Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

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

a)

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.

b)

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]

c)

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]

d)

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]

Do we use more freshwater in our homes to provide us with electricity
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

No. Water can be used in a hydroelectric dam to generate electricity, but this does not make us use more or less water in our homes.

If the distance d (in meters) traveled by an object in time t (in seconds) is given by the formula d=a+bt2, the si units of a an
ss7ja [257]
Distance , d = a+bt^2

The unit of d is in meter and t is in seconds.

So the unit of a a must be meter.

Now we have unit of bt^2 is meter.

So unit of b*second^2 = meter

Unit of b = meter/second^2

So unit of a = m and unit of b = m/s^2.

Bowen’s reaction series illustrates relations between:
Finger [1]

C. Temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure

Explanation:

The Bowen's reaction series illustrates the relationship between temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure.

The series is made up of a continuous and discontinuous end through which magmatic composition can be understood as temperature changes.

  • The left part is the discontinuous end while the right side is the continuous series.
  • From the series, we understand that a magmatic body becomes felsic as it begins to cool to lower temperature.
  • A magma at high temperature is ultramafic and very rich in ferro-magnesian silicates which are the chief mineral composition of olivine and pyroxene. These minerals are predominantly found in mafic- ultramafic rocks. Also, we expect to find the calcic-plagioclase at high temperatures partitioned in the magma.
  • At a relatively low temperature, minerals with frame work structures begins to form . The magma is more enriched with felsic minerals and late stage crystallization occurs here.
