A lightning flash may transfer up to 14 C of charge through a potential difference of 107 V

Physics

Answer:

Energy involved = 1498 J

Time taken by this energy to light a 100 W bulb = 0·25 min

Explanation:

Charge that is transferred = 14 C

Potential difference = 107 V

Formula for power in terms of potential difference (V) and current (I) = V × I

<h3>And power is also equal to (work done) ÷ (time taken)</h3>

Current (I) = (charge transferred) ÷ (time taken)

<h3>Formula for energy = V × Q</h3><h3>where V is the potential difference</h3><h3>Q is the charge transferred</h3>

∴ Energy involved = 107 × 14 = 1498 J

Given power of the bulb = 100 W

Energy ÷ (time taken) = 100

1498 ÷ (time taken) = 100

∴ Time taken = 14·98 s = 14·98 ÷ 60 min = 0·25 min

A 10 kg monkey climbs up a massless rope that runs over a frictionless tree limb and back down to a 15 kg package on the ground.
pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 4,9 m/s2

B. 2,0 m/s2

C. 120 N

Explanation:

In the image, 1 is going to represent the monkey and 2 is going to be the package.  Let a_mín be the minimum acceleration that the monkey should have in the upward direction, so the package is barely lifted. Apply Newton’s second law of motion:

\sum F_y=m_1*a_m_i_n = T-m_1*g

If the package is barely lifted, that means that T=m_2*g; then:

\sum F_y =m_1*a_m_i_n=m_2*g-m_1*g

Solving the equation for a_mín, we have:

a_m_i_n=((m_2-m_1)/m_1)*g = ((15kg-10kg)/10kg)*9,8 m/s^2 =4,9 m/s^2

Once the monkey stops its climb and holds onto the rope, we set the equation of Newton’s second law as it follows:

For the monkey: \sum F_y = m_1*a \rightarrow T-m_1*g=m_1*a

For the package: \sum F_y = m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g - T = m_2*a

The acceleration a is the same for both monkey and package, but have opposite directions, this means that when the monkey accelerates upwards, the package does it downwards and vice versa. Therefore, the acceleration a on the equation for the package is negative; however, if we invert the signs on the sum of forces, it has the same effect. To be clearer:

For the package: \sum F_y = -m_2*a \rightarrow T-m2*g=-m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g -T=m_2 *a

We have two unknowns and two equations, so we can proceed. We can match both tensions and have:

m_1*a+m_1*g=m_2*g-m_2*a

Solving a, we have

(m_1+m_2)*a =(m_2 - m1)*g\\\\a=((m_2-m_1)/(m_1+m_2))*g \rightarrow a=((15kg-10kg)/(10kg+15kg))*9,8 m/s^2\\\\a= 2,0 m/s^2

We can then replace this value of a in one for the sums of force and find the tension T:

T = m_1*a+m_1*g \rightarrow T=m_1*(a+g)\\\\T = 10kg*(2,0 m/s^2+9,8 m/s^2) \\\\T = 120 N

A person pulls a box across the floor with a rope. The rope makes an angle of 40 degrees tot he horizontal, and a total of 125 n
RSB [31]

Answer:

The angle formed of the rope with the surface = 40°

Force applied = 125Newtons

The displacement covered by the box =25metres

W= FDcos theta

[125×40×cos(40°) ] Joules

= [ (3125×0.76604444311)]Joules

= 2393.88888472 joules(ans)

Hope it helps
