Answer:

he same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem

Explanation:

When there are several applied forces, if they are all in the same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem, so which the resulting dowry is less than the sum of the magnitudes.

Let's carry out an example with two forces, F1 and F2 of equal magnitudes

if they are in the same direction

F_total = F₁ + F₂ = 2 F

if they are at 90º

F_total = $\sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}= \sqrt{2} \ F$

if they are at 180º

F_total = F₁ -F₂ = 0

In order to find the efficiency first we will find the Change in Potential energy of the small stone that robot picked up

First we will find the mass of the stone

As it is given that stone is spherical in shape so first we will find its volume

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi *(\frac{0.06}{2})^3$

$V = 1.13 * 10^{-4} m^3$

Now it is given that it's specific gravity is 10.8

So density of rock is

$\rho = 10.8 * 10^3 kg/m^3$

mass of the stone will be

$m = \rho V$

$m = 10.8* 10^3 * 1.13 * 10^{-4}$

$m = 1.22 kg$

now change in potential energy is given as

$\Delta U = mgH$

here

g = gravity on planet = 0.278 m/s^2

H = height lifted upwards = 15 cm

$\Delta U = 1.22* 0.278 * 0.15$

$\Delta U = 0.051 J$

Now energy supplied by internal circuit of robot is given by

$E = Vit$

V = voltage supplied = 10 V

i = current = 1.83 mA

t = time = 12 s

$E = 10* 1.83 * 10^{-3} * 12$

$E = 0.22 J$

Now efficiency is defined as the ratio of output work with given amount of energy used

$\eta = \frac{\Delta U}{E}*100$

$\eta = \frac{0.051}{0.22} = 0.23$

so efficiency will be 23 %

An electric kettle. The input energy is 10 Joules. The useful output energy is heat 9

mina [271]

Answer:

Efficiency = 90 %

Wasted energy = 10 %

Explanation:

Since we have the input energy and useful output energy of the electric kettle, the only thing we are required to calculate here is its efficiency. This is gotten from

E = useful output energy/input energy × 100

E = 9/10 × 100 = 90 %

The percentage of wasted energy is

W = wasted energy/input energy × 100

W = 1/10 × 100

W = 10 %

What if m1 is initially moving at 3.4 m/s while m2 is initially at rest? (a) find the maximum spring compression in this case?

Lisa [10]

<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = Â˝mvÂ˛ = Â˝ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)Â˛ = 2.9 J max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum: 1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v â†’ v = 0.6 m/s which means the combined KE = Â˝ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)Â˛ = 0.79 J The remaining energy went into the spring: U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = Â˝kxÂ˛ = Â˝ * 554N/m * xÂ˛ x = 0.0076 m â† (a)</span>
