-- The resistance of the heater is (volts/current) = 5 ohms

-- The heating (RMS) value of a sinusoidal AC is V(peak)/√2 .  For this particular alternator, V(peak)=100V, so the heating (RMS) equivalent is 70.71 V.

-- The heating power delivered to the electric heater is (E²/R).

Power = (100/√2)² / 5

Power = 5,000 / 5

<u>Power = 1,000 watts </u>

Vlad [161]
Given the speed and the distance, to find time you can use the formula speed is equal to distance over time. From there you can manipulate the equation for time to equal the distance divided by speed. Time is equal to 18.4 meters divided by 35m/s which equals 0.526 seconds.

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o
Vika [28.1K]
The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y

When the displacement in SHM is equal to 1/3 of the amplitude xm, what fraction of the total energy is (a) kinetic energy and (b
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Displacement is \frac{1}{3} of Amplitude

i.e. x=\frac{A}{3} , where A is maximum amplitude

Potential Energy is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

U=\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{A}{3})^2

U=\frac{1}{18}kA^2

Total Energy of SHM is given by

T.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

Total Energy=kinetic Energy+Potential Energy

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 -\frac{1}{18}kA^2

K.E.=\frac{8}{18}kA^2

Potential Energy is \frac{1}{8} th of Total Energy

Kinetic Energy is \frac{8}{9} of Total Energy

(c)Kinetic Energy is 0.5\times \frac{1}{2}kA^2

P.E.=\frac{1}{4}kA^2

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{4}kA^2

x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}
