Answer:

An object can have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time. ... As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy. Another important concept is work.

Answer:

KE:

energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

PE:

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y directio

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave

is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .

Given Electric field = E i because it is along x axis

Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis

E x B = Ei x Bj

= EB k .

so direction of E x B is along k direction or z - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .

To test the performance of its tires, a car

velikii [3]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the track, r = 516 m

Tangential Acceleration $a_r$ = 3.89 m/s^2

Speed,v = 32.8 m/s

To Find:

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road = ?

Solution:

The radial Acceleration is given by,

$a_{R = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_{R = \frac{(32.8)^2}{516}$

$a_{R = \frac{(1075.84)}{516}$

$a_{R = 2.085 m/s^2$

Now the total acceleration is

$\text{ total acceleration} = \sqrt{\text{(tangential acceleration)}^2 +{\text{(Radial acceleration)}^2$

=> $= \sqrt{ (a_r)^2+(a_R)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (3.89 )^2+( 2.085)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (15.1321)+(4.347)^2}$

=> $19.4791 m/s^2$

The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)

And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)

Now the coefficient of static friction is

$\mu =\frac{f}{W}$

From (1) and (2)

$\mu =\frac{ma}{mg}$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

Substituting the values, we get

$\mu =\frac{19.4791}{9.8}$

$\mu =1.987$

What does an electromagnet have that a bar magnet does not ?

Anon25 [30]

The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

A hair dryer uses 1200 watts of power. Current flow through

KonstantinChe [14]

The answer is: 120V

Power is the rate at which energy is supplied/transformed in time:
we can write:

V ddp in Volts represents Energy/Charge i.e. energy carried by each coulomb;

I current in Amperes represents Charge/time or coulombs passing each seconds.

combining them we have:

Power = energy/time = V • 1

or

1200 = V ⋅ 10
V = 1200/10 = 120V
