Answer:

ΔU = -17640 J

Explanation:

use the formula ΔU = mgΔh for the change in potential energy

m = 60 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Δh = 60 - 90 = -30 m

ΔU = mgΔh

ΔU = 60 * 9.8 * -30

ΔU = -17640 J

there was a decrease of 17640 joules in potential energy

an electric current of 285.0 ma flows 674. milliseconds. Calculate the amount of electric charge transported. Be sure your answe

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C

Explanation:

Electric Charge: This is defined as the product of electric current and time in an electric circuit, The S.I unit of electric charge is Coulombs (C)

Q = It..................... Equation 1

Where Q = Electric charge, I = electric current, t = time.

Given: I = 285 mA, t = 674 milliseconds.

Conversion: (i) Convert from 285 mA to A = (285/1000) A = 0.285 A

(ii) convert from 674 milliseconds to seconds = (674/1000) s = 0.674 s

Substituting these values into equation 1

Q = 0.285 × 0.674

Q = 0.192 C

Therefore the amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C

What do we mean by the observable universe?

mote1985 [20]

The observable universe is a spherical region of the Universe, comprising all matter that can be observed from Earth at the present time, because light and other signals from these objects have had time to reach Earth since the beginning of the cosmological expansion.

An engineering firm is designing a ski lift. The wire rope needs to travel with a linear velocity of 2.0 meters per second, and

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The diameter of the bull-wheel is 3.82

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 2.0 m/s

Angular velocity = 10 rev/m

$\omega=10\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega=1.0472\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the diameter of bull-wheel

Using formula of angular velocity

$v= r\omega$

$r=\dfrac{v}{\omega}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\dfrac{2.0}{1.0472}$

$r=1.91\ m$

The diameter of the bull-wheel

$D=2r$

$D=2\times1.91$

$D=3.82\ m$

Hence, The diameter of the bull-wheel is 3.82 m.

The main reason that most professional research telescopes are reflectors is that

GuDViN [60]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Large mirrors are easier to build than large lenses.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Reflector telescopes have a number of advantages as compared to refracting telescopes and other types of telescopes.
Reflector telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration because all wavelengths will reflect off the mirror in the same way. The support for the objective mirror is all along the back side so they can be made very large.
Additionally, reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size. Also since in reflector telescopes light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect.
