Answer: The correct answer is-

C) The cost to develop the technology would be greater than what could be made in profits.

As per the information in the question, company believes that electric cars are the future of the automotive industry.

It indicates that in future, automobile industries will flourish and get maximum profit through selling of electric cars. This idea will only be fulfilled if the cost to develop the technology would be less and the profit made out of it is significantly larger.

Thus, out of the given factors, only option C) The cost to develop the technology would be greater than what could be made in profits will prohibit the company from developing the idea.

A 3.8kw elective motor powers an inclined conveyer belt. It is designed to lift heavy boxes from the warehouse floor to loading

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of power and work in physics.

The function of the conveyor belt is to carry the boxes from an initial point that is at low altitude to an end point that is at high altitude. In this way the conveyor belt prints a speed to the box to be able to raise it to the required vertical distance.

Since we have a velocity at the beginning and then we place the box at a high position, where then the box remains at rest, we can say that it converts kinetic energy to potential energy.

Power is defined as the relationship of work over time. Therefore we have:

$P=W/t$

where:

P = power = 3.8 [kW] = 3800 [W]

W = work [J]

t = time = 14 [s]

$W=P*t\\W=3800*14\\W= 53200[J] = 53.2[kJ]$

Since the given time is equal to the given time at Point b, we can use the same work calculated.

We know that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled.

$W =F*d$

So, the force is equal to:

$F=W/d\\F=53200/5.3\\F=10037.73[N]$

Now we know that force is defined as the product of mass by gravitation acceleration.

$F =m*g$

where:

F = force or weight = 10037.73 [N]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

m = mass [kg]

$m=F/g\\m = 10037.73/9.81\\m = 1023.2 [kg]$

This part can be solved by means of the energy conservation theorem, where the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy or vice versa.

$E_{pot}=m*g*h = E_{kin}=0.5*m*v^{2}$

where:

h = elevation = 4.7 [m]

v = velocity [m/s]

$m*g*h=0.5*m*v^{2}\\g*h=0.5*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{g*h}{0.5} } \\v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81*4.7}{0.5} } \\v = 9.6 [m/s]$

What could you do to change the volume of a gas?

Lorico [155]

The ONLY way to change the volume of a sample of gas is to transfer it to a container with different volume.
Simply changing its temperature or pressure in the same jar won't do it. Any amount of gas always fills whatever container you keep it in.

What determines velocity rather than speed??

Stella [2.4K]

Velocity - the speed of something in a given direction
Speed - rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; celerity
Velocity is the speed in a certain direction, whereas speed is just the rate of fastness.
Does that make sense?

When light propagates through two adjacent materials that have different optical properties, some interesting phenomena occur at

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

First, the different indices of refraction must be taken into account (in different media): for example, the refractive index of light in a vacuum is 1 (since vacuum = c). The value of the refractive index of the medium is a measure of its "optical density": Light spreads at maximum speed in a vacuum but slower in others transparent media; therefore in all of them n> 1. Examples of typical values of are those of air (1,0003), water (1.33), glass (1.46 - 1.66) or diamond (2.42).

The refractive index has a maximum value and a minimum value, which we can calculate the minimum value by means of the following explanation:

The limit or minimum angle, α lim, is defined as the angle of refraction from which the refracted ray disappears and all the light is reflected. As in the maximum value of angle of refraction, from which everything is reflected, is βmax = 90º, we can know the limit angle (the minimum angle that we would have to have to know the minimum index of refraction) by Snell's law:

βmax = 90º ⇒ n 1x sin α (lim) = n 2 ⇒ sin α lim = n 2 / n 1

Explanation:

When a light ray strikes the separation surface between two media different, the incident beam is divided into three: the most intense penetrates the second half forming the refracted ray, another is reflected on the surface and the third is breaks down into numerous weak beams emerging from the point of incidence in all directions, forming a set of stray light beams.
