Answer:

an axe is a type of machine called a wedge. it does matter how sharp your axe is. if your axe is not sharp then you will have a harder time cutting wood.

Give a strong idea to protect , purify and the beautify of the Dal lake

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Water in dal lake is test for any heavy metals and pollutant, sewage and drainage system are also monitored for the same.

Explanation:

Dal lake is located in Srinagar that is the state capital of Kashmir and is known for recreation and tourism purposes. The area covers about 18 km sq. and forms a part of natural wetlands.

The lake is prone to pollution and has recently undergone restoration measures. To address the problems of eutrophication algae and large-scale microplankton have been removed from the water.

The government of India has taken various measures to check the pollution by setting up a committee to monitor the proper use of allotted funds.

Equipotential surfaces a) make an angle of 45 degrees with the electric field. b) are parallel to the electric field. c) are per

Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90 $^{\circ}$ to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

A bike accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.10 m/s over a distance of 35.4m .determine the acceleration of the bike.

sergeinik [125]

Given: Change of x is 35.4m, Velocity Final=7.10 m/s, Velocity Initial=0m/s
Find: Acceleration
Analysis:
Vf²=Vi²+2aΔx (Velocity final squared equals Velocity initial squared plus 2 times acceleration times change of x)
(7.10 m²/s)²=(0 m/s)²+2a(35.4 m)
50.41 m/s²=(70.8 m)a
a=0.712 m/s²

LOTS OF POINTSA rocket of mass 40 000 kg takes off and flies to a height of 2.5 km as its engines produce 500 000 N of thrust.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

i) E = 269 [MJ] ii)v = 116 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem that encompasses the work and principle of energy conservation.

In this way, we establish the equation for the principle of conservation and energy.

$E_{k1}+W_{1-2}=E_{k2}\\where:\\E_{k1}= kinetic energy at moment 1\\W_{1-2}= work between moments 1 and 2.\\E_{k2}= kinetic energy at moment 2.$

$W_{1-2}= (F*d) - (m*g*h)\\W_{1-2}=(500000*2.5*10^3)-(40000*9.81*2.5*10^3)\\W_{1-2}= 269*10^6[J] or 269 [MJ]$

At that point the speed 1 is equal to zero, since the maximum height achieved was 2.5 [km]. So this calculated work corresponds to the energy of the rocket.

Er = 269*10^6[J]

ii ) With the energy calculated at the previous point, we can calculate the speed developed.

$E_{k2}=0.5*m*v^2\\269*10^6=0.5*40000*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{269*10^6}{0.5*40000} }\\ v=116[m/s]$
