sledge (including load) weighs 5000 N. It is pulled on level snow by a dog team exerting ahorizontal force on it. The coefficient
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2.5 x 10^{5} J

Explanation:

weight = 5,000 N

coefficient of friction = 0.05

distance = 1000 m

how much work is done by the dogs pulling the sledge

work done = force x coefficient of friction x distance

work done = 5000 x 0.05 x 1000 = 2.5 x 10^{5} J

Electronic flash units for camera contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit, the fl
nadezda [96]

Answer:

420J

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of change in energy. Power is the ratio of energy to time. The S.I unit of power is in watts.

Given that the flash lasts for 1/675 s, power output is 2.7 * 10⁵ W. Hence:

Power = Energy / time

Substituting:

2.7 * 10⁵ W = Energy / (1/675)

Energy = 2.7 * 10⁵ W * 1/675 = 400J

Therefore the energy emitted as light is 400J.

Since the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient, hence the energy stored as electrical energy is:

Energy(capacitor) = 5% of 400J + 400J = 0.05*400 + 400

Energy(capacitor) = 420J
