Answer:

392 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The total mass of the cabin and the passengers = 800 kg

The vertical distance between B and C is 50 m.

We need to find the increase of gravitational potential energy of the cabin and passengers when they move from B to C. It can be given by the relation as follows :

$E=mgh\\\\E=800\times 9.8\times 50\\\\E=392000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=392\ kJ$

So, the increase in gravitational potential energy is 392 kJ.

An observer in frame S sees lightning simultaneously strike two points 100 m apart. The first strike occurs at xx1 = yy1 = zz1 =

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) 0, = -0.33 us

b) 140m

c) No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time, the second even (-0.33 usec) occurs 0.33 usec earlier than the first event.

Explanation:

the lorentz factor expression is written as;

y = 1₀ / √(1 - (v²/c²))

where v is the relative speed of an observer and c is the speed of light

so we were given that relative speed to be o.7c

therefore

y = 1 / √(1 - ((0.7c)² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - (0.49c² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - 0.49)

y = 1 / 0.7141

y = 1.4

1 - the coordinates of the first event, the s' frame of reference is,

x1 ' = y(x1 - vt1) = 0

y1 ' = y1, z1' = z1 and

t1 ' = y [t1 - v/c²x1]

= 0

2 - the coordinates of the second event, the s ' frame of reference is'

x2 ' = y(x2-vt2)

= 1.4(100m - 0)

= 140m

y2 ' = y2, z2 ' = z2

t2 ' = y [ t2 - v/c²x2 ]

= 1.4 [ 0 - 0.7c/c²(100) ]

using speed of light c as 3*10^8

1.4 [ 0 - (0.7*3*10^8) / (3*10^8)²(100) ]

= -0.33 us

distance between

delltaX' = X2' - X1'

= 140m - 0

= 140m

No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time.

the second even (-0.33 us) occurs 0.33 us earlier than the first event.

A food processor draws 8.47 A of current when connected to a potential difference of 110 V.

Andreyy89

Answer:

27.95[kW*min]

Explanation:

We must remember that the power can be determined by the product of the current by the voltage.

$P=V*I$

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [volt]

I = amperage [Amp]

Now replacing:

$P=110*8.47\\P=931.7[W]$

Now the energy consumed can be obtained mediate the multiplication of the power by the amount of time in operation, we must obtain an amount in Kw per hour [kW-min]

$Energy = 931.7[kW]*30[days]*10[\frac{min}{1day} ]=279510[W*min]or 27.95[kW*min]$

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?

frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

A police officer is called to the scene of a car accident in his accident he sketches the scene and describes it according to hi

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The driver was not telling the truth because it is not possible for a car to hit another car from behind and generate a force to the sides that deflects it from its path.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the driver's statement.

The driver when arriving at the curve, is collided from behind by another car and deviates from his path and crashes into a tree. For the car to go to the tree there must be a force towards the tree.

The net force that causes the car to deviate must be formed by the sum of the motion vector of the first car plus the force that is directed towards the tree.

Here we verify that a car hitting from behind will not generate a force to the sides, but will generate a force in the same direction that the car moves, forward.
