Answer:

Efficiency of a machine is 90% this means that the total energy produced to the machine only 90% is useful and given as a output.

Machines are not 100% efficient because some of the work done by a machine is used to overcome friction

Explanation:

A simple machine has efficiency 90% means that 10% of the applied effort is wasted due to overcoming friction and 90% of the applied force is used in doing useful work .No machinr has hundred percent efficiency because every machine is affected by overcoming friction .

When performing an.experiment similar to Millikan's oil drop, a student measured the following load magnitudes: 3.26x10 ^-19 C 5

torisob [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We put the charges in the ascending order as follows

1.53 P

3.26 P

4.66 P

5.09 P

6.39 P

where P is equal to 10⁻¹⁹

we round off given charges as follows

1.53 P → 1.6 P

3.26 P → 3.2 P

4.66 P → 4.8 P

5.09 P → 4.8 P

6.39 P → 6.4 P

We see that 2 nd to 4 th charges are integral multiples of first charge . That means these charges are supposed to be made of combination of first charge . So first charge appears to be minimum possible charge .

Hence this charge may exist on single electron.

find the average velocity of a bicycle that starts 100km south and is 120km south of town after 0.4 hours

dusya [7]

Answer:

The average velocity is 50 km/h south

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by

the total time taken.

That means it is the rate at which an object changes its position from

one place to another.

Average velocity is a vector quantity.

The SI unit is meters per second.

A bicycle that starts 100 km south and is 120 km south of town after

0.4 hour.

The displacement = 120 - 100 = 20 km south

The time = 0.4 hour

The average velocity = $\frac{D}{T}$ , where D is the displacement

and t is the time

The average velocity of the bicycle = $\frac{20}{0.4}=50$ km/h

The average velocity is 50 km/h south

If you want it in meter per second, change the kilometer to meter

and change the hour to seconds

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

The average velocity of the bicycle = $\frac{50(1000)}{3600}=13.89$ m/s south

Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.80 m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal grav

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

a) 3673469.39 seconds

b) 6.61×10¹⁴ m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0.12×3×10⁸ m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0.12\times 3\times 10^8=0+9.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0.12\times 3\times 10^8}{9.8}=3673469.39\ s$

Time taken to reach 12% of light speed is 3673469.39 seconds

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{(0.12\times 3\times 10^8)^2-0^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\Rightarrow s=6.61 \times 10^{14}\ m$

The distance it would have to travel is 6.61×10¹⁴ m
