Answer: He would reach 7m/s at the distance of 17,5m.

Explanation: In order for us to know how long it takes for the speed to be reached, we use the equation V= Vo + at, with V=7m/s, Vo= 0m/s since you start from rest and a=1.4m/s². T is the time in seconds that we want to find out.

7 = 0 + 1.4t

7 = 1.4t

t= 5s

Now, we want to know the distance this boy reaches in 5 seconds, in a 7m/s speed and accelarating in 1.4m/s². For finding this out, we use another equation, S = So + Vot + (at²)/2, S being the final distance, So = 0m because he started from rest, and the other variables used before.

S = 0 + 0*5 + [1.4*(5²)]/2

S = 0 + 0 + (1.4*25)/2

S = 35/2

S = 17,5m

To what potential should you charge a 3.0 μf capacitor to store 1.0 j of energy?

Nimfa-mama [501]

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
$U= \frac{1}{2}CV^2$
where
U is the energy
C is the capacitance
V is the potential difference

The capacitor in this problem has capacitance
$C=3.0 \mu F = 3.0 \cdot 10^{-6} F$
So if we re-arrange the previous equation, we can calculate the potential V that should be applied to the capacitor to store U=1.0 J of energy on it:
$V= \sqrt{ \frac{2U}{C} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 1.0 J}{3.0 \cdot 10^{-6}F} }=816 V$

The acceleration of a block attached to a spring is given by a=−(0.324m/s2)cos([2.50rad/s]t) a = − ( 0.324 m / s 2 ) c o s ( [ 2

allsm [11]

Answer:

Looks like you have:

a = -.324 cos 2.5 t

In this case ω^2 A = .324

ω = 2.5

f = ω / (2 * pi) = 2.5 / 6.28 = .40 / sec

1. Predict whether the energy required to remove an electron from magnesium and potassium would be more or less than that requir

Inga [223]

In both cases less energy is required

But comparetively Mg require more energy than K

Let's see the electron configuration of Both

[Mg]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²=[Ne]3s²
[K]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹=[Ar]4s¹

K has only one valence electron so very less ionization enthalpy so less energy required

Mg has 2 so more IE hence more energy required

What is being transferred as you do work? A. Energy B. Power C. Heat D. Strength

r-ruslan [8.4K]

$\huge\bold{\purple{\bold{⚡A. Energy⚡}}}$

$\huge\underline\mathtt\colorbox{cyan}{Reason:}$

When a force causes a body to move, work is done on the object by the force. Work is the measure of the energy transfer when a force 'F' moves an object through a distance 'd'. So we say that energy is transferred from one energy store to another when work is done, and therefore, energy transferred = work done.
