Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Since the force he is applying is 5N and he carries it a distance of 10 meters and the displacement and the force are assumed to be in the same direction we have 5*10 <span>so 50 J </span>

Answer:

He has done a work of 50 J on the javelin.

Explanation:

The work can be defined as:

W = F \cdot d \cos \theta (1)

Where W is the work, d is the distance and \theta is the angle between the force and the direction of the displacement.

For this particular case the force has the same direction of the displacement, so \theta = 0^{\circ}

Then, replacing all the values in equation 1 it is gotten:

W = (5.0 N) \cdot (10 m) \cos 0^{\circ}

W = 50 N.m

W = 50 Kg.m/s^{2}.m

W = 50 Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}

But 1J = Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}, therefore:

W = 50 J

Hence, he has done a work of 50 J on the javelin.

Key term:

1J = 1 Joule

The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at 3.70 V. According to the manufacturer it can produce math]3.15 \times 10^{4} J[
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the phone, V = 3.7 V

electrical energy of the phone battery, E = 3.15 x 10⁴ J

duration of battery energy, t = 5.25 h

The power the cell phone draws when turned on, is the rate of energy consumption, and this is calculated as follows;

P = \frac{E}{t}

where;

P is power in watts

E is energy in Joules

t is time in seconds

P = \frac{3.15*10^4}{5.25*3600s} = 1.667 \ W

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on:

P = IV

I = \frac{P}{V} =\frac{1.667}{3.7} = 0.451 \ A

Therefore, the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
Aleks04 [339]
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.waveperiod=\frac{1}{frequency}
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.

wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:

wave period= 1/ 200/s

get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200

then you can start the actual computation:

wave period= 1 x s divided by 200

this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

Multiple-Concept Example 6 reveiws the principles that play a role in this problem. A nuclear power reactor generates 2.3 x 109
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg

Explanation:

The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation

E=\Delta mc^2\\\Delta m=\frac{E}{c^2}(1)

That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

E=Pt=2.3*10^{9}\frac{J}{s}*1 year*\frac{365.25 day}{1 year}*\frac{24h}{1 day}*\frac{3600s}{1h}=7.25*10^{16}J

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have  (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

\Delta m=\frac{7.25*10^{16}J}{3*10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}=2.41*10^{8}kg

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
