Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
Answer:
19.1 deg
Explanation:
v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s
B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T
q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N
θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field
magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as
F = q v B Sinθ
7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ
Sinθ = 0.327
θ = 19.1 deg
When a red giant has insufficient mass it pretty much sheds its outer layer to leave the center core know as the white dwarf
Answer:
the hotter it gets, the liquid(mercury), expands more and more, and will rise up the tube to the correct line to read the tempature
Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.
A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.
Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.
![500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=500%20%5BW%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B6min%7D%7B1day%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1day%7D%7B24hr%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1hr%7D%7B60min%7D%20%5D%3D2.083%20%5BW%5D)
The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?
We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.
![0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.075%5BkW%5D%2A5.6%5B%5Cfrac%7Bcents%7D%7Bkw%2Ah%7D%7D%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B24hr%7D%7B1day%7D%5D%2A%5B1week%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B7days%7D%7B1week%7D%20%5D%3D70.56%20%5Bcents%5D)
A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?
Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).
Therefore.
![Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Effic%20%3D%20E_%7Bobtained%7D%2FE_%7Bdelivered%7D%5C%5C0.85%3DE_%7Bobtained%7D%2F1200%5C%5CE_%7Bobtained%7D%3D1020%5BJ%5D)
