Answer:

1440 W

Explanation:

First of all, we can find the total displacement of the sled, which is given by

$d=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

a = 0.08 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 1 min = 60 s is the time

Substituting,

$d=\frac{1}{2}(0.08 m/s^2)(60 s)^2=144 m$

Now we can find the wotk done on the sled, equal to the product between force and displacement:

$W=Fd=(600 N)(144 m)=86,400 J$

And finally we can fidn the average power, which is the ratio between the work done and the time taken:

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{86,400 J}{60 s}=1440 W$

This is just testing your ability to recall that kinetic energy is given by:

<span>k.e. = ½mv² </span>

<span>where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the particle. </span>

<span>The frequency of the light is redundant information. </span>

<span>Here, you are given m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg and v = 7.00 * 10^5 m/s. </span>
<span>Just plug in the values: </span>

<span>k.e. = ½ * 9.1 * 10^-31 * (7.00 * 10^5)² </span>
<span>k.e. = 2.23 * 10^-19 J
so it will be d:2.2*10^-19 J</span>

I will mark you as brainliest if you answer correctly

(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
$V=IR$
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know $V=220 V$ and $R=220 \Omega$ , therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
$I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{220 V}{220 \Omega}=1 A$

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
$R= \rho \frac{L}{A}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.

A typical oil control ring consists of _______ separate part(s).

azamat

<span>A. three</span><span>

Oil spill can be very harmful to marine life because the chemical make up of oils can be poisonous to marine life. The oil can also affect the natural body temperature of marine animals especially to the small fish. Sea otters and sea birds are the most commonly affected by oil spills and those other marine animals that can be found in the shoreline. Heavy oils like the bunker oils used to fuel ships are the most harmful oil because when this oil stick to birds feathers, they may have an inability to warm themselves that could lead them to die.</span>

What is the change in potential energy of a 2.00 nC test charge, Uelectric, b - Uelectric, a, as it is moved from point a at x

lyudmila [28]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A uniform electric field of 2kN/C points in the +x-direction.

(a) What is the change in potential energy of a +2.00nC test charge, $U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a}$ as it is moved from point a at x = -30.0 cm to point b at x = +50.0 cm?

(b) The same test charge is released from rest at point a. What is the kinetic energy when it passes through point b?

(c) If a negative charge instead of a positive charge were used in this problem, qualitatively, how would your answers change?

Answer: (a) ΔU = 3.2× $10^{-6}$ J

(b) KE = 2× $10^{-6}$ J

Explanation: <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy</u> (U) is the amount of work done due to its position or condition and its unit is Joule (J). <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy</u> (KE) is the ability to do work by virtue of velocity and the unit is also (J). <u>Mechanical</u> <u>Energy</u> is the sum of Potential and Kinetic Energies of a system.

(a) Related to electricity, Potential Energy can be calculated as:

ΔU = Eqd

where E is the electric field (in N/C);

q is the charge (in C);

d is the distance between plaques (in m);

For a at x = - 30cm and b at x = 50 cm:

E = 2× $10^{3}$ N/C

q = 2× $10^{-9}$ C

d = 50 - (-30) = 80× $10^{-2}$ = 8× $10^{-1}$ m

ΔU = $U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a}$ = Eqd

$U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a}$ = 2× $10^{3}$ . 2× $10^{-9}$ . 8× $10^{-1}$

ΔU = 3.2× $10^{-6}$ J

(b) Mechanical Energy is constant, so:

$KE_{i} + U_{i} = KE_{f} + U_{f}$

Since the initial position is zero and there is no initial kinetic energy:

$KE_{f} = - U{f}$

$KE_{f} =$ - (2× $10^{3}$ . 2× $10^{-9}$ . 5× $10^{-1}$ )

$KE_{f} = - 2.10^{-6}$ J

(c) If the charge is negative, electric field does positive work, which diminishes the potential energy. The charge flows from the negative side towards the positive side and stays, not doing anything.
