It's inertia. A rule that you see every day, for example a brick will stay in the same spot unless a force acts on it.

Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion is known as its inertia. The first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. The inertia of an object can change its speed and the direction of motion. It is related directly to the mass of an object.

A body having more mass will have more inertia while a body having less mas will have less inertia.

A microwave oven has 1200 W. If it receives 120 V of potential difference, what is the current in the microwave?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

10amps

Explanation:

Given data

Power =1200W

Voltage =120V

Required

The current I

From

P=IV

I= P/V

Substitute

I=1200/120

I= 10amps

Hence the current is 10amps

Which of the following would produce the most power?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

A mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Power = \frac {Energy}{time}$

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

$Power = \frac {mgh}{time}$

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Height = 10m

Time = 5 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²

$Power = \frac {10*9.8*10}{5} = 490 Watts$

Hence, a mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds would produce the most power.

Bicyclists in the Tour de France do enormous amounts of work during a race. For example, the average power per kilogram generate

tigry1 [53]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Average power per unit mass generated by Lance, $\dfrac{P}{m}=6.5\ W/kg$

$P=6.5\times 75=487.5\ W$

(a) Distance to cover race, $d = 160\ km =160\times 10^3\ m$

Average speed of the person, v = 11 m/s

If t is the time taken to cover the race.

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{160\times 10^3\ m}{11\ m/s}$

t = 14545.46 s

Let W is the work done. The relation between the work done and the power is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

$W=P\times t$

$W=487.5\times 14545.46$

W = 7090911.75 J

(b) Since, $1\ J=2.389\times 10^{-4}\ calories$

So, in 7090911.75 J, $W=7090911.75 \times 2.389\times 10^{-4}$

W = 1694.01 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the bar magnet is flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball, the ball will be?

disa [49]

The ball may attracted to the magnet.

<h3>How can we understand that the hanging ball will be attracted to the magnet or not?</h3>

From the question, we understand that the ball is attracted by the north pole of the bar magnet, then the bar magnet flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball.
As we know, in this type of experiments of bar magnet most of the times the ball is made out of steel.
Steel is a magnetic material.
Magnetic materials gets attracted to the magnet at both the North and South pole.
This can be compared to how neutral objects also gets attracted to the positively and negatively charged rods through the Polarization force.

So, If the bar magnet is flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball, The ball will be attracted to the magnet.
