If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1100 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.3 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it

Answer:

-929.5Joules

Explanation:

To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 1100kg

v is the velocity = 1.3m/s

KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²

KE = 550(1.69)

KE = 929.5Joules

Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules

In which electric circuit would the voltmeter read 10 volts ?

ki77a [65]

Given that,

Voltage = 10 volt

Suppose, The three resistance is connected in parallel and each resistance is 12 Ω. find the current in the electric circuit.

We need to calculate the equivalent resistance

Using formula of parallel

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{3}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}$

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$R=4\ \Omega$

We need to calculate the current in the circuit

Using ohm's law

$V=IR$

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{10}{4}$

$I=2.5\ A$

Hence, The current in the circuit is 2.5 A

Each value in nature has a number part, called its____<br> and a dimension, or unit

saul85 [17]

Answer:

<u>Magnitude</u>

Explanation:

Each value in nature has a number part, called its magnitude and a dimension called its unit.

For example,

The length of an object is 10 cm. It means that 10 shows the magnitude of length and cm shows its unit.

When an athlete holds a barbell overhead, the reaction force is the weight of the barbell on his hand. how does this force vary

Sonja [21]

The force applied by the competitor is littler than the heaviness of the barbell. At the point when the barbell quickens upward, the power applied by the competitor is more prominent than the heaviness of the barbell. When it decelerates upward, the power applied by the competitor is littler than the heaviness of the barbell.
