Answer:

The international system of units otherwisely known as SI is widely used and accepted all over the globe while English system of measurement is only used by the British this limits their usage as it is applied in few part of the world which is Britain.

Both units are form of measurement being used for evaluating measurement

Determine the kinetic energy of a 10 Kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 2m/s.

skelet666 [1.2K]

In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.

Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg

Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s

We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2

= 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2

= 0.5 * 1000 * 400

= 200000 Joules

So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.

i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson

Calculate the average drift speed of electrons traveling through a copper wire with a crosssectional area of 80 mm2 when carryin

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $2.8*10^{-5}ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

The formula for the electron drift speed is given as follows,

$u=I/nAq$

where n is the number of of electrons per unit m³, q is the charge on an electron and A is the cross-sectional area of the copper wire and I is the current. We see that we already have A , q and I. The only thing left to calculate is the electron density n that is the number of electrons per unit volume.

Using the information provided in the question we can see that the number of moles of copper atoms in a cm³ of volume of the conductor is $8.93/63.5 molcm^{-3}$ . Converting this number to m³ using very elementary unit conversion we get $140384molm^{-3}$ . If we multiply this number by the Avagardo number which is the number of atoms per mol of any gas , we get the number of atoms per m³ which in this case is equal to the number of electron per m³ because one electron per atom of copper contribute to the current. So we get,

$n=140384*6.02*10^{23} = 8.45*10^{28}electrons.m^{-3}$

if we convert the area from mm³ to m³ we get $A=80*10^{-6}m^{2}$ .So now that we have n, we plug in all the values of A ,I ,q and n into the main equation to obtain,

$u=30/(8.45*10^{28}*80*10^{-6}*1.602*10^{-19})\\u=2.8*10^{-5}m.s^{-1}$

which is our final answer.

Six new refrigerator prototypes are tested in the laboratory. For each refrigerator, the electrical power P needed for it to ope

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s.

the rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

2.1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device that uses work to remove heat energy from a cold reservoir and deposit it into a hot reservoir. .A good refrigerator (with a large performance coefficient) will remove a large amount of heat energy from the cold reservoir for a small amount of work input

The performance coefficient of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of the heat energy removed from the cold reservoir to the work input to the refrigerator:

k=QC/W

power is defined as work per unit time

1.k=1500/750=2

2. 1200/400=3

3.2000/500=4

4.1000/250=4

5.1500/500=3

6.3000/1000=3

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

2, Rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

rate at which temperature rises in the inner chamber of the refrigerator is proportional to the rate of energy used to dispel heat from the refrigerator

1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s
