Answer:

120,000J

Corrected question;

In one hour, coal supplies 500 000 J of energy. The wasted energy amounts to 380 000 J. How much useful energy is produced in one hour?

Explanation:

Given;

Total energy Et = 500,000 J

Wasted Energy Ew = 380,000J

The amount useful energy is the amount of energy that is available for supply.

This can be derived by subtracting the wasted energy from the total energy.

Useful energy = Total Energy - wasted energy

Eu = Et - Ew

Substituting the given values;

Eu = 500,000J - 380,000

Eu = 120,000 J

The amount of useful energy produced in one hour is 120,000 J

You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of
olga2289 [7]
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

                Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

                              11.2 cm  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
                         0.112 meter  =  (4.9 m/s²) (time)²                      

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :        (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                            (0.112 / 4.9)  sec²  =  time²

Square root
each side:            time = √(0.112/4.9  sec²)

                                  =  √ 0.5488 sec²

                                  =      0.74 second     (rounded)

Three identical metallic conducting spheres carry the following charges: q = +3.8 μC, q = −2.6 μC, and q = −8.8 μC. The spheres
Kitty [74]

Answer:

-4.1μC is the final charge on the third sphere

Explanation:

From the given data, q1 and q2 are brought into contact as they are both conductors,  as such there will be evenly distribution of charges.

a) charge on each sphere(Q) = q1 + q2 / 2

= +3.8 μC + (- 2.6 μC) / 2 = 1.2μC/2 = 0.6μC

b) Now, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere ; Q is brought into contact with q3 = Q + q3 / 2

= 0.6μC - 8.8 μC /2 = -8.2 μC/2

= -4.1μC is the final charge on the third sphere.

We have seen that an electric field must exist inside a conductor that carries a current. How is that possible in view of the fa
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential difference between one side of the wire causes the electric field inside the wire (causes the electrons to flow). However, inside the wire, it is still neutral. The electrons are just moving, the wire is not gaining or losing electrons.
