Explain the following defects of a simple electric cell:

Physics
1 answer:
eimsori [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

A) F_g = 26284.48 N

B) v = 7404.18 m/s

C) E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of satellite; m = 3500 kg

Mass of the earth; M = 6 x 10²⁴ Kg

Earth circular orbit radius; R = 7.3 x 10⁶ m

A) Formula for the gravitational force is;

F_g = GmM/r²

Where G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

F_g = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)²

F_g = 26284.48 N

B) From the momentum principle, we have that the gravitational force is equal to the centripetal force.

Thus;

GmM/r² = mv²/r

Making v th subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Plugging in the relevant values;

v = √(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶))

v = 7404.18 m/s

C) From the energy principle, the minimum amount of work is given by;

E = (GmM/r) - ½mv²

Plugging in the relevant values;

E = [(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 × 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)] - (½ × 3500 × 7404.18)

E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Karla Ayala pulls a sled on an icy road (dangerous!). Because of Karla's pull, the tension force is 151 N, and the rope makes a
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ

Explanation:

In order to find the work done by the pull force applied by Karla, we need to can use the formula of work done. This formula tells us that work done on a body is the product of the distance covered by the object with the component of force applied in the direction of that displacement:

W = F.d

W = Fd Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force = 151 N

d = distance covered = 10 m

θ = Angle with horizontal = 20°

Therefore,

W = (151 N)(10 m) Cos 20°

<u>W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ</u>

What is the weight of a 5.00 kg object on Earth? Assume g=9.81 m/s^2.
Softa [21]

<em>weight = (mass) x (gravity)</em>

Weight = (5.00 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)

weight = (5.00 x 9.81) (kg-m/s²)

<em>Weight = 49.05 Newton</em>
