The available options are:

Mint is a dicot.

Mint is a monocot.

Mint is an angiosperm.

Mint is a bulb plant.

Answer:

Mint is a dicot.

Explanation:

Given the fact that Mint is considered to be a member of Lamiaceae, an angiosperm plant which is characterized by typically having leaves that consist of reticulate vacation and appears like veins in structure. It also has a seed that contains two cotyledons.

Hence, it is considered a DICOT PLANT due to these characteristics. The botanical name of Mint is referred to as Mentha arvensis.

If two objects A and B have the same kinetic energy but A has three times the momentum of B, what is the ratio of their inertias

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$\frac{inertia_B}{inertia_A}=9$

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that:

- The kinetic energy of an object is given by $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ , where m is the mass and v is the speed

- The momentum of an object is given by $p=mv$

- The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass, so we can write $I=km$ , where k just indicates a constant of proportionality

In this problem, we have:

- $K_A = K_B$ (the two objects have same kinetic energy)

- $p_A = 3 p_B$ (A has three times the momentum of B)

Re-writing both equation we have:

$\frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2\\m_A v_A = 3 m_B v_B$

If we divide first equation by second one we get

$v_A = 3 v_B$

And if we substitute it into the first equation we get

$m_A (3 v_B)^2 = m_B v_B^2\\9 m_A v_B^2 = m_B v_B^2\\m_B = 9 m_A$

So, B has 9 times more mass than A, and so B has 9 times more inertia than A, and their ratio is:

$\frac{I_B}{I_A}=\frac{km_B}{km_A}=\frac{9m_A}{m_A}=9$

Find the useful power output (in W) of an elevator motor that lifts a 2600 kg load a height of 30.0 m in 12.0 s, if it also incr

Annette [7]

Answer:

P = 251,916.667 W

Cost = 2,267.25 cents

Explanation:

To solve this question we will use the Work Energy Theorem, which is

$W = dP + dK\\$

Where

$dP$ = Change in Potential Energy

$dK$ = Change in Kinetic Energy

Change in Potential Energy

$P_{i} = mgh_{i}\\ P_{f} = mgh_{f}$

Where

$P_{i}$ = Initial Potential Energy

$P_{f}$ = Final Potential Energy

$m$ = Mass of System = 10,000 kg

$g$ = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s

$h_{i}$ = Initial Height = 0

$h_{f}$ = Final Height = 30 m

Inputting the values we get the answer for $dP$

$dP = P_{f} - P_{i}\\dP= mgh_{f} - mgh_{i}\\ dP= 10000(9.81)(30) - 0\\ dP= 2943000$

Change in Kinetic Energy

$K_{i} = \frac{1}{2} mv_{i} ^2\\ K_{f} = \frac{1}{2} mv_{f} ^2$

Where

$K_{i}$ = Initial Kinetic Energy

$K_{f}$ = Final Kinetic Energy

$m$ = Mass of System = 10,000 kg

$g$ = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s

$v_{i}$ = Initial Velocity = 0 m/2

$v_{f}$ = Final Velocity = 4 m/s

Inputting the values we get the answer for $dK$

$dK = K_{f} - K_{i}\\ dK = \frac{1}{2} mv_{f} ^2 - \frac{1}{2} mv_{i} ^2\\ dK = \frac{1}{2} (10000)(4)^2 - 0 \\ dK = 80000$

Total Work

$W = dP + dK\\$

Inputting the values

$W = 2943000 + 80000$

$W = 3,023,000$

a) Finding the useful Power Output

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

Where

$P$ = Power Output

$W$ = Work Done = 3,023,000J

$t$ = Time = 12s

Inputting the values

$P = \frac{3,023,000}{12}\\ P = 251,916.667$

P = 251,916.667 W

b) Finding the Total Cost

Cost = $0.0900 x P/1000

Cost = $0.0900 x (251,916.667/1000)

Cost = $22.67 or 2,267.25 cents
