A can of tuna, starting from rest, is dropped off a building. If it is only being pulled down by gravity (-9.8 m/s2) and it hits

Answer:

<h3>50.23m</h3>

Explanation:

The distance talks about how far an object has travelled.

Given

9 = -9.8m/s²

t = 3.2s

to get the distance Δx, we will use the formula;

S = ut+1/2gt²

S = 0(3.2)+1/2(-9.8)(3.2)²

S = 0-4.905(10.24)

S = -50.23m

Hence the can of tuna drop by 50.23m

When you push a child on a swing, your action is most effective when your pushes are timed to coincide with the natural frequenc
OleMash [197]

Answer:

T = 4.48 s

we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

Explanation:

Natural frequency of a simple pendulum of L length is given as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}

so the time period of the oscillation is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

so we will have

L = 5 m

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{9.81}}

T = 4.48 s

also from above formula we can see that this time period is independent of the mass of the child so answer would be same if the child mass is different

a wire carries 15 A. You form it into a singleturn circular loop with magnetic field 80 µT at the loop center. What is the loop
solong [7]
Use the formula B(at the center)= (4 pi * 10^(-7) ) * I (current)   / ( 2 radius)
and you will get the answer that will be 6.

Can anyone please explain this point with an example. I have presentation tomorrow.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

Efficiency is a way of describing the amount of useful ​output​ a process or machine can generate as a percentage of the ​input​ required to make it go. In other words, it compares how much energy is used to do work versus how much is lost or wasted to the environment. The more efficient the machine, the less energy wasted.

For example, if a heat engine is able to turn 75 percent of the fuel it receives into motion, while 25 percent is lost as heat in the process, it would be 75 percent efficient. Out of the original 100 percent of the fuel, 75 percent was output as useful work.  

the equation:

energy efficiency =useful output energy/total input energy

What is the change in electric potential energy in moving an electron from a location 3 × 10-10 m from a proton to a location 7
joja [24]

Answer:

4.39 x 10^-19 J

Explanation:

q1 = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

q2 = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

r1 = 3 x 10^-10 m

r2 = 7 x 10^-10 m

The formula for the potential energy is given by

U1 = k q1 q2 / r1 = - (9 x 10^9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (3 x 10^-10)

U1 = - 7.68 x 10^-19 J

U2 = k q1 q2 / r2 = - (9 x 10^9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (7 x 10^-10)

U2 = - 3.29 x 10^-19 J

Change in potential energy is

U2 - U1 = - 3.29 x 10^-19 + 7.68 x 10^-19 = 4.39 x 10^-19 J

A water pump draws about 9 A when connected to 240 V. What is the cost (with electrical energy at 13 cents per kWh) of running t
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.49 dollars

Explanation:

i = 9 A, V = 240 V, t = 16 h

Energy = V x i x t = 240 x 9 x 16 = 34560 W h = 34.56 kWh

The cost of 1 kWh is 13 cents.

Cost of 34.56 kWh = 13 x 34.56 = 449.28 cents = 449.28 / 100 = 4.49 dollars
