A prime example is a rollercoaster. As the rollercoaster goes up the hill it has a ton of potential energy and as it falls it is turned into kinetic energy which keeps the coaster moving.

A river flows due east with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to earth. The river is 80.0 m wide. A woman starts at the southern bank

babymother [125]

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

As she travels at the rate of 5m/s due north, the amount of time it would take for her to cross the 80m wide river would be

t = 80 / 5 = 16 seconds

This is also the time it takes for the river to push her to the east side at the rate of 3m/s. So after 16 seconds, she would reach the opposite point at a horizontal distance from her starting of

s = 16*3 = 48 m

A 70.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35.0 m/s. Suppos

brilliants [131]

Answer:

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=70 kg ,u₁=0 m/s

m₂=0.15 kg ,u₂=35 m/s

Given that collision is elastic .We know that for elastic collision

Lets take their final speed is v₁ and v₂

From momentum conservation

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=m₁v₁+m₂v₂

70 x 0+ 0.15 x 35 = 70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂

70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂=5.25 --------1

v₂-v₁=u₁-u₂ ( e= 1)

v₂-v₁ = -35 --------2

By solving above equations

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 1.2 W of power. The resistor is 2 cm long, and has a diameter of 0.

34kurt

Answer:

(a) The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Explanation:

(a) The amount of heat dissipated ( $Q$ ), measured in joules, by the cylindrical resistor is the power multiplied by operation time ( $\Delta t$ ), measured in hours. That is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (1)

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ and $\Delta t = 86400\,s$ , then the amount of heat dissipated by the resistor is:

$Q = (1.2\,W)\cdot (86400\,s)$

$Q = 103680\,J$

The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux ( $Q'$ ), measured in watts per square meter, is the heat transfer rate divided by the area of the cylinder ( $A$ ), measured in square meters:

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{A}$ (2)

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}+\pi\cdot D \cdot h }$ (3)

Where:

$D$ - Diameter, measured in meters.

$h$ - Length, measured in meters.

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ , $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ and $h = 2\times 10^{-2}\,m$ , the heat flux of the resistor is:

$Q' = \frac{1.2\,W}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+\pi\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (2\times 10^{-2}\,m) }$

$Q' \approx 4340.589\,\frac{W}{m^{2}}$

The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) Since heat is uniformly transfered, then the fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces ( $r$ ), no unit, is the ratio of the top and bottom surfaces to total surface:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}}{A}$ (3)

If we know that $A \approx 2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ and $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ , then the fraction is:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2} }{2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}$

$r = 0.045$

The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.
