How can you determine the amount of work done on an object? (joules, work, power...etc.)

1 answer:

7 0

Work done is equal to force by distance; so you take the force exerted, in newtons, and multiply that by the direction it's moved (from the starting point in a line, not along the path it's taken.)

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?

Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.

What is power, and what is its relationship to voltage and amperage?

kvasek [131]

The relationship between amperage, voltage, and power is that power equals the amperage quantity times the amount of voltage.

Power: is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin

astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

$v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0$

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

$v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph$

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

$v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph$

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph$

Four different resistors have various amounts of electric current flowing through them. Given the values of current I and resist

Artemon [7]

You did not provide the options. However, the options are

I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

I = 9.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 3.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

Answer:

The order of the resistors from the highest to the lowest is:

I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

I = 9.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 3.0, R= 2.0 ohms

Explanation:

ohm's law states that voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. V = IR

Based on this formula, the voltages in each of the resistors are calculated below from the highest to the lowest

For I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

V = 8 * 8 =64 volts

For I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

V = 6 * 4 =24 volts

For I = 9.0, R= 2.0 ohms

V = 9 * 2 =18 volts

For I = 3.0, R= 2.0 ohms

V = 3 * 2 =6 volts
