A 4 kg kitten is sliding at 12 m/s on a horizontal frictionless surface. A constant force is applied that slows it with an accel

eration of 3 m/s/s. How much work must this force do to stop the kitten
Physics

3 0

Answer:

288 Joules

Explanation:

Work= delta kinetic energy. To find the work required to stop the kitten, you have to find the delta kinetic energy between when the kitten is moving and when it is stopped. Since it is not moving when it's stopped, it has no kinetic energy. So to find the work, just find the kinetic energy of the kitten moving at 12m/s.

KE=1/2((m)(v^2)), therefore

delta KE=(1/2)*((4kg)*((12m/s)^2))-0

6. If a vehicle needs 5s to complete 15m. Find the mean speed of it?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

3m/s

Explanation:

Time=5s

Distance =15m

Speed=distance/time

Putting the values

Speed=15m/5s

Speed=3m/s is the answer

Hope it will help you. :)

A quantum system has three states, with energies 0, 1.6 × 10-21, and 1.6 × 10-21, in Joules. It is coupled to an environment wit
xenn [34]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply two concepts, the first is related to the calculation of average data and the second is the Boltzmann distribution.

Boltzmann distribution is a probability distribution or probability measure that gives the probability that a system will be in a certain state as a function of that state's energy and the temperature of the system. It is given by

z = \sum\limit_i e^{-\frac{\epsilon_i}{K_0T}}

Where,

\epsilon_i = energy of that state

k = Boltzmann's constant

T = Temperature

With our values we have that

T= 250K

k = 1.381*10^{23} m^2 kg s^{-2} K^{-1}

\epsilon_1=0J

\epsilon_2=1.6*10^{-21}J

\epsilon_3=1.6*10^{-21}J

To make the calculations easier we can assume that the temperature and Boltzmann constant can be summarized as

\beta = \frac{1}{kT}

\beta = \frac{1}{(1.381*10^{23} m^2)(250)}

\beta = 2.9*10^{20}J

Therefore the average energy would be,

\bar{\epsilon} =\frac{\sum \epsilon_i e^{-\beta \epsilon_i}}{\sum e^{-\beta \epsilon_i}}

Replacing with our values we have

\bar{\epsilon} = \frac{0e^{-0}+1.6*10^{-21}*e^{-\Beta(1.6*10^{-21})}+1.6*10^{-2-1}*e^{-(2.9*10^{20})(1.6*10^{-21})}}{1+2e^{-2.9*10^{20}*1.6*10^{-21}}}

\bar{\epsilon} = 0.9*10^{-22}J

Therefore the average internal energy is \bar{\epsilon} = 0.9*10^{-22}J

A metallic conductor has a resistivity of 35 × 10 −6 Ω⋅m. What is the resistance of a piece that is 20 m long and has a uniform
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω

Explanation:

Resistance:

  • Resistance of a metallic conductor is directly proportional to its length(l).
  • Resistance of a metallic conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A).

The notation sign of resistance is R.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

Therefore,

R \propto l

and

R \propto \frac{1}{A}

\therefore R\propto \frac{l}{A}

\Rightarrow R=\rho \frac{l}{A}

ρ is the proportional constant.

It is also known as resistivity of that metal.

Given ρ=35×10⁻⁶Ω-m

l= 20 m

A= 4.0×10⁻⁶m²

\therefore R=35\times 10^{-6}\times \frac{20}{4.0\times 10^{-6}}

       =175Ω

Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω

A plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. Which organelle is m
Nadya [2.5K]

The chloroplast of the cell is most likely damaged if the plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy.

The chloroplast is the structure inside the leaf cell that is known for capturing light energy from the sun.

This light energy is then used to make food that has chemical energy. If a plant cell has a damaged chloroplast or the chloroplast is removed, then it will no longer be able to trap the light energy. As a result, the process of photosynthesis will not occur in the plant cell. The plant cell will not be able to make the chemical energy required for functioning.
