Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

power rating of the heater P= 1010 W

voltage of the heater V= 115 volts

current taken by the heater I= ?

We can apply the power formula to solve for the current in the heater

i.e P= IV

Making I the current subject of formula we have

I= P/V

Substituting our given data into the expression for I we have

I=1010/115= 8.78 A

<h2 /><h2><em>Hence the current when the unit/heater is operating is 8.78 Amp</em></h2>

When I throw a ball in the air at what point will it have the least kinetic energy

pickupchik [31]

When you throw the ball in the air it is considered kinetic energy. Once the ball reaches its max height, it stops moving and all kinetic energy turns into potential energy. So when the ball is at its highest point.

The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.

To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.

<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>

It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

$V_x'=0.8c\\V=0.6c\\m=4*10^5kg$

Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

$KE=m_0c^2=\frac{mc^2}{1-(\frac{v_x^2}{c^2} )}$

So, to $V_x=(0.8+0.6)c-[\frac{0.6c*(0.8c)^2}{c^2}]=1.016$ find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame.
We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,

$V_x'=\frac{V_x-V}{1-\frac{VV_x}{c^2} } \\thus,\\V_x=V_x'(1-\frac{VV_x}{c^2} )+V$

Substituting values, we get,

$V_x=0.8c(1-\frac{0.8c*0.6c}{c^2} )+0.6c=(0.8c*0.52)+0.6c=1.016c$

Thus, the KE will be,

$KE=\frac{4*10^5*(3*10^8)^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.016c)^2}{c^2} } } =\frac{1.2*10^{22}}{0.179}=6.704*10^{22}J$

Thus, we can conclude that, the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.
