Answer:

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another

Kinetic Energy + Energy due to air resistance = Potential energy..........(1)

If there is no energy loss due to air resistance, potential energy = kinetic energy

mass, m = 1.5 kg

height, h = 4.0 m

speed, v = 6 m/s

Kinetic energy = 0.5 mv²

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * 1.5 * 6²

Kinetic energy = 27 Joules

Potential Energy = mgh

Potential energy = 1.5 * 9.8 * 4

Potential energy = 58.8 Joules

From equation (1)

27 + Energy due to air resistance = 58.8

Energy due to air resistance = 58.8 - 27

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Answer:

Explanation:

Note:

Air resistance in the way means not all of the potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy.

Given:

Mass = 1.5 kg

D = 4 m

Vf = 6 m/s

Energy + KE = PE

= (M × g × d) - (1/2 × M × V^2)

= (1.5 × 9.8 × 4) - (1/2 × 1.5 × 6^2)

= 58.8 - 27

= 31.8 J

A 0.780 m long section of cable carrying current to a car starter motor makes an angle of 60.0° with the Earth's 5.50 ✕ 10−5 T f
STatiana [176]

Answer:

188 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Length of cable, L = 0.78 m

Angle, θ = 60º

Magnetic field, B = 5.5 * 10^(-5) T

Force experienced by wire, F = 7 * 10^(-3) N

The force experienced by a current carrying wire of length L, due to a magnetic field B is given as:

F = I * L * B * sinθ

=> I = F/(L * B * sinθ)

I = (7 * 10^(-3)) / (0.78 * 5.5 * 10^(-5) * sin60)

I = 188 A

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

he factor for the temporal part 1.296 107 s² = h²

 m / s² = 12960 km / h²

Explanation:

This is a unit conversion exercise.

In the unit conversion, the size of the object is not changed, only the value with respect to which it is measured is changed, for this reason in the conversion the amount that is in parentheses must be worth one.

In this case, it is requested to convert a measure km/h²

Unfortunately, it is not clearly indicated what measure it is, but the most used unit in physics is   m / s² , which is a measure of acceleration. Let's cut this down

the factor for the distance is 1000 m = 1 km

the factor for time is 3600 s = 1 h

let's make the conversion

        m / s² (1km / 1000 m) (3600 s / 1h)²

note that as time is squared the conversion factor is also squared

        m / s² = 12960 km / h²

the factor for the temporal part 1.29 107 s² = h²
