Show that 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h . Hint: Show the explicit steps involved in converting 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h.

1 answer:

5 0

Just multiply the "1.0 m/s" by ' 1 ' a few times. (Remember that a fraction with the same quantity on top and bottom is equal to ' 1 ' .)

(1.0 m/sec) · (1 km/1000 m) · (60 sec/min) · (60 min/hr) =

(1.0 · 60 · 60 / 1,000) (m · km · sec · min / sec · m · min · hr) =

(3,600 / 1,000) (km / hr) =

3.6 km/hr .

Which of the following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy?

SVEN [57.7K]

By definition, the law of conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Where,

Ei: initial energy

Ef: final energy

Therefore, no matter the type of energy, always the final energy is equal to the final energy.

Energy can be transformed into another type of energy. For example, the potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.

Also, energy is not created, nor destroyed.

Answer:

The following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy:

A. It states that the total energy in the universe keeps increasing.

What should be angle between force and displacement to get the maximum work

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: The angle between force and displacement should be θ = 90° for minimum work. The angle between force and displacement should be θ = 0° for maximum work.

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius r = 13.62 cm and mass 1.199 kg that is attached

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for time period of a pendulum is as follows

T = $2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

l is length of pendulum from centre of bob and g is acceleration due to gravity

Given

Time period T = 1.583

g = 9.846

Substituting the values

1.583 = $2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.846} }$

l = $\frac{(1.583)^2\times9.846}{4\times(\frac{22}{7})^2 }$

l = .6244 m

= 62.44 cm

Length of rod = length of pendulum - radius of bob

= 62.44 - 13.62

= 48.82 cm

= .488 m

A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 448 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 10.9 kg is attache

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the extension in the spring be x .

restoring force = weight of block

kx = mg

x = $\frac{10.9\times9.8}{448}$

= 23.84 cm

b )

When the elevator is going upwards

Restoring force = mg + ma

k x₁ = 10.9 ( 9.8 + 1.89 )

x₁ = 28.44 cm

( y coordinate will be - ( 28.44 - 23.84 ) = - 4.6 cm )

c ) When the cable snaps , both elevator and block undergo free fall . In this case apparent g = 0

Since the spring is stretched by 28.44 cm , a restoring force continues to act on the block which is equal to

.2844 x 448

= 127.41 N

So a net acceleration a will act on the block

a = 127.41 / 10.9

= 11.68 m / s²

The block will undergo SHM with amplitude equal to 28.44 cm .
