Answer:0.612 kilowatts

Explanation:

Current=5.1 amperes

Voltage=120 volts

Power=current x voltage

Power=5.1 x 120

Power=612

power=612 watts

power=612/1000 kilowatts

Power=0.612 kilowatts

Answer:

$\lambda=4L=1.33m$

v=343m/s

Explanation:

We have to take into account the expressions

$f=\frac{2n+1}{4}\frac{v_s}{L}\\L=(2n+1)\frac{\lambda}{4}$

if we assume that 256Hz is the fundamental frequency we have

$f=\frac{1}{4}\frac{v_s}{L}\\\\L=\frac{1}{4}\frac{v_s}{f}=\frac{1}{4}\frac{343\frac{m}{s}}{256Hz}=0.33m$

and for wavelength

$\lambda=4L=1.33m$

hope this helps!!

Consider an isolated system, by which we mean a system free of external forces. If the sum of the particle energies in the syste

Airida [17]

Answer:

The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 147 J

We know that,

System is isolated and it is free from external forces.

So, the work done by the external forces on the system should be equal to zero.

$W=0$

We need to calculate the system's potential energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

$\Delta U=W-\Delta E$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta U=0-147$

$\Delta U=-147\ J$

Hence, The system's potential energy is -147 J.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of a force is measured by force x time or F X t

Impulse also equals change in momentum or

F x t = m v₂ - m v₁

The given case is as follows

in the first case

F x t = mv - o = mv

F = mv / t

in the second case

F₁ x 4 t = mv

F₁ = 1/4 x mv /t

F₁ = F / 4

option a) is correct .

iii )

In the last case

F₂ X t = m v/2 -0

F₂ = 1/2 x mv / t

= 1/2 x F

F₂ = F/2

Option e ) is correct.

What is the work required for a penguin to push a box 2 meters with a force of 8 newtons?

choli [55]

Work done is given by product of force and displacement due to that force

So here we will have

$Work = Force \times displacement$

here we know that

$Force = 8 N$

$displacement = 2 m$

Now work done is given as

$W = 8\times 2$

$W = 16 J$

so it will do 16 J work to move the box
