2 answers:

7 0

potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

Answer:

Potential energy is the latent energy in an object at rest, and is one of two forms of energy. The other form, kinetic energy, is the energy expressed by an object in motion. The actual potential energy of an object depends on its position relative to other objects.

4. A car accelerates, from rest, at 2.4 m/s?. How fast is the car traveling

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

19.2m/s

Explanation:

Assuming that 2.4m/s^2 was the acceleration and not a typo, we can use the equation v=at, where v=velocity, a=acceleration, and t=time,

plug in known varibles,

v=2.4*8

v=19.2m/s

A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb

77julia77 [94]

Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:

- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing

- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.

$\frac{9}{100} = .09$
change the decimal to a percentage:

$.09 = 9\%$
the light bulb had 9% efficiency

Malcolm and Ravi raced each other. The average of their maximum speeds was 260 km/h If doubled, Malcolm's maximum speed would be

AfilCa [17]

Answer

Given,

Average speed of Malcolm and Ravi = 260 km/h

Let speed of the Malcolm be X and speed of the Ravi Y.

From the given statement

$\dfrac{X+Y}{2}=260$

$X + Y = 520$ ....(i)

$2X - Y = 80$ ....(ii)

Adding both the equations

3 X = 600

X = 200 km/h

Putting value in equation (i)

Y = 520 - 200

Y = 320 Km/h

Speed of Malcolm = 200 Km/h

Speed of Ravi = 320 Km/h

Calculate the root mean square velocity of nitrogen molecules at 25 C.

iragen [17]

root mean square<span>= square root of ( 3RT/M)

R = 8.314 J/K/mole
T = 25 + 273 = 298 K
M = molecular mas of N2 in kg = 28 X 10^-3 kg

put values...

</span><span> root mean square</span> = square root of ( 3 X 8.314 X 298/28 X 10^-3)
= square root of ( 265454.143)
= 515.2 m/s
so option A is right
hope this helps

Ann is driving down a street at 61 km/h.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

12.267 seconds approximately.

Explanation:

The units can be simplified into m/s, in which case you would have 61000/3600. Simplify that to 16 and 17/18. This is your meters per second, so multiply that by .724 to get the answer.
