Answer:A generator is the appropriate device to be used.

Explanation:

A generator is a device which transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy.

The different parts of a generator includes:

- Engine, alternator, fuel system, voltage regulator, lubricating system, cooling and exhaust system, Battery charger and control panel.

The generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction which states that

that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Therefore, the use of a generator is the best device for the campers to provide electrical power source for their heaters and light in the cabin.

You drag a crate across a floor with a rope. The force applied is 750 N and the angle of the rope is 25.0° above the horizontalH
frez [133]

a.

The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:

W=F\cos\theta\cdot d

where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.

The problen gives the following data:

The magnitude of the force 750 N.

The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°

The distance, 26 m.

Plugging this in the formula we have:

\begin{gathered} W=\left(750\right)\left(\cos25\right)\left(26\right) \\ W=17673 \end{gathered}

Therefore the work done is 17673 J.

b)

The power is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}

the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{17673}{6} \\ P=2945.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore the power is 2945.5 W

An automobile rounds a curve of radius 50.0 m on a flat road.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of the curve  = 50m

Centripetal acceleration  = 3.92m/s²

Unknown:

Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.

 It is given as;

      a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}  

a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius

  Now insert the parameters and find v;

         v²   = ar

        v² = 3.92 x 50  = 196

         v  = √196 = 14m/s

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a. 1.027 x 10^7 m/s b. 3600 V c. 0 V and d. 1.08 MeV

Explanation:

a. KE =1/2 (MV^2) where the M is mass of electron

b. E = V/d

c. V= 0 V (momentarily the pd changes to zero)

d KE= 300*3600 v = 1.08 MeV
