Which of the following has the greatest amount of kinetic energy a)slice of pizza b)a person at the top of the stairs c)wind d)a

Talja [164]

Answer:

c)wind

Explanation:

Wind from the given choices will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body. It is different from the energy at rest in a body.

Wind is air in motion.
Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy in motion.

A book on a table, a slice of pizza and a person at the top of the stairs are all at rest and will possess potential energy.

You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and

galina1969 [7]

The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

Brayden and Riku now use their skills to work a problem. Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and

Liono4ka [1.6K]

a) $5 \Omega$ , 1.6 A

b) $6 \Omega$ , 1.33 A

Explanation:

In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:

$R=R_1+R_2$

where

$R_1=4\Omega$

$R_2=1 \Omega$

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

$R=4+1=5 \Omega$

Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

$R=5\Omega$ is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

Substituting,

$I=\frac{8}{5}=1.6 A$

The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.

In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is

$R=R_1+R_2+R_3$

where:

$R_1=4\Omega\\R_2=1\Omega\\R_3=1\Omega$

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

$R=4+1+1=6 \Omega$

Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

$R=6\Omega$ is the equivalent resistance

Substituting,

$I=\frac{8}{6}=1.33 A$

And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.
