Pierre is a 375 kg great white with an average speed of 3 m/s. When Pierre spots a seal, he increases his velocity to 7 m/s. Aft

er he eats the 45 kg seal, Pierre returns to his average velocity. What is Pierre's kinetic energy?

Answer:

1890J

Explanation:

375+45 = 420kg (total mass)

kinetic energy = 1/2 × mass × velocity²

1/2 × 420 × 3² = 1890J

An electromagnetic flowmeter is useful when it is desirable not to interrupt the system in which the fluid is flowing (e.g. for

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<em>2 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as

$E = Blv$

where $E$ is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V

$l$ is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m

$v$ is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?

$B$ is the magnetic field = 0.120 T

substituting, we have

2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x $v$

2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x $v$

$v$ = 2.88/1.44 = <em>2 m/s</em>

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts

Reika [66]

Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

The mass of the car?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1050 kg

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE (kinetic energy) = 1/2 × m × v² where <em>m</em> is the <em>mass in kg </em>and <em>v</em> is the velocity or <em>speed</em> of the object <em>in m/s</em>.

We can now substitute the values we know into this equation.

KE = 472 500 J and v = 30 m/s:

472 500 = 1/2 × m × 30²

Next, we can rearrange the equation to make m the subject and solve for m:

m = 472 500 ÷ (1/2 × 30²)

m = 472 500 ÷ 450

m = 1050 kg

Hope this helps!

At t=0, a block A of mass 8 kg and block B of mass 16 kg are both at position x=0 . Block A is at rest, and block B is moving at

love history [14]

The center of mass of the two objects is the average position of the parts of the two object system

The center of mass of block <em>A</em>, and block <em>B</em> after displacement of block <em>B</em> is at <u>20 m from block </u><u><em>A</em></u>

<em />

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The position of block A and block B at t = 0 is x = 0

The mass of block A, m₁ = 8 kg

Mass of block B, m₂ = 16 kg

Speed of block <em>A</em> = 0 m/s

Speed of block <em>B</em>, v₂ = 10 m/s

Location of the center of mass of the two object at t = 3 s; Required

Solution;

The location of block <em>A</em>, after 3 s is x₁ = 0 (block A is at rest)

The location of block <em>B</em>, = v₂ × t

The location of block <em>B</em>, after 3 s is x₂ = 10 m/s × 3 s = 30 m

The center of mass of two masses are given as follows;

$x_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot x_1 +m_2\cdot x_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$x_{cm} = \dfrac{8 \times0 + 16 \times 30}{8 + 16} = 20$

The center of mass of the two objects is at at the position x = <u>20 m</u> (from block <em>A</em>)
