Answer:

= 54,000 Joules or 54 kJ

Explanation:

Electrical energy is given by the formula;

E = VIt; where V is the potential difference in volts, I is the current and t is the time in seconds.

Therefore;

Electrical energy = 120 V × 0.50 A × 15 ×60 seconds

                            = 54,000 Joules

Thus; the electrical energy is 54,000 joules or 54 kJ

A car is traveling at vx = 30 m/s . The driver applies the brakes and the car decelerates at ax = -5.0 m/s2 . What is the stoppi
____ [38]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

We use an ecuation of uniformly accelerated motion, which allows us to find the distance traveled by the car from the moment that driver applies the brakes until it stops completely, that is, when its final speed is zero.

v_{f}^2=v_{o}^2+2ad

We isolate the variable d, knowing that the final speed v_{f} is zero

d=\frac{-v_{o}^2}{2a}\\d=\frac{-(30m/s)^2}{2(-5m/s^2)}=90 m

How fast can the 140 a current through a 0.200 h inductor be shut off if the induced emf cannot exceed 80.0 v?
Vesna [10]
Recall that to compute for the emf of a circuit given current and inductance, we must recall that 

emf = - M \frac{\Delta I }{\Delta t}

where I is the current (A), M is the mutual inductance (h), and t is the time (ms). Since the current must not exceed 80.0 V, we have

80.0 \geq 0.200(\frac{140}{t})
t \geq \frac{28.0}{80}
t \geq 0.35

From this, we see that it must take at least 0.35 ms so it doesn't exceed 80 V.
Answer: 0.35 ms

Bob is studying waves in science and learns that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplit
Mrrafil [7]
For a simple harmonic motion energy is given with:
E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2
Where k is a constant that depends on the type of the wave you are looking at and A is amplitude.
Let's calculate the energy of the wave using two different amplitudes given in the problem:
E_1=\frac{1}{2}k(1)^2=\frac{1}{2}k\\E_2=\frac{1}{2}k(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}k=2k\\
We can see that energy associated with the wave is 4 times smaller when we decrease its amplitude by half. So the answer should be C.

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.
Whitepunk [10]

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.
