Light year is a unit of measure of time that makes use of the speed of light and distance between objects to determine the number of years it will take for the light to travel. We can determine what element the object is made up of by the wavelength of the color.

The magnitude E of an electric field depends on the radial distance r according to E = A/r4, where A is a constant with unit vol
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

\Delta V = 0.053 A

Explanation:

Electric field in a given region is given by equation

E = \frac{A}{r^4}

as we know the relation between electric field and potential difference is given as

\Delta V = -\int E. dr

so here we have

\Delta V = - \int (\frac{A}{r^4}) .dr

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3r_1^3} - \frac{A}{3r_2^3}

here we know that

r_1 = 1.71 m  and r_2 = 2.89 m

so we will have

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3}(\frac{1}{1.71^3} - \frac{1}{2.89^3})

so we will have

\Delta V = 0.053 A

A model plane has a mass of 0.75 kg and is flying 12 m above the ground
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option C. 210 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12

PE = 88.2 J

Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324

KE = 121.5 J

Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

ME = PE + KE

ME = 88.2 + 121.5

ME = 209.7 J

ME ≈ 210 J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy and also some thermal energy. The amount of electrical energy is 50 Jo
Kitty [74]
If the amount of electrical energy is 50 Joules before the conversions, then it would be 50 Joules after the conversion.

According to law of conservation of energy, we cannot create or destroy energy so it remains constant

Hope this helps!
