Calculate the potential energy at the top of the giant drop if the car weights 1000 kg

1 answer:

6 0

The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters). That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.

You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body

A) The change in internal chemical energy is $1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

$P=Fv$

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

$P=(80)(8.0)=640 W$

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

$t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s$ is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

$E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J$

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

$\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

From the previous part, we found that in a time of

t = 30 min

the amount of internal chemical energy converted is

$E=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

Here we want to find the time t' needed to convert an amount of chemical energy of

$E'=3.8\cdot 10^5 J$

So we can setup the following proportion:

$\frac{t}{E}=\frac{t'}{E'}$

And solving for t',

$t'=\frac{E't}{E}=\frac{(3.8\cdot 10^5)(30)}{1.15\cdot 10^7}=1 min$

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.

Is the 3 in the molecule a coefficient, subscript, or element? 3H₂O₂

JulijaS [17]

coefficient

Let's look at the 3 possibilities and see what they are for 3H₂O₂ coefficient - This is used to indicate that multiple molecules are used for the formula. In 3H₂O₂ that indicates that we are talking about 3 molecules of H₂O₂ subscript - This is a small number set in a smaller font and placed low to the elements. It indicates the number of each type of atom in the compound. For the formula 3H₂O₂ there are 2 subscripts. Both of them being the number "2" set small and low just after the letters H and O. Those subscripts indicate that there are 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms per molecule. element - This is the abbreviation for the elements used in the compound. In 3H₂O₂ there are 2 different elements. H to indicate hydrogen, and O to indicate oxygen.

A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

8.1 x 10^13 electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours.

Explanation:

The total charge accumulated in 1.8 hours will be:

Total Charge = I x t = (-2.0 nC/s)(1.8 hrs)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Total Charge = - 12960 nC = - 12.96 x 10^(-6) C

Since, the charge on one electron is e = - 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

Therefore, no. of electrons will be:

No. of electrons = Total Charge/Charge on one electron

No. of electrons = [- 12.96 x 10^(-6) C]/[- 1.6 x 10^(-19) C]

No. of electrons = 8.1 x 10^13 electrons
