Answer:

1. Energy = 2880 Joules.

2. Energy = 60 Joules.

3. Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Voltage = 12 Volts

Current = 0.5 Amps

Time, t = 8 mins to seconds = 8 * 60 = 480 seconds

To find the energy;

Power = current * voltage

Power = 12 * 0.5

Power = 6 Watts

Next, we find the energy transferred;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 6 * 480

Energy = 2880 Joules

2. Charge, Q = 4 coulombs

Potential difference, p.d = 15V

To find the total energy transferred;

Energy = Q * p.d

Energy = 4 * 15

Energy = 60 Joules

3. Voltage = 6 Volts

Current = 1 Amps

Time = 2 minutes to seconds = 2 * 60 = 120 seconds

To find the quantity of charge;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Quantity of charge = 1 * 120

Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs

Force F → = (−8.0 N)iˆ + (6.0 N)jˆ acts on a particle with position vector r → = (3.0 m)iˆ + (4.0 m)jˆ. What are (a) the torque

disa [49]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$F=-8\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

$r=3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}$

a.We have to find the torque on the particle about the origin.

We know that

Torque= $\tau=r\times F=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\3&4&0\\-8&6&0\end{vmatrix}$

By using the formula

$\tau=50\hat{k}$

b. $\mid \tau\mid =\mid F\mid \mid r\mid sin\theta$

$\mid F\mid=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(6)^2}=10$

$\mid r\mid=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5$

$\mid \tau\mid=\sqrt{(-50)^2}=50$

Substitute the values then we get

$50=10\times 5 sin\theta$

$sin\theta=\frac{50}{50}=1$

$sin\theta=sin90^{\circ}$

Because $sin90^{\circ}=1$

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

Kay [80]

Answer:

2N/cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:
