Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg

It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.

(a) The kinetic energy is given by : E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.

(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : E_p=mgh

It can be calculated as :

E_p=2.35\times 9.8\times 21.4\\\\E_p=492.84\ J

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

M = 0 J + 492.84 J

M = 492.84 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

An extension cord is used with an electric weed trimmer that has a resistance of 17.9 Ω. The extension cord is made of copper (r
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) R_{c}=0.87ohms

(b) V_{T}=114.44V

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V

A man wishes to pull a crate 15m across a rough floor by exerting a force of 100 N. The
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance in the direction of force.

force, f = 100 N

Coefficient of friction, = 0.25

distance = 15 m

So, net force F = f - friction force

F = 100 - 0.25 x m g

Work = (100 - 0.25 mg) x d cosθ

For minimum work, the angle should be maximum.

So, the value of θ is 76°.

thus, option (E) is correct.

These the flow of electrons (the current) and where some of the electrons' energy gets converted into heat. (Lessons 5.01-5.03)
liq [111]

Answer:

Conductors.

Explanation:

Conductors allow the flow of electrons i. e. the current and where some of the electrons energy gets converted into heat while some electrons energy converted into light. Conductors are the materials which has the ability to allow heat and electricity to flow through them. Metals such as gold, copper, Silver, Aluminum, Mercury, Steel, Iron and salty water etc are good conductors of heat and electricity.

If someone throws a 3 gram fry accelerating at 5 meter/second2, what is the fry’s force?
Alex

Answer:

0.015 m/s2

Explanation:

Using Newtons 2nd law.

F = ma where F = Force applied, m = mass of the object and a = acceleration acquired.

So substitute the values in SI units.

m = \frac{3}{1000} kg

Therefore F = 0.003×5 = 0.015 m/s2
