Answer:

Potential energy plus kinetic energy equals mechanical energy because mechanical energy is basically just all of an object's energy, it's just two kinds of energy. The potential is stored inside and kinetic is being used. Both of those together is the total amount of the objects energy, which is the mechanical energy.

Possible energy in addition to kinetic energy approaches mechanical energy in light of the fact that mechanical energy is essentially only the entirety of an article's energy, it's only two sorts of energy. The potential is put away inside and dynamic is being utilized. Both of those together is the aggregate sum of the articles energy, which is the mechanical energy

A circuit breaker is rated for a current of 25 a rms at a voltage of 240 v rms. (a) what is the largest value of imax that the b
Mademuasel [1]

The largest value of current that the breaker can carry = Imax=35.4A

Explanation:

Rms value of current= Irms= 25 A

The rms current and the maximum current are related as

Imax= √2 Irms

Imax=√2 (25)

Imax=35.4 A

Thus the maximum current carried by the breaker= 35.4 A

Bridget is riding her bicycle up a hill. Which statements are correct? Check all that apply.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.

The bicycle is using energy to do work.

Bridget has kinetic energy.

The bicycle has potential energy.

The bicycle has mechanical energy.

Explanation:

Energy can be transformed from one form to another. A body possess kinetic energy due to virtue of its motion. Potential energy is possessed by a body due to virtue of its position. mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. Nuclear energy is produced when atoms split or two atoms fuse together.

When Bridget is riding bicycle up a hill. Energy involved is both kinetic energy due to motion and potential energy due to gain in height up the hill. Bridget is pedaling, hence he is transferring energy to the bicycle. Bridget is in motion along with the bicycle. Hence, both Bridget and Bicycle have kinetic energy and potential energy. We can say both have mechanical energy. Thus correct options are:

Bridget is transferring energy to the bicycle.

The bicycle is using energy to do work.

Bridget has kinetic energy.

The bicycle has potential energy.

The bicycle has mechanical energy.

Nepal has high potential for producing hydroelectricity however it is difficult too.
Stels [109]

Answer:

I'm not a scholar of hydroelectric power in Nepal, so consider my answers carefully, below.

Explanation:

High Potential:  Hydroelectric power comes from the potential energy stored in a mass that is above Earth's surface.  As the word "hydro" implies, the mass in this case is water.  Water from snow and glacier melt, and from normal precipitation (rain) in mountainous regions eventually cascades down the mountains in fast-flowing rivers or waterfalls.  Often, there are lakes or man-made reservoirs to collect and store the water before it flows down.  Mt. Everest is 8848 meters tall (about 29,000 feet).    If a lake forms at just 2,000 meters, one can calculate the amount of energy in each kilogram of water stored in the lake that represents the potential energy available at that altitude.  1 kg of water at 2,000 meters has potential energy, PE, according to the equation:  PE = mgh, where m is the mass in kg, g is Earth's acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/sec^2), and h is height, in meters.  

PE = mGH

PE = (1 kg)*(9.8 m/sec^2)*(2,000 meters) = 19,000 kg*m/sec^2

1 kg*m/sec^2 is the SI unit for 1 Joule, a measure of energy.

This potential energy can be converted into electrical energy by releasing the water so that it can flow down to a water-powered turbine that spins magnets and coils of wire that produce electricity.  The 19,000 Joules of water potential energy can be converted to electrical power, less any inefficiency in the system, such as friction.

Nepal has the natural advantage in that it has many high mountain ranges with water flows that can be used for generating electrical power.  The result is low operating costs (the fuel is the flowing water) and no greenhouse gas emissions

The difficulty in developing hydroelectric power in Nepal is due to the same factor that gives it an advantage:  it is difficult constructing large hydroelectric plants in such rough terrain, and the power lines that are needed to transport the power to its destination are expensive and difficult to maintain and repair.

A light spring obeys Hooke's law. The spring's unstretched length is 34.0 cm. One end of the spring is attached to the top of a
sleet_krkn [62]

When the spring is extended by 44.5 cm - 34.0 cm = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m, it exerts a restoring force with magnitude R such that the net force on the mass is

∑ F = R - mg = 0

where mg = weight of the mass = (7.00 kg) g = 68.6 N.

It follows that R = 68.6 N, and by Hooke's law, the spring constant is k such that

k (0.105 m) = 68.6 N   ⇒   k = (68.6 N) / (0.105 m) ≈ 653 N/m
