Answer:

the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the physicist,w = 100 J

height through which the book is raised, h = 0.2 m

efficiency of machine = 60% = 0.6

The useful work done by the machine is calculated as;

useful work = 0.6 x 100 = 60 J

The wasted energy = 100 J - 60 J

The wasted energy = 40 J

The wasted energy by the machine is possibly converted to thermal energy by the frictional part of the machine.

Therefore, the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

A particle is moving with (SHM) of period 8.0s and amplitude5.0m
nadezda [96]

Answer:

velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

Max speed = \frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}

Max acceleration = \frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Given the description of period and amplitude, the SHM could be described by:

f(x)=5\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

and its angular velocity can be calculated doing the derivative:

f(x)=5\, \,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)\\f'(x)=5\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

And therefore, the tangential velocity is calculated by multiplying this expression times the radius of the movement (3 m):

velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)  and is given in m/s.

Then the maximum speed is obtained when the cosine function becomes "1", and that gives:

Max speed = \frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}

The acceleration is found from the derivative of the velocity expression, and therefore given by:

acceleraton(x)=-15\,\frac{\pi^2}{16}\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

and the maximum of the function will be obtained when the sine expression becomes "-1", which will render:

Max acceleration = \frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Owen and Dina are at rest in frame S' , which is moving at 0.600 c with respect to frame S . They play a game of catch while Ed
Taya2010 [7]

The speed of the ball with respect to Dina is 0.800c.

A frame of reference is a set of reference points—geometric points whose positions are known mathematically and physically—that define the origin, orientation, and scale of an abstract coordinate system.

If a body does not continuously adjust its position in relation to its environment throughout the course of time, it is said to be at rest.

In frame S', Dina and Owen are at rest.

The speed of the ball with respect to Owen, u =0.800c

The speed of the fram S' with respect to frame S,  v = 0.600c

Distance between Dina and Owen, L(p) = 1.8 × 10¹² m

Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball according to Dina is 0.800c. As Dina and Owen are in the same frame.

A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it
joja [24]

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N
