A robot is exploring​ charon, the dwarf planet​ pluto's largest moon. Gravity on charon is 0.278 meters per second ​[m divided b

y s squared​]. During its​ investigations, the robot picks up a small spherical rock for inspection. The rock has a diameter of 6 centimeters​ [cm] and is lifted 15 centimeters​ [cm] above the surface. The specific gravity of the rock is 10.8. The mechanism lifting the rock is powered by a 10​-volt ​[v] power supply and draws 1.83 milliamperes​ [ma] of current. It requires 12 seconds​ [s] to perform this lifting task. What is the efficiency of the​ robot

In order to find the efficiency first we will find the Change in Potential energy of the small stone that robot picked up

First we will find the mass of the stone

As it is given that stone is spherical in shape so first we will find its volume

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi *(\frac{0.06}{2})^3

V = 1.13 * 10^{-4} m^3

Now it is given that it's specific gravity is 10.8

So density of rock is

\rho = 10.8 * 10^3 kg/m^3

mass of the stone will be

m = \rho V

m = 10.8* 10^3 * 1.13 * 10^{-4}

m = 1.22 kg

now change in potential energy is given as

\Delta U = mgH

here

g = gravity on planet = 0.278 m/s^2

H = height lifted upwards = 15 cm

\Delta U = 1.22* 0.278 * 0.15

\Delta U = 0.051 J

Now energy supplied by internal circuit of robot is given by

E = Vit

V = voltage supplied = 10 V

i = current = 1.83 mA

t = time = 12 s

E = 10* 1.83 * 10^{-3} * 12

E = 0.22 J

Now efficiency is defined as the ratio of output work with given amount of energy used

\eta = \frac{\Delta U}{E}*100

\eta = \frac{0.051}{0.22} = 0.23

so efficiency will be 23 %

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

255 Hz

Explanation:

With 5 beats per second with the 250 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 250 - 5 = 245Hz or 250 + 5 = 255 Hz

With 15 beats per second with the 270 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 270 - 15 = 255Hz or 270 + 15 = 285 Hz (most people would have a hard time discerning 15 beats per second... 5 per second is hard enough)

As 255 is the common frequency, it is the one selected.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine can't be more than 1, so I assume you mean 40%.  (Remember, efficiency and mechanical advantage are not the same).

Efficiency is the ratio of work out of a system to the work in to the system.

e = Wout / Win

Work is force times distance, so:

e = (Fout × Dout) / (Fin × Din)

Rearranging:

Fin = (Fout × Dout) / (e × Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) × (Dout / Din)

Fin = (Fout / e) / (Din / Dout)

We know that e = 0.40, and Fout = 120 N.  Since there are 6 pulleys, we also know that Din/Dout = 6.

F = (120 N / 0.4) / 6

F = 50 N

In free fall, the ___________ of velocity of the object changes
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction which acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Hence, in free fall, the magnitude and direction of velocity of the object changes.
