Question 6 of 15

Physics
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago

Answer: A) True, you are correct

==================================================

Explanation:

Power in physics is defined as

power = (change in work)/(change in time)

which shows that power is basically the rate of work done. We can think of it like a speed of sorts.

------------

For example, if you apply 100 joules of work over 2 seconds, then,

power = (100 joules)/(2 seconds)

power = (100/2) joules per second

power = 50 watts

A watt is defined to be a joule per second, and it's often used to measure how much electricity is consumed, but it has broader uses in physics as well.

How do I solve such problem???
labwork [276]

1).  Calculate how long it takes an object to fall 4,000 m after it's dropped. (Use D = (1/2) (g) (T²) .  D is 4,000 m.  g = 9.8 m/s².  Find T .)

2).  Calculate how far the object will move HORIZONTALLY in that length of time, if it's moving at 75 m/s.  (Distance = (75 m/s) x (time) . )

Star a has a parallax angle of 0.02 arcseconds, and star b has a parallax of angle of 0.1 arcseconds. which star is more distant
Studentka2010 [4]
<span>Star a is more distant and is approximately 5 times as far away as star b Parallax is the change in angle that one must do in order to observe the same object from different locations. The further away an object is, the smaller the parallax is. As the angles approach zero, the trig functions tend to be fairly linear. And 0.1 arc seconds and 0.02 arc seconds are close enough to zero for this to hold true. Since the parallax for star a is smaller than the parallax for star b, it is the more distant star. And since 0.1 divided by 0.02 = 5, it is approximately 5 times further away than star b.</span>

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts
Nata [24]

(a) The system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are the wagon and the children outside the wagon.

(b) The acceleration of the child-wagon system is 0.33 m/s².

(c) Acceleration of the child-wagon system is zero when the frictional force is 21 N.

<h3>Net force on the third child</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

∑F = ma

where;

  • ∑F is net force
  • m is mass of the third child
  • a is acceleration of the third child

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 12 N = 9 N

Thus, the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are;

  • the wagon
  • the children outside the wagon

<h3>Acceleration of the  child and wagon system</h3>

a = ∑F/m

a = 9 N / 27 kg

a = 0.33 m/s²

<h3>When the frictional force is 21 N</h3>

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 21 N = 0 N

a = ∑F/m

a = 0/27 kg

a = 0 m/s²

A 3.50-meter length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 × 10-6 meter2 is at 20° Celsius. If the wire has a resistance of
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m

Explanation:

Resistivity is given by \rho=\frac {AR}{L} where A is cross-sectional area, R is resistance, L is the length and \rho is the reistivity. Substituting 0.0625 for R, 3.14 × 10-6 for A and 3.5 m for L then the resistivity is equivalent to

\rho=\frac {3.14\times 10^{-6}\times 0.0625}{3.5}=5.60714285714285714285714285714285714285\times 10^{-8}\approx 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m

What is the difference between kinetic and gravitacional energy?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies
