You understand the concepts all perfectly fine, just have applied them slightly incorrectly.
Firstly, the speed time graph is actually a triangle since the question says a steady acceleration from rest - i.e. it started at 0 and worked up to 2ms-1 in the space of that 10 seconds. The area under the graph is the distance, and a triangle area is found with bh/2, and in this case that is 10*2/2 = 10m - so the boat travelled 10 metres.

Work done as you correctly stated is fd - giving the part against water resistance as 3*10 = 30J
However, you forgot to do the last part - the key words are rate of work - this means Power. Power is Energy/Time, and this whole process occurred over 10 seconds. So whilst 30J of energy were expended due to the water resistance, this didn't all occur in no time. So we need to divide that by 10 to get the power. And 30/10 is 3J/s - and J/s is the same as W.

Umnica [9.8K]

horizontal distance of home run is 400 ft = 122 m

height of the home run is 3 ft = 0.9 m

now the angle of the hit is 51 degree

now we have equation of trajectory of the motion

x = vcos\theta * t

y = v sin\theta * t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2

solving above two equations we have

y = xtan\theta - \frac{gx^2}{2v^2cos^2\theta}

now here we will plug in all data

0.9 = 122 tan51 - \frac{9.8 * 122^2}{2*v^2 * cos^251}

0.9 = 150.65 - \frac{184150.2}{v^2}

\frac{184150.2}{v^2} = 149.75

v = 35.1 m/s

<em>so the ball was hit with speed 35.1 m/s from the ground</em>

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) according to Faraday's law , b) creating a faster movement, placing more turns on coil

Explanation:

a) The voltage is induced in the coil by the relative movement between it and the magnet, therefore according to Faraday's law

           E = - d (B A) / dt

In this case, the magnet is involved, so the value of the magnetic field varies with time, since the number of lines that pass through the loop changes with movement.

This voltage creates a current that charges the battery

b) There are several ways to increase the voltage

* creating a faster movement, can be done by the user

* placing more turns on the coil, must be done by the manufacturer

AlekseyPX
When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature \Delta T the heat (energy) you must give to it is
E(=Q) =mc\Delta T
where c is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
E=645*0.3850*(28.22-13.20) =3729.8 (Joule)

Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin)  because on the temperature scale a difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin
