Answer:

When a metal is heated, the free electrons gain

c. kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is an energy possessed by an object due to its movement.

Metals contain free electrons which are called delocalised electrons, they move freely, when a metal is heated they vibrate and move more quickly - this electrons gain kinetic energy from the excess vibrating ions. They move around thereby transferring some of their energy to the nearby particles

If Scobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 160.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long w

DochEvi [55]

Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

To calculate the time that takes Scobie to drive around Earth's equator we need to find the distance, which is given by the equation of a circumference:

$d = 2\pi r$

Where:

r: is the Earth's radius = 6371 km

Then, the distance is:

$d = 2\pi r = 2\pi*6371 km = 40030.2 km$

Now, if we divide the above distance by the speed of the car we can find the time:

$t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{40030.2 km}{160.0 km/h} = 250.2 h*\frac{1 d}{24 h} = 10 d$

Therefore, Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

Use the data provided to calculate the gravitational potential energy of each cylinder mass. Round your answers to the nearest t

Goryan [66]

Answer: 14.7kJ, 29.4kJ, 44.1kJ

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:

$U_{p}=mgh$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ the acceleration due gravity and $h=500m$ the height of the object.

Knowing this, let's begin with the calculaations:

For m=3kg

$U_{p}=(3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)$

$U_{p}=14700J=14.7kJ$

For m=6kg

$U_{p}=(6kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)$

$U_{p}=29400J=29.4kJ$

For m=9kg

$U_{p}=(9kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(500m)$

$U_{p}=44100J=44.1kJ$

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(a) 104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:

F= Fx/cos30°

Substitute for Fx from given data:

Fx=90 N/cos30°

=104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

Fy = Fsin 30°

Substitute for F from part (a):

Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)

= 52 N

Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. Both A and B

Explanation:

Electronic leveling systems: These are automatic lifting jacks use for raising wheels and vehicle when parked or when work is to be done on the vehicle engine underneath or on wheels. unlike the manual jacks it is very quick and efficient.

Both technician right, for Technician A, a weight may be use during the procedure for balancing and leveling when raising, and for Technician B, the sensor in the electronic leveling systems is adjustable to adjust the height so as to maintain balancing and levelling.
