Answer:

When the ballast tanks are filled with air, the submarine rises to the surface because it has positive buoyancy. With water inside the tanks, the sub has negative buoyancy so it sinks deeper into the ocean. The ballast tanks can also be used to help a submarine surface very quickly in an emergency

Answer:

7.344 s

Explanation:

A = 0.15 x 0.3 m^2 = 0.045 m^2

N = 240

e = - 2.5 v

B1 = 0.1 T

B2 = 1.8 T

ΔB = B2 - B1 = 1.8 - 0.1 = 1.7 T

Δt = ?

e = - dФ/dt

e = - N x A x ΔB/Δt

- 2.5 = - 240 x 0.045 x 1.7 / Δt

2.5 = 18.36 / Δt

Δt = 7.344 s

In an electric vehicle, each wheel is powered by its own motor. The vehicle weight is 4,000 lbs. By regenerative braking, its sp

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

m = 4000 / 2.20462 = 1814.37 kg

Initial velocity $V_{i}$ = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity $V_{f}$ = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ m( $V_{i}$ ² - $V_{f}$ ² )

we substitute

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

A 5.10 kgkg watermelon is dropped from rest from the roof of a 18.5 mm-tall building and feels no appreciable air resistance.

Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

<h3>What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>

Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).

Solution:

mass = 5.10 kg

height = 18.5 mm

We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,

Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system
