Answer: 91.4 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion.
K.E. = 0.5 m v²
Mass of the continent is given, m = 1.819 × 10²¹ kg
Side of the block of continent, s = 4150 km = 4150000 m
Depth of the block of continent, d = 38 km = 38000 m
(Mass = density × volume
m = 2780 kg/m³× (4150 × 10³ m)²× 38 × 10³ m = 1.819 × 10²¹ kg)
The continent is moving at the rate of, v = 1 cm /year = 0.01 m / 31556926 s = 3.17 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
⇒ K.E. = 0.5 × 1.819 × 10²¹ kg × (3.17 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²= 91.4 J
Hence, mass of the continent has 91.4 J of kinetic energy.
It would take more energy to reheat 12 cups because only 1 or 2 cups can fit in a microwave rather an than brewing 12 cups in a coffee pot.
Answer:
9.51
Explanation:
The distance s is given by:
The change in distance is given by the time derivative of s:
For the time t you solve the equation of distance x for time:
Plugging in for t:
Answer:
Explanation:
mg = kx
x = mg/k
x = 30(80)(9.8)/2.8e7 = 0.00084 m ≈ 1 mm
Answer:
Current, I = 3.57A
Explanation:
A current of I amperes means that I Coulombs of charge flows through the conductor (heating coil) per second.
Therefore, in time t, the total charge (Q) passing through any point in which the current (C) flows will be given by the equation;
Q = It
Where; Q is the charge in coulombs; I is the current in amperes; t is the time in seconds.
From the question, we were given the following parameters;
Q = 25C, t= 7secs and I =?
From the equation, Q = It
We make current, I the subject of formula;
Thus, I = Q/t
Substituting into the equation;
I = 25/7
I = 3.57Amp.
