Three different units of energy is

1. Joule: is is SI unit of measuring thermal energy or heat

2. Calorie: this system of energy is used when we take CGS system of mass and specific heat capacity

3. BTU: this system is known as british thermal unit which is used in measuring engineering calculations

How many paths do the electrons have to flowlin a series circuit?

AleksandrR [38]

One path because in a series circuit it is only one path while in a parallel circuit you have 2 or more. Our houses use parallel so that is why you can turn off one light and the rest would stay on.

An animal-rescue plane flying due east at 27 m/s drops a bale of hay from an altitude of 74 m . The acceleration due to gravity

padilas [110]

To solve this problem we will find the net speed, through the two components given. The vertical component will be found through the energy conservation theorem. Finally with speed we will find the momentum as a function of mass and speed. Given the weight we will divide it by the acceleration to find that mass.

The x component is given as

$v_x = 27m/s$

For conservation of energy the vertical component of velocity would be

$PE = KE$

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_y^2$

$v_y = \sqrt{2gh}$

Here,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

h = Height

Replacing we have that the vertical velocity is

$v_y = \sqrt{2(9.8)(74)}$

$v_y = 38.08m/s$

The magnitude of this velocity would be

$|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$|V| = \sqrt{27^2+38.08^2}$

$|V| = 46.68m/s$

Finally the momentum of the bale would be

$p = mv$

$p = (\frac{F}{g})(v)$

$p = (\frac{165}{9.8})(46.68)$

$p = 785.93kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore the momentum of the bale the moment it strikes the ground is $785.93kg\cdot m/s$
