the

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

The horizontal distance covered is 9.81 m.

The total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

Explanation:

The launch speed, $u_0= 10 m/s$ .

Angle of launch with the horizontal, $\theta = 53 ^{\circ}$

So, the vertical component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\sin\theta=10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}\cdots(i)$ .

The horizontal component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\cos\theta=10 \cos 53 ^{\circ}$

Let, t be the time of flight, to the horizontal distance covered

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})t\cdots(ii)$ .

Not, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

$s= ut +\frac 1 2 at^2$

Where s is the displacement in time t, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

In this case, $u =10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}$ (from equation (i), s=0 (as the final height is same as the launch height) and $a = -9.81 m/s^2$ (negative sign is due to the downward direction).

$\Rightarrow 0 = 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})t-\frac 1 2 (9.81)t^2$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac {2\times 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})}{9.81}=1.63$ seconds.

So, the total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

From equation (i),

Total horizontal distance covered is

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})\times 1.63 = 9.81 m$ .

Now, for the maximum height, H, applying the equation of motion as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, v is the final velocity and v=0 (at the maximum height), and h=H.

So, $0^2=(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2-2(9.81)H$

$\Rightarrow H = \frac {(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2}{2\times 9.81}$

$\Rightarrow H = 3.25 m$ .

Hence, the maximum height covered is 3.25 m.
