Four identical metallic objects carry the following charges 1.82 6.65 4.80 and 9.30 C The objects are brought simultaneously int
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 5.64 C

b) 3.5*10¹⁹ protons

Explanation:

a)

  • Since the four metallic objects are identical, and total charge must be conserved, this means that after brought simultaneously into contact so that each touches the others, once separated, total charge must be the same than before being brought in contact.
  • But due they are identical, after charges were able to transfer freely between them, the four objects must have the same final charge, i.e. the fourth part of the total charge, as follows:

       Q_{n} = \frac{Q_{tot}}{4} = \frac{22.57C}{4} = 5.64 C  (1)

b)

  • This charge will be divided between n protons, since the charge is positive.
  • Since each proton carries a charge equal to the elementary charge e, which value is 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C, we can find the number of protons in excess, doing the following calculation:
  • n_{p} =\frac{Q_{n}}{e} = \frac{5.64C}{1.6e-19C} = 3.5 e19 C (2)

A motor is used to lift a 10 kg mass 2 m above the ground in 4 s. If the power input to the motor is 100 W. what is the efficien
Bad White [126]

Answer:

98%

Explanation:

Given parameters

Mass of motor = 10kg

Height = 2m

Time = 2s

Power input = 100w

Unknown

Efficiency = ?

Solution

Efficiency is the percentage of the power output to the power input.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Power output = mass x g x height / time

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Power output = 10x 2 x 9.8 / 2 = 98W

Efficiency = power output/ power input x 100

Efficiency = 98/100 x 100 = 98%

A person pulls a crate of mass M = 63 kg a distance 40.0 m along a horizontal floor by a constant force FP = 130 N, which acts a
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Check attachment for solution and diagrams

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of crate m=63kg

Distance travelled d=40m

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Angle the force applied on cord makes with horizontal is θ=23°.

The weight of the crate is given by

W=mg

W=63×9.81

W=618.03N

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Resolving the applied Force F to the horizontal will give

Fx=FCos θ

F=Fx/Cos θ

F=130/Cos23

F=141.2N

a. Check attachment for model diagram

b. Check attachment for free body diagram

c. Check attachment for pictorial representation

d. Work done by gravitational force.

We, know that the body did not move upward, then the distance d=0

Work done is given as

W=F×d

So, d=0

W=F×0

W=0J

So, no work is done by gravity

e. Normal force?

Using newton law of motion

ΣFy = may

Since the body is not moving upward, then ay=0m/s²

N+141.2Sin23-618.03=0

N=618.03-141.2Sin23

N=562.86N

f. Work done by normal force.

The body is not moving upward, then the distance is zero

d=0

Work done by normal=normal force × distance

Wn=562.86×0

Wn=0J

No work is done by the normal force

g. Frictional force?

Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is zero, then the surface is frictionless

So, no frictional force is acting on the body

Fictional force is given as

Fr=μk•N

Given that, μk=0

Fr=0×562.86

Fr=0N

d. Work done by frictional force?

Since the frictional force Is zero, then, no work is done by friction

W(friction ) = frictional force × d

Here, the body moved a distance of 40m

W(fr)=0×40

W(fr)=0J

No work is done by friction

I. Work done by exerted force

The horizontal component of the exerted force is 130N and the body traveled a distance of 40m

Then, work done is given as

Workdone=force ×distance

Work done=130×40

W=5200J

W=5.2KJ

h. Net workdone?

Since no work is lost by friction, then, the net work done is equal to the work done by the exerted force.

Went, = work done by force exerted - work done by friction

Wnet=5200-0

Wnet, =5200

Wnet=5.2KJ

Calculate the percentage increase in speed of the cyclist when the power output changes from 200 W to 300 W.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em>50%</em>

Explanation:

Given

Initial power = 200W

Final power = 300W

Increment = 300 - 200 = 100W

percentage increase = increment/initial power * 100

percentage increase = 100/200 * 100%

percentage increase = 0.5 * 100

percentage increase = 50%

<em>Hence the percentage increase in speed is 50%</em>
