Answer:

Electric potential energy in the battery transforms to electric energy. Electric energy transforms to motion energy (spinning fan blades), sound energy (noise), and thermal energy (a warm motor).

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy to mechanical and thermal energy

Explanation:

In the rotating fan, the chemical energy stored in the battery is used to generate electrical energy.

The electrolytes within the battery undergoes chemical reactions that produces electric current.

The current is being used to drive the motor of the fan to produce a mechanical energy as it rotates.
In like manner, heat energy is also produced.
So, energy is simply being transformed from one form to the other in this system.

Multiple-Concept Example 13 presents useful background for this problem. The cheetah is one of the fastest accelerating animals,

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

9241.6 W or 12.39318 hp

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

m = Mass

t = Time taken

Energy

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow KE=\frac{1}{2}108(30.4^2-0^2)\\\Rightarrow KE=49904.64\ Joules$

Power

$P=\frac{KE}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{49904.64}{5.4}\\\Rightarrow P=9241.6\ W$

Converting to hp

$1\ W=\frac{1}{745.7}\ hp$

$\\\Rightarrow 9241.6\ W=\frac{9241.6}{745.7}\ hp=12.39318\ hp$

The power developed by the cheetah is 9241.6 W or 12.39318 hp

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

$4.32\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

$t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s$

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

$E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J$

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?

lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.

Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.

Hope this helps! :)

A company is creating a new mosquito repellent, and needs to figure out how much is needed to stop mosquito bites. They find vol

Jlenok [28]

The independent variable is the different amount of repellent each person is given. This is because it does not depend on any variable. The dependent variable is what they are measuring, which would be the number of bites on each volunteer.
I hope this helps! :)
