Answer: 3217.79 hours.

Explanation:

Given, A 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft).

Power = 0.4 watt

Mass of climber = 140 lb

= 140 x 0.4535 kg  [∵ 1 lb= 0.4535 kg]

⇒ Mass of climber (m) = 63.50 kg

Let h_1=29,029\ ft= 8848.04\ m\ \ \ \  [ 1 ft=0.3048\ m ] and h_2= 4,600 ft = 1402.08\ m

Now, Energy saved =mg(h_1-h_2)=(63.50)(9.8)(8848.04-1402.08)=4633620.91\ J

\text{Power}=\dfrac{\text{energy}}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.4=\dfrac{4633620.91}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{time}=\dfrac{4633620.91}{0.4}\approx11584052.28\text{ seconds}\\\\=\dfrac{11584052.28}{3600}\text{ hours}\ \ \ [\text{1 hour = 3600 seconds}]\\\\=3217.79\text{ hours}

Hence, she can power her 0.4 watt flashlight for 3217.79 hours.

A electric heater that draws 13.5 a of dc current has been left on for 10 min. how many electrons that have passed through the h
kicyunya [14]
By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit  of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:

13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C 

Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons

Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.

Natalija [7]

Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

A 20 kg truck drives in a circle of radius 4 m at 10m/s. What is the centripetal acceleration of the truck?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

B. 25 m/s/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of curvature.

a = v² / r

Given v = 10 m/s and r = 4 m:

a = (10 m/s)² / 4 m

a = 25 m/s²
