Answer:

3km due West

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. From this definition, we can see that displacement is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.

So;

 For the first day, the person walks 4km East:

                                                           4km

                                     Start ----------------------------→ first day

                                                            7km

              ← ------------------------------------------------------  Second day

                                           

The displacement of the boy  = 7km  - 4km  = 3km due West

Answer:

Power_input = 85.71 [W]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must first find the work done. Work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W = F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

F = force [N] (units of Newton)

d = distance [m]

We need to bear in mind that the force can be calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravity acceleration.

Now replacing:

W = (80*10)*3\\W = 2400 [J]

Power is defined as the work done over a certain time. In this way by means of the following formula, we can calculate the required power.

P=\frac{W}{t}

where:

P = power [W] (units of watts)

W = work [J]

t = time = 40 [s]

P = 2400/40\\P = 60 [W]

The calculated power is the required power. Now as we have the efficiency of the machine, we can calculate the power that is introduced, to be able to do that work.

Effic=0.7\\Effic=P_{required}/P_{introduced}\\P_{introduced}=60/0.7\\P_{introduced}=85.71[W]

When a wire is made thicker its resistance what?
NeTakaya
Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.

……………………………………………………………..?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

First find the electrical wattage

W = I^2 * R

R = 12 ohms

I = 2 amps

Wattage = 2^2 * 12

Wattage = 4* 12

Wattage = 48 watts.

Now you need to use the power formula

Work = Power * Time

Work = ?

Power = 48 watts

Time = 3 minutes = 3 * 60 = 180 seconds.

Work = 48 * 180

Work = 8640 J

That's C

Which option lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy

We know that,

Sound energy :

The movement of energy through object it is called sound energy. When a object produced vibration by force then it moves in wave.

Sound wave is example of kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy :

The store energy in the nucleus of the atom it is called nuclear energy. This energy released when occurs fusion and fission.

Nuclear energy is the example of potential energy

Magnetic energy :

Magnetic energy is a type of potential energy which is depend on distance and position in the magnetic field.

Electromagnetic energy :

Electromagnetic energy is light energy. it is type of kinetic energy.

Gravitational energy :

Gravitational energy is a type of potential energy. It is an energy related with gravity or gravitational force.

Elastic energy :

The store energy in elastic object it is called elastic energy. This energy is a type of potential energy.

Electrical energy :

The movement of electrons is called electrical energy. When electrons move through a wire then it is are called electricity. Electrical energy is type of kinetic energy.

Hence, Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.
