What do we mean when we say that 50 million tons of coal could replace the use of 0.6 MBPD (million barrels per day) of oil used

over a year?

<span>This statement simply implies that the 50 million tons of coal will produce the same energy output in one year as the 0.6 million barrels per day of oil. Assuming coal is more plentiful than oil, this is significant as 50 million tons is much smaller than 219 million barrels of oil.</span>

With what velocity Must a 0.53 kg softball be moving to be equal to the momentum of a 0.31 kg baseball moving at 21 m/s
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:12.28m/s

Explanation:

momentum of baseball =mass of baseball x velocity of baseball

Momentum of baseball =0.31x21

Momentum of baseball =6.51kgm/s

For a softball to have same momentum with the baseball we can say :momentum of baseball =mass of softball x velocity of softball

6.51=0.53 x velocity of softball

Velocity of softball =6.51/0.53

Velocity of softball =12.28m/s

A ruby laser delivers a 16.0-ns pulse of 4.20-MW average power. If the photons have a wavelength of 694.3 nm, how many are conta
stepan [7]

Answer:

The  value is  n  =  2.347 *10^{17} \  photons

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  amount of power delivered is  P  =  4.20 \  M W  =  4.20  *10^{6} \  W

      The  time taken is  t =  16.0ns  =  16.0 *10^{-9} \  s

       The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  694.3 \  nm =  694.3 *10^{-9} \  m

     

Generally the energy delivered is  mathematically represented as

     E  =  P  * t  =  \frac{n  *  h  *  c  }{\lambda }

Where  h is the Planck's constant with value  h  =  6.262  *10^{-34} \  J \cdot  s

           c  is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0*10^{8} \  m/s

     

So  

    4.20 *10^{6}  *  16*10^{-9}=  \frac{n  *  6.626 *10^{-34}  *  3.0*10^{8}  }{694.3 *10^{-9}}

=>    n  =  2.347 *10^{17} \  photons

A long cylindrical insulating shell has an inner radius of a = 1.41 m and an outer radius of b = 1.67 m. The shell has a constan
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a. E = 122.4 N/C

b. E = 58.2 N/C

c. E = 0

Explanation:

The electric field at an arbitrary point away from the axis of the cylinder can found by applying Gauss’ Law, which states that an electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by this surface divided by electric permittivity.

In order to apply this law, we have to draw an imaginary cylindrical surface of arbitrary height ‘h’ and radius ‘r’, which is equal to the point where the E-field is asked.

A. For the outside of the cylinder, we will draw our imaginary surface with r = 1.97.

E2\pi rh = \frac{\lambda V}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\lambda \pi (b^2 - a^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi (1.97)h = \frac{(5.3\times 10^{-9})\pi(1.67^2 - 1.41^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = 122.4~N/C

B. This time our imaginary surface should be inside the cylinder, therefore the enclosed charge will be less than that of part A.

E2\pi rh = \frac{\lambda V_{enc}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\lambda \pi (r^2 - a^2}h{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi (1.51)h = \frac{5.3\times 10^{-9})\pi(1.51^2 - 1.41^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = 58.2~N/C

C. In this case our imaginary surface will be inside the cylinder, where there is no charge at all. Therefore, the enclosed charge will be zero and the electric field will be zero.

A conveyer belt moves a 40 kg at a velocity of 2/ms what is the kinetic energy of the box while it is on the conveyor belt
CaHeK987 [17]
KE = (1/2)·(mass)·(speed)²

It doesn't matter whether the object is in a car, on a boat, 
falling, on a conveyor belt, or being carried by ants.

KE = (1/2)·(40 kg)·(2 m/s)²

KE = (20 kg)·(4 m²/s²)

KE = 80 kg-m²/s²

KE = 80 Joules
