Answer:

Essentials. A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.

What distance will be traveled if you are going 120km/hr for 30 min?

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

60 km

Explanation:

For an object (or a person, such as in this case) moving at constant speed, the speed is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled and the time taken:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

v is the speed

d is the distance

t is the time taken

In this case, we have:

v = 120 km/h is the speed

t = 30 min = 0.5 h is the time taken

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to find the total distance travelled:

$d=vt=(120)(0.5)=60 km$

A Blu-ray disc is approximately 11 centimeters in diameter. The drive motor of a Blu-ray player is able to rotate up to 10,000 r

stepladder [879]

Answer:

the maximum angular speed (in radians per second) of a Blu-ray disc as it rotates is 57.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given information:

diameter of the disc, d = 11 cm, r = 5.5 cm = 0.055 m

angular speed ω = 10000 rev/min = (10000 rev/min)(2π rad/rev)(1/60 min/s)

= 1000π/3 rad/s

to calculate the maximum angular speed we can use the following formula

ω = v/r

v = ωr

= (1000π/3)(0.055)

= 57.6 m/s

What is necessary to designate a position? A. a reference point B. a direction C. fundamental units D. motion E. all of these

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

E. all of these

Explanation:

The designation of a point in space all the points that necessary

- reference point

- a direction

- fundamental units

- a direction

- motion

all are necessary to designate a point in space. Hence option E is correct.

For example in simple harmonic motion we need to specify all the above factors of the object in order to designate the position of the object.

3. What is the potential energy of a 8 Newton book sitting on a shelf that is 12 meters high?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

P = 96 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the book, W = mg = 8 N

It is placed at a height of 12 m

We need to find the potential energy of the book. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

mg = Weight

$E=8\ N\times 12\ m\\E=96\ J$

So, the potential energy of the book is 96 J.

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed

kogti [31]

Answer:

a) $y_{first}=5.3mm$

b) $y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm$

Explanation:

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}$ when m is a natural number.

here:

m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)
D is the distance from the slit to the screen
a is the slit wide
λ is the wavelength

So we have:

$y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}$

$y_{first}=5.3mm$

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

$y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}$

$y_{2}=10.6 mm$

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

$y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm$

I hope it heps you!
