Nataly [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

0.24

Explanation:

Mass of ball= 12g=0.012Kg

height of ball= 2.5m

velocity of ball before falling= 3.2m/s

potential energy of the ball=mgh= 0.012*10*2.5=0.3J

kinetic energy of the ball=0.5*mv^{2}=0.5*0.012*3.2*3.2=0.6J

Loss in mechanical energy during the fall= potential energy- Kinetic energy= 0.3-0.06=0.24J

note: During the fall, the potential energy of the ball is converted to kinetic energy. the loss in energy is due to air resistance.

The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 854 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for t
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The distance from the radio station is 0.28 light years away.

Solution:

As per the question:

Distance, d = 4 ly

Frequency of the radio station, f = 854 kHz = 854\times 10^{3}\ Hz

Power, P = 50 kW = 50\times 10^{3}\ W

I_{p} = 1\ photon/s/m^{2}

Now,

From the relation:

P = nhf

where

n = no. of photons/second

h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

Now,

n = \frac{P}{hf} = \frac{50\times 10^{3}}{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 854\times 10^{3}} = 8.836\times 10^{31}\ photons/s

Area of the sphere, A = 4\pi r^{2}

Now,

Suppose the distance from the radio station be 'r' from where the intensity of the photon is 1\ photon/s/m^{2}

I_{p} = \frac{n}{A} = \frac{n}{4\pi r^{2}}

1 = \frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^{2}}

r = \sqrt{\frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}} = 2.65\times 10^{15}\ m

Now,

We know that:

1 ly = 9.4607\times 10^{15}\ m

Thus

r = \frac{2.65\times 10^{15}}{9.4607\times 10^{15}} = 0.28\ ly

(1) find the density of a substance if the mass of the substance is 150kg and dimension 20mby10mby5m
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

0.15kg/m³

Explanation:

Density = mass/ volume

Given that

Mass = 150kg

Note that volume = length x breadth x height

Volume = 20 x 10 x 5

Volume = 1000m³

Density = mass ➗ volume

Density = 150kg ➗ 1000m³

Density = 0.15kg/m³

Explain how polarization of a cell increases the cell's internal resistance.<br>(2<br>2.​
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation: The chemical action that occurs in the cell while the current is flowing causes hydrogen bubbles to form on the surface of the anode. This action is called POLARIZATION. Some hydrogen bubbles rise to the surface of the electrolyte and escape into the air, some remain on the surface of the anode. If enough bubbles remain around the anode, the bubbles form a barrier that increases internal resistance. When the internal resistance of the cell increases, the output current is decreased and the voltage of the cell also decreases.

   A cell that is heavily polarized has no useful output. There are several methods to prevent polarization or to depolarize the cell.

   One method uses a vent on the cell to permit the hydrogen to escape into the air. A disadvantage of this method is that hydrogen is not available to reform into the electrolyte during recharging. This problem is solved by adding water to the electrolyte, such as in an automobile battery. A second method is to use material that is rich in oxygen, such as manganese dioxide, which supplies free oxygen to combine with the hydrogen and form water.

   A third method is to use a material that will absorb the hydrogen, such as calcium. The calcium releases hydrogen during the charging process. All three methods remove enough hydrogen so that the cell is practically free from polarization.

LOCAL ACTION

   When the external circuit is removed, the current ceases to flow, and, theoretically, all chemical action within the cell stops. However, commercial zinc contains many impurities, such as iron, carbon, lead, and arsenic. These impurities form many small electrical cells within the zinc electrode in which current flows between the zinc and its impurities. Thus, the chemical action continues even though the cell itself is not connected to a load.

   Local action may be prevented by using pure zinc (which is not practical), by coating the zinc with mercury, or by adding a small percentage of mercury to the zinc during the manufacturing process. The treatment of the zinc with mercury is called amalgamating (mixing) the zinc. Since mercury is many times heavier than an equal volume of water, small particles of impurities weighing less than mercury will float to the surface of the mercury. The removal of these impurities from the zinc prevents local action. The mercury is not readily acted upon by the acid. When the cell is delivering current to a load, the mercury continues to act on the impurities in the zinc. This causes the impurities to leave the surface of the zinc electrode and float to the surface of the mercury. This process greatly increases the storage life of the cell.

A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The tensions in T_{BC} is approximately 4,934.2 lb and the tension in T_{BD} is approximately  6,035.7 lb

Explanation:

The given information are;

The angle formed by the two rope segments are;

The angle, Φ, formed by rope segment BC with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 26.0°

The angle, θ, formed by rope segment BD with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 21.0°

Therefore, we have;

The tension in rope segment BC = T_{BC}

The tension in rope segment BD = T_{BD}

The tension in rope segment AB = T_{AB} = Pulling force of tugboat = 1200 lb

By resolution of forces acting along the line A_F gives;

T_{BC} × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = T_{AB} = 1200 lb

T_{BC} × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb............(1)

Similarly, we have for equilibrium, the sum of the forces acting perpendicular to tow cable = 0, therefore, we have;

T_{BC} × sin(26.0°) + T_{BD} × sin(21.0°) = 0...........................(2)

Which gives;

T_{BC} × sin(26.0°) = - T_{BD} × sin(21.0°)

T_{BC} = - T_{BD} × sin(21.0°)/(sin(26.0°))  ≈ - T_{BD} × 0.8175

Substituting the value of, T_{BC}, in equation (1), gives;

- T_{BD} × 0.8175 × cos(26.0°) + T_{BD} × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb

- T_{BD} × 0.7348  + T_{BD} ×0.9336 = 1200 lb

T_{BD} ×0.1988 = 1200 lb

T_{BD} ≈ 1200 lb/0.1988 = 6,035.6938 lb

T_{BD} ≈ 6,035.6938 lb

T_{BC} ≈ - T_{BD} × 0.8175 = 6,035.6938 × 0.8175 = -4934.1733 lb

T_{BC} ≈ -4934.1733 lb

From which we have;

The tensions in T_{BC} ≈ -4934.2 lb and  T_{BD} ≈ 6,035.7 lb.
