Explanation:

The battery is a store of internal energy (shown as chemical energy). The energy is transferred through the wires to the lamp, which then transfers the energy to the surroundings as light. These are the useful energy transfers - we use electric lamps to light up our rooms.

Discuss how the hardness or softness of the landing surface is related to the time required to stop the egg

monitta

Answer

To understand this concept it is necessary to understand Newton's Second Law

According to Newtons Second law applied force is equal to rate of change of momentum of a body.

Mathematically,

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$

here, $\frac{dp}{dt}$ is rate of change of momentum with respect to time

It means If two eggs fall from same height,one on softer surface and other on hard surface that time the momentum of both eggs will remain equal at both the surfaces. But, impact time will be different. On hard surface egg will stop almost instantly so impact time will be small and hence the force on egg will be large therefore the egg will breakup.

On the other hand on the soft surface like a cotton, egg will not stop instantly but it will slow down for a few seconds and then stop due to which the time of impact will increase. Therefore the force on egg will be less and it won't break up.

A maintenance worker wants to torque an engine bolt to 65.0 N m. If the torque wrench is 35cm in length, what is force applied t

harina [27]

Answer:

Force = 186 N

Explanation:

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It can be easely calculated using the formula :

$Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

Where $\vec{r}$ is a vector that from the origin of the coordinate system to the point at which the force is applied (the position vector), $\vec{F}$ is the applied force.

The easiest way of computing the force is by setting the origin of the coordinate system to the lowest point of the torque wrench. By doing this we have that $r$ (the magnitud of the position vector) is 35cm.

Before computing the force we need to set all our values to the international system of units (SI). The torque is already in SI. The one missing is the length of the torque wrench (it is in centimeters and we need it in meters). So :

$35cm * \dfrac{1m}{100cm} = 0.35m$

Now using the torque formula:

$Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

$Torque = rFsin(\theta)}$

Where $\theta$ is the smaller angle between the force and the position vector. Because the force is applied perpendiculary to the position vector $\theta = 90°$ , thus :
